Arnold Schwarzenegger pregnant? Sure, Billy Crystal did it before in RABBIT TEST, but the sight of Schwarz with a bulging belly is a casting coup comparable to Dustin Hoffman in TOOTSIE. What should be nothing more than a one-joke premise actually gets better as it goes along. Director Ivan Reitman (DAVE, TWINS) wisely keeps the farce to a minimum, so the first hour moves slower than you might expect. Don't expect too many yuks from Danny DeVito, but you can't beat those early romantic scenes between Emma and Arnie. How's *that* for a collision of acting styles? Bring hankies, ladies. Grade: B+
