Reviews
Actually fairly entertaining, buoyed by Schwarzenegger's self-deprecating charm and easy chemistry with his capable costar, Pamela Reed, and the hammiest bunch of tykes ever assembled for a movie.
A mish-mash of violence, psycho-drama and lukewarm kiddie comedy.
With a heart of purest mush, Kindergarten Cop still manages to be generally entertaining.
If Reitman's film gets closer than most to covering the bases, there remain huge gaps in plausibility and a romantic subplot any ten-year-old could tell you is just plain icky.
Surrounding Arnold with the giddy kiddies is a shameless, gimmicky stunt. But what the heck...Reitman's actioner still works as a zesty vehicle for The Muscled One.
Ahnold's best foray into comedy territory ... for whatever that's worth.
In Kindergarten Cop, he plays off the Schwarzenegger image more gleefully and successfully than ever before.
Watching the kids subdue Ah-Nuld is funny, but much of the film is wildly inconsistent.
A nice, funny, lightweight, non-filling, entertaining film, perfect for the holiday season.
