Product Description

Amazon.ca

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a successful transition to comedy with this 1990 box-office hit directed by Ivan Reitman. Arnold plays an undercover cop whose attempt to locate a little boy and his mother leads him to a small-town kindergarten class, where he poses as a teacher while continuing his investigation. He's also trying to catch a vicious drug dealer (Richard Tyson), whose ex-wife and son are the pair that Arnold's trying to rescue from impending danger. The scenes featuring Arnold and a classroom full of kindergartners are a real hoot, and Pamela Reed offers enjoyable support as Schwarzenegger's police partner, while Penelope Ann Miller (as another teacher) provides a low-key romantic interest and Carroll Baker steals her scenes as the villain's domineering mother. These familiar elements combine to make this a surprisingly lively and entertaining comedy-thriller, but parents are advised to heed the PG-13 rating: there are a lot of funny kids in the movie, but it's still a police thriller, with a violent climax that's not suitable for young viewers. --Jeff Shannon

3.0 out of 5 stars not a bad movie,but Feb 1 2008
By falcon TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
i wouldn't say it's a comedy.it's not a bad movie.it's billed as part
comedy,but i wouldn't really say it's a comedy.i think it's more a
crime drama,with a bit of lite humour thrown in.there are one or two
mildly amusing moments,but nothing i would consider funny.the premise
is good.Arnold Schwarzeneggar plays a cop who has to go undercover as a
kindergarten teacher.i think they could have exploited this fish out of
water angle more in depth and longer.still the movie is actually
entertaining for the most part,as a crime drama.Arnold again teams up
with director Ivan Reitman(their previous collaboration was Twins).i
actually liked this movie more.Pamela Reed and Penelope and Miller also
star,but both have less to do than i would have liked.Linda Hunt as the
school administrator(or principal,her title is never really
mentioned)is good,in what is basically a cameo.for me,Kindergarten Cop
is a 3/5

4.0 out of 5 stars Dig the heck outta it.... Jun 29 2004
Format:DVD
....the stubbled Dirty Harry styled undercover cop runs for cover from rampaging six year olds. Fuuun-neee! Best scene: Kimble catches kid eating everyone's lunches..."you eat der lunt-ches?" Kid is scared stiff as Kimble gives him the eye to eye. "Stop it!" Kimble shakes and drops kid like he would a drug dealer off the roof of a five story and walks off. I always get a kick outta that! See it once more. Good movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Governator at his best May 14 2004
Format:DVD
One might not think this movie would have ever worked. 1990 was a pretty good year for Arnold with Total Recall and one might not have put him in this movie. It paired him back up with Twins director Ivan Reitman and I don't think mainstream America could see Arnold in this film.

John Kimble(Schwarzenegger) is a detective that loves his job. He is trying to bring down a drug lord Crisp(Tyson). To do that he must find Crisp's ex-wife and child. They have the evidence he needs to do that, but nobody is quite sure where they are. They are found though and they are living in the small town of Asotria, Oregon. Kimble then teams up with his new partner Phoebe(Reed) to go there and find them.

They go to Oregon and have arrangements made for Phoebe to go undercover at the local school. They know Crisps kid would be five and should be in kindergarten. There is only one kindergarten class so he has to be there. After Phoebe gets sick somebody has to fill in and Kimble steps up. He'll take her place and pretend to be a kindergarten teacher.

The plan quickly backfires in his place. He barely makes it through his first day. If it werent' for another teacher Joyce(Miller) he wouldn't have made it. I'm not going to reveal anymore of the plot because it spoils the movie and this really is a fun movie.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the man in the movie. You have to love watching him interact with the kids in the movie. He is so much bigger than all of them, most of them are only up past his knees. You get to see a softer side of Arnold and at this point this was only the second family oriented movie he had made other than Twins. A lot of people didn't think he could interact with the kids and he shines.

The kids are fantastic in the movie. This kind of movie all depends on the chemistry of the kids and the star. You can tell the kids loved working with Arnold and why wouldn't they have. At this time in his carear he was the biggest action star in Hollywood. All the kids are great and they will leave you laughing and smiling.

Some have said this really isn't all that of a kids movie. I have to agree with them in some ways. I saw if for the first time at 8 years old and I had no problem with it. Some kids might not understand why the mom and kid are running and thats up to parents to explain that to them. Parts of the movie are a little violent and there is some swearing but it's all PG-13 stuff.

I love this movie. I've enjoyed it for over a decade now. Arnold is the man and this movie is one of the reasons why. Everybody should see this comedy at least once. So go get it and be prepared for a good time.
