Did you people see the same film I saw?
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
This truly is a lovely Schwarzenegger Classic movie that i watched so many times growing up on video, i remember this movie from very young & always loved Arnold films he was the first actor i knew & liked & here he is a joy to watch & that's also because the great Ivan reitman knows great feelgood comedy!!! Schwarzenegger gives a fun performance as Richard Kimble the under cover cop pretending to be a kindergarten teacher & it's so much fun with cool quotable lines & a beautiful music score & excellently directed by REITMAN make this old school cop comedy Thriller a true classic!!! Won't need to talk about the plot or story as everyone knows it!!!! Just a great fun family film with some comedy,drama & action but mixed together perfectly by director ivan reitman & a great performance by Schwarzenegger, a childhood CLASSIC that I've watched hundreds of times, it's so much fun
When people think back on the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, they will most likely strike upon his "Terminator" role, his portrayal of musclebound "Conan the Barbarian", and his penchant for shoot-em-up 1980's action flicks. However, "Kindergarten Cop" gives Arnold perhaps his most complete vehicle for showcasing all sides of his acting talent.For a basic plot summary, this movie sees undercover cop John Kimble (Arnold) become a kindergarten teacher in order to scope out baddie Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson). While teaching (or trying to, anyway!), he 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.
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 surprise 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 couldn't really imagine anyone else playing the giant school teacher. The cast are great, it has a real feel-good vibe to it, and the chemistry between the star and the children is spot on. 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."Kindergarten Cop" is nothing less than great entertainment. It captures the very essence of the simple, feel-good story, here blended together with a bit of action and an edge that works surprising well against the comedy; nearly as well as the juxtaposition that is "bodybuilder teaches kindergarten." It's great fun, one of the most quotable films of the 1990's, and holds up incredibly well almost a quarter-century after its release.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
It's a fun film. Not a thinking film ... just plain fun. We get to see Ahnuld the action cop and Ahnuld the sentimental sap. He once again gets to interact with little people be they kindergarten kids or the diminutive principal wonderfully played by Helen Hunt. His partner is played by Pamela Reed and she is one of the best characters ever. Funny, tough, flu ridden and hungry! Penelope Ann Miller plays the love interest well.Wasn't too thrilled with some of the lines the little kids said but that may be just me. The holiday presentation was cute.We know the villain is a bad guy just by seeing his long greasy ponytail. His mother is played by Carroll Baker and is a great rival to Angela Lansbury's Manchurian Candidate mother-from-Hades. Have some spare minutes ? They would be well spent checking this one out. It's funny. It's suspenseful. It's not a total waste of time ! What more can you ask of an Ahnuld little movie ?
