 3/4 |
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. Full Review |

A mish-mash of violence, psycho-drama and lukewarm kiddie comedy. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
With a heart of purest mush, Kindergarten Cop still manages to be generally entertaining. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

3/5 |
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. Full Review |

2/5 |
Watching the kids subdue Ah-Nuld is funny, but much of the film is wildly inconsistent.

2.5/4 |
A nice, funny, lightweight, non-filling, entertaining film, perfect for the holiday season. Full Review |
