Reviews for Kindergarten Cop
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.
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.
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.
