A mish-mash of violence, psycho-drama and lukewarm kiddie comedy.
In Kindergarten Cop, he plays off the Schwarzenegger image more gleefully and successfully than ever before.
hough Schwarzenegger remains to acting what ham hocks are to a cheese course, he manages against all odds to be appealing as the Austrian au pair. Think of it as To Conan With Love.
[Director Reitman's] got a way with kids, and found a remarkable ensemble of 30 antic urchins to work with, cashing in on kindergarten's comic terrain and the blurted brutal honesty of the kids.
Kindergarten Cop is made up out of parts that shouldn't fit, but somehow they do, making a slick entertainment out of the improbable, the impossible, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Terminator meets Mother Goose.
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.
Ahnold's best foray into comedy territory ... for whatever that's worth.
Ah-nold and an adorable ferret... a daffy but dandy duo.
Kid-friendly violence -- what a concept.
Holds up surprisingly well
