not in his being an equal to Schwarzenegger but in his portraying a drug dealer with a grudge as a three dimensional character who will stop at nothing to get his son back. Schwarzeneeger also gets to get have some romance and although he at times looks ready to kill his very beautiful love interest Penelope Ann Miller he manages to be a very charming lead who the audience are helpless but to root for. The screenplay by Salem, Harris and Weingrod is both touching and funny with memorable lines such as the deadpan interrogation scene "Who is your daddy and what does he do?". The kids also are great featuring a diverse group who almost steal the show with lines such as "Boy's have a penis, girl's have a vagina". The film also contains some classic Arnie one liners such his "I'm the party pooper" kiss off before shooting down some low lives. Such lines refer to Arnie's tough guy persona and shows that he is not afraid to poke fun at himself. The difference in Kindgarten Cop is that he is playing a vulnerable human character and the audience does not want him to be hurt not just because he is the hero but because they like him. The score too is exceptional being appropriately sweet and upbeat as well at sometimes hitting darker more sinister tones. They truly don't make them like this anymore, just see awful modern examples such as Vin Diesel's The Pacifer for proof or rather don't see them, watch Kindergarten Cop again and see a great action star and comedy director team up to make a most enjoyable work.

that kind of movie to begin with! It's about a cop who tries to find a Criminals ex wife as a witness and ends up being a Kindergarten teacher, who brings a lot of goodness to the community whilst saving the damsel in distress. It's fun to watch, and goes well with anyone who's building an Arnie collection. rent it, buy it, you'll enjoy it.

think this is a movie made for kids, but there are definitely some adult themes in this film. This film is rated PG-13 for a reason.The cast in this film is very good. Arnold Schwarzenegger pulls off another great performance! Penelope Ann Miller, Pamela Reed, Linda Hunt, Richard Tyson, Joseph Cousins, Christian Cousins, and all the children in the film do great jobs with their roles. I would imagine that a film like this would be a nightmare to direct, with all those little kids running around. So, I've got to give some extra props to Ivan Reitman for a job well done.I would definitely recommend this film to anyone and everyone. I didn't think there was anything to dislike about the film. So, when you do see the film, I truly hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading,-Chris

quotes by other actors. There was decent action scenes for a comedy. The supporting actors did a swell job especially the antagonist and Kimble's partner. I enjoyed the film and would think it should be in the top 250 films list, but everyone has their own opinion and I respect that... sort of. Overall swell movie. I would watch it with your family, but be warned that there are some sexual references and profane or lewd speech so don't watch it with little kids. I would stick with 10 and up.

completely falls for a fellow teacher Penelope Ann Miller and forms a strong bond with her son Joseph/Christian Cullins .What makes this movie such a classic effort is that it is so multi-dimensional. Included are...-A typical gun-toting Arnie taking the law into his own hands. -Some hilarious comedy that will have you laughing out loud on numerous occasions. -Rich, developed characters that help suck you into the well-constructed plot. -A light, more romantic side of Arnold.All these different scenarios, mixed together perfectly by director Ivan Reitman, create a film in which every scene offers something to behold. Watching Mr. Kimble struggle with his new young charges is hilarious, while scenes towards the end of the flick will have you on the edge of your seat and perhaps even in real suspense.Overall, then, I consider "K-Cop" to be perhaps the most well-rounded performance of Schwarzenegger's career...and just a darn good movie to boot! Though some scenes will be too graphic or inappropriate for the real young kiddies, this is also a film that can be enjoyed by the whole family...again, because it offers so many different genres.

small town with their son, and changed their names in the process. To find them, Arnie must pose as a kindergarten teacher, and hilarity ensues.'Kindergarten Cop' may not be as heavy on the action as some of Arnie's other movies from the time 80s / early 90s , but on the other hand, it is very funny. It delivers some classic lines from not only Arnie, but also his disciples of awesome students, whatever you wish to call them . 'Kindergarten Cop' proves that Arnie is family-friendly, as well as awesome. Bravo!8/10 - Check it out. You should like it, and if you don't, I'm sure Arnie will forgive you.

interesting to see Carroll Baker again, an actress I hadn't seen since the 1960s. I'd like to have seen her smile, but she frowned throughout her minor role in here.Storywise, this is typical Hollywood in that it depicts family life in a poor way. I know there are many single mothers out there today but in this movie - which is 17 years old - ALL of the kids in the class come from single homes except one, and that kid is being beaten up by this father! Excuse me - not one normal family out of 25?? Come on! Somebody should inform Hollywood there ARE happily married people in the United States....or at least outside the sick confines of Tinseltown.Anyway, the positives outweigh the negatives in the film and the unique mix of humor and suspense make this interesting for the full 111 minutes.

could project herself as more formidable than Arnold Schwarzenegger. I also loved the comic timing Broadway's Pamela Reed brought to the film. Her character's pragmatism to Kimble's take it all on, made for another good contrast. Overall the film is good for the whole family or a solitary rainy afternoon escape.
