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.

In Kindergarten Cop, he plays off the Schwarzenegger image more gleefully and successfully than ever before.

Fans of Schwarzenegger's more violent pictures will probably be put off by the film's inherent case of the 'cutes.' Parents will no doubt be very put off by the violence and dark themes.

Watching the kids subdue Ah-Nuld is funny, but much of the film is wildly inconsistent.

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.

[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.

It's not a tumor--it's nice Ah-nold.

With a heart of purest mush, Kindergarten Cop still manages to be generally entertaining.
