bensonmum2 John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a cop assigned to put a killer named Crisp behind bars for good. To do so, Kimble needs to find Crisp's son and ex-wife. All he knows for certain is the name of the small Oregon town where the live and that the boy is kindergarten age. Kimble goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher to try to find the boy. Even though he's a tough cop on a mission, Kimble realizes, to his amazement, that he enjoys teaching the kids. He also finds a love interest in one of the other teachers, Joyce (Penelope Ann Miller) - a single mother whose son is in Kimble's class. And, as luck would have it, Kimble discovers that Joyce is Crisp's ex-wife. How convenient! Kimble will have to act fact, though, because Crisp is on his way to collect his son.For the most part, Kindergarten Cop is an enjoyable movie. Schwarzenegger seems naturally unnatural around the kids, but that works in the film's favor. Kimble should be awkward around his class. There are a number of humorous interactions between the un-humorous Kimble and the kids - my favorite being his reaction to the kid obsessed with death. Good stuff. As awkward as Schwarzenegger is around the children, it's the exact opposite when it comes to his co-star, Miller. There's a nice chemistry between the two that really shows on-screen. I would have loved to see the pair make more movies together. Another plus for kindergarten cop is Pamela Reed playing Kimble's partner. Reed is always good and gives a solid performance here. Throw in some nice action toward the film's conclusion and Kindergarten Cop ends up being a nice experience. I do, however, have two complaints. First, the film is too long. I really think that if just 10 to 15 minutes were cut from the runtime, it would be a better, tighter movie. Cut the scenes with Cathy Moriarty, for example. They add zilch to the final product. Second, baddie Crisp and his mother aren't threatening enough. They're jokes. Had the pair been played with a more menacing tone, the final showdown would have been even better. Still, it's a solid film as is.

powermandan Kindergarten Cop has always been a movie best left on TV. It is not good enough to spend money on, but I'm not going to tell you to skip it. But it is definitely worth watching. This is one of the binds that the movie finds itself in.In one of Arnie's best roles he plays his usual macho self with a hard edge who is any criminal's worst nightmare. The best part about him playing these roles is that he knows exactly how to play them so that the audience can have fun but still take him seriously. His name is detective John Kimble and he is pretty similar to Stallone in Cobra. But Kimble and Kindergarten Cop are both better. (In my opinion at least)Kimble has been hot on the trail of drug dealer Cullen Crisp and Kimble's greatness as a cop is finally bringing that case into a close. Crisp is a typical 90's bad who has long hair, wears a suit, looks innocent, and is always strapped. The only bit that could put Crisp away for good is the testimony of his ex-wife Rachel who lives in Astoria and has a young son. She either embezzled $3 million or witnessed him taking all that, or whatever, it is pretty complex. She fled and now assumed a new identity as a teacher in Oregon. Kimble's partner for the case is former teacher Phoebe O'Hara (Pamela Reed) who will go undercover as a kindergarten teacher to find her son, while John works on the case from the outside. Before she can go in, she gets hit with brutal food poisoning, leaving Kimble to take her place. Can he handle it?So far the movie is like a regular Arnold action film from this period. It is gritty and brutal like his others. Problem is, the movie doesn't quite juggle the realistic grittiness with the charm of the youngsters.Kimble's time teaching is hilarious. He can't handle the mischief of the students which gets the audience roaring. I just wished that there were more actually belly-laughs like it could have had. Instead, we mostly get charmed with smile on our faces. There is even a romance worked into it that has him falling for a fellow teacher (Penelope Ann Miller) whose son Dominic is in Kimble's class. I always liked it. Not much of a problem is set up with this serious subplot, it is the unnecessary other serious subplots added too. Kimble thinks that the kid with the answers is an abused boy named Zack. It is very heartbreaking. When Crisp returns, he turns the entire school into a war zone, which is pretty intense for kids. Don't get me wrong, it was fun. But the movie didn't seem where it wanted to go in terms of style.Kindergarten Cop does feature some hilarious bits. But it does not live up to its full potential as a comedy. Snotty-nosed children with a hard-nosed cop sounds like a recipe for laughter. But the movie wants to capture the realistic grittiness of fighting off psychotic drug lords. Why not just do what any other movie would have done and water down the serious aspect? That would have made more room for the laughter and the entire movie experience that much more pleasant. Could the movie have worked better with another director? Perhaps. Instead we a get a fun movie that doesn't seem to know if it wants to be a serious action piece or a cute family film. We all want the latter.

blackmamba99971 If you ever wanted to see Arnie lose his sanity during his duty as a policeman, this is it. Kindergarten cop... about a seasoned policeman who must hunt down a known criminal that has been slipping through the cracks of the system, which leads Mister Kimball (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to a quaint small town where the girlfriend of known criminal resides. Taking it upon himself Kimball decides to become a teacher under cover for the simple reason that one of his students is the son of the woman he is seeking played by Penelope Ann Miller. In the middle is his partner Phoebe (Pamela Reed) who keeps his identity under wraps until it is time to take down their prey Crisp (Richard Tyson).The laughs start the moment the movie starts when Arnie tries to cope with his gang of misfit students who for the most part are more dangerous than some of the highly notorious criminal underground put together. It's just like his partner says... 'Once they have you, you are theirs for keeps.' When watching, a person can appreciate on how most if not all teachers try to keep their sanity in check when dealing with their students on a daily basis. This wonderful tale of taking down a bad guy amidst a battlefield of innocent but deadly kids was amusing in every way. To see Arnie break down to nothing more than a worn out husk makes one think of why he is so used to just using his fists, and a big gun to catching his prey.That not all heroes can rely on just brute force for their goal, only to realize that there is more to his job than meets the eye. What was so amazing too was that even after he took down Crisp Kimball decides to keep teaching his brood in order for his insane life to achieve some semblance of order with the help of Dominic (played by the Cousin twins), and his mother Joyce (Penelope). It is a great story with a generic theme of bad versus good, but with a knock out plot of tossing in some highly charged kindergarten students to make his life just a bit more interesting.For police fans this is one of the more different themes but you will enjoy the story as it unfolds. You'll laugh, you'll cry and even root for Dominic when he tries to escape his father's (crisp's) strangle hold as the worst father of the year. Highly recommended to all ages for great fun, laughs, action, and love story combined.
