Kindergarten Cop (1990)

Boring

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Schwarzenegger always played a badass type,in early part he does,but after became a kindergarden's teacher arouse him a pleasure to work with children,this movie itself falling down in those hollywood clichés,too many soppy,as were conceived as commercial picture we must understand,therefore it ends up all fall down a little bit,in other hand we have a crook and his cruel mother marvelous acting by Carroll Baker and also Linda Hunt as quite often had an encreased value to the plot,taking he picture in a high level,in general way the result was totally satisfying as family movie!!Resume:First watch: 1992 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a rough, dirty cop who is forced to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher in Astoria, Oregon, in pursuit of a mob witness.It sounds obscene, but not to despair. Arnold is his likable self, there are occasional outbursts of violence, Penelope Ann Miller has a dazzling smile, you don't get such an overdose of sentimentality that you feel you've been slimed, and it has its funny moments.A lot of the amusing stuff comes from the five-year olds, some of them disgustingly cute. But the funniest scenes of all come from Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to act. He's marvelous. He's blunt and forthright in his projections. If emotions like rage were a weight, he'd bench press them. When the anarchic kiddies are about to drive him nuts he explodes with anger and you ought to see it. His mandible juts forward, his lavender lips open in a tangled "O", and you can see every single one of his teeth, including his impacted molars, and they are all made of muscle not ivory. "ARGHHH!," roars Arnold, giving it everything he's got.At the end, the erstwhile baffled body builder learns how to take pride in helping children and leaves his rough-hewn ways back in Los Angeles to join his new-found profession. How could it be otherwise? Some of the kids really ARE cute in their artless ways. They stumble while reciting their lines, fall over toy furniture, things like that.The whole thing works in the most commercial sense. Arnold is a businessman. He and I got along very well together on our unforgettable joint project, "Raw Deal" or whatever it was called. Yes, I'd say we resonated. I glanced at him and his cigar once or twice and he glanced at my T shirt ("Walker Museum, Minneapolis") then ignored me completely. He and director Ivan Reitman are in synchrony. Neither wants to make a particularly good movie. They want to make money -- and they no doubt did.

People who hate this movie obviously don't have a good taste it's super funny, action-packed and touching. Arnold is great in the role and it's really good to see him going down by bunch of kids in this film. The Cast does a pretty great job as well Pamela Reed, Penelope Ann Miller, Richard Tyson and Linda Hunt. The movie is directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Twins and Junior). This film probably has some of the most memorable one liners of all time (Shut Up, Who is your daddy and what does he do? I'm a Cop you Idiot, It's not a Tumor). Also the movie has a really sad/happy ending and Hollywood is already working on a sequel with Dolph Lundgren and it will be released straight on DVD and it will probably suck and ruin our childhoods forever. Anyways fans of Ivan Reitman and Schwarzenegger will love this film a 10 out of 10.

Police detective John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is tracking stone-cold killer Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson). He arrests him for murder. Detective Phoebe O'Hara (Pamela Reed) is assigned to be his partner. They track Cullen's ex Rachel (Penelope Ann Miller) to an Oregon kindergarten after she supposedly stole Cullen's millions and their son. O'Hara is sick and Kimble is pressed into undercover work as a substitute teacher looking for which mother is the former drug lord wife.The setup is a bit too dangerous. The basic premise is to get Arnold into a kindergarten class. That is actually a very funny premise. He is hilarious with the kids. The problem is that it's also a violent crime drama. There's no way to bridge the two disparate aspects of this movie. It works as a comedy as long as Arnold's with the kids and nobody remembers the cold blooded killers lurking out there. Once the movie touches anything serious, the movie grinds to a halt.
