This winning 1990 comedy stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in an initially self-deprecating role as a grizzled, big-city cop who goes undercover as a small-town kindergarten teacher to nab a killer. One of the best films of director Ivan Reitman (Dave), this comedy (with some thriller elements) went a long way to further soften and broaden Schwarzenegger's image after Reitman worked with him in the gentle Twins. But Kindergarten Cop is genuinely touching, the story of a hard man who visibly finds his true passion and soul by leaving behind the rot of urban crime. Penelope Ann Miller is a delight as the love interest, Pamela Reed is wonderful as Arnold's cop partner, old pro Carroll Baker is quite nasty as the villain's evil mother, and Linda Hunt--whose diminutive stature makes for quite a contrast with Schwarzenegger when they share scenes--is entertaining as a tough principal. Upon its release, some people assumed the title meant this is a good movie for little kids, but it isn't. --Tom Keogh

Arnie faces his greatest challenge; KIDS !!!
Review date: 2007-05-28 Rating: 10 out of 10
After battling cyborgs, Predator, terrorists and mercenaries, Arnie faces his greatest challenge; KIDS !!! He acts as a cop in the style of Stallone in Cobra on the trail of a notorious criminal. The only way he can get to him though is via his kid..thus explaining the kindergarten.
Arnie is on the trail of Cullen Crisp, and has been for years. This trail leads him to Astoria, Oregon, and to the local elementary school to do something unbelievable--teach 5-year olds! He must protect a young boy, Dominic Palmieri, and track down Cullen. This won't be easy, with little ones all over him!
Poor Arnie is up to his ears in paint sets, screaming, toys, and whining. But when he begins to show them how to be tough, the kids begin to like him, and the feeling is reciprocal.
My favorite parts are when Arnie sees the children acting horribly, and he sreams "SHUTUP! SHUTUP! SHUTUP!" and all the kids start crying, so he runs out of the school. I felt so bad for them! another great part was the game "Who's your daddy, and what does he do?" The answers were comical (Rina and Tina: Our mom says that our dad is a real sex machine!, My dad lives in NY and drives a taxi. My mom hopes he dies real soon, Joesph: My dad is a gynecologist. He looks at vaginas all day.) This movie also had some great lines (Joesph: Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina. Arnie: Thanks for the tip. Arnie: It's not a tuma!")
this is a great film, and the kids certainly make it memorable. I highly recommend this film to everyone! Like kindergarten, you definitely don't want to turn your back on this movie!:)
Terrible!!!!!!!

Typical silly american humour, not funny in the slightest and not very entertaining either. Arny has made a lot of very bad films put this is probably the worst. May appeal to kids or people of a childs interlect, but not to any one else. Story line and acting are below standard for good viewing.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

Thoroughly enjoyed this one.Maybe not evryones cup of tea as maybe a bit too slushly especially if you don't like to see loads of kids in a film!
I like the split personality of this film with arnie doing a great job as an undercover cop posing as a kindergarten teacher to try and capture a drug dealer.
not too heavy on the action although enough to make it believable,the comic touches are well played also.
Not too be taken too seriously but all the better for it.
A great way to spend a rainy sunday afternoon...
Who would have thought it, Arnie as a Kindergarten teacher!

We are used to seeing Arnie in fast-action, violent films with lots of killing and blood, like 'Terminator' and 'Predator' where he hardly says anything apart from "I'll be back!". Therefore it is quite a suprise that here we see him playing a tough cop-turned-Kindergarten-teacher and you may not think that he would be much good in that type role, because i know i certainly did and i started watching it rather skeptically. However, i couldn't have been more wrong. Arnie plays the role amazingly and i couln't really imagine anyone else playing the giant school teacher. The kids faces on the film when he first walks in reflect how tall he really is, especially to them.
The story is basically about a tough cop who has to go undercover as a Kindergarten teacher to find the wife and son of an elusive criminal. Then he must persuade he to give evidence to convict her ex-husband and get him 'sent down' for a long long time.
Although Arnie is not the greatest actor in the world when he is not holding a machine gun or a bazuka he still manages to play this part really well and makes what is a slightly unbelievable storyline, believable.
There are other actors who, like Arnie usually appear in 'action' films (for example Sylvester Stallone) and unfortunately their attemps at comedy have not done so well, however Arnie is brilliant in the few comedys he has been in and they have been very succesful.
Well, another great film from Arnie and in places, quite funny, It's also a nice change to see him doing somthing a bit more gentle.
