Kindergarten Cop

If Twins was a suggestion that Schwarzenegger can do comedy, then Kindergarten Cop is explicit proof. He goes from perp-busting to completely out of his depth in a classroom full of kids . . . And it feels like a natural move; nothing forced about it. Credit here to Ivan Reitman who knows what he's doing, but also to Arnold's chemistry with the tiny terrors; it is charming as hell. The surprise here is Pamela Reed, who holds her own as the staryu's unlikely partner, and has some of the script's best lines. This is a heartfelt comedy with appeal for young and old alike; an expert use of a movie star's towering stature.

One of Arnold's best film roles ever. After seeing this, you might say to yourself that he could have stuck in out in films before becoming the governor of California. In this very funny film Arnold is forced to go under cover as a kindergarten teacher. He is actually looking for a drug dealer and believes that one of the kids in his class is the son of the guilty culprit. Naturally, he gets more than he beckoned for. There is romance with a female parent that brings unexpected results. Then, there is the matter of teaching. He is in a school with a maiden principal played memorably by Linda Hunt. She knows why he is there but expects him to be a 100% teacher at all times. How he maintains order and does teaching to the bargain is hilarious and simply rewarding to the teaching profession. A must see film for young and old. I guarantee that the school system was never like this.

This film seems to be looked down upon but I think it's main "flaw" - Arnold Schwarzenegger not doing great in a comedy - is actually its main advantage. His physique and personality simply stick out so much in this setting and it's hilarious.

A neat blend of rom-com, cop movie, and feel good story-Arnold Schwarzenegger goes for the trifecta in this classic. This gruff, violent, no-holds-barred cop named John Kimble has to transform his physical image and his personality in order to find the wife of a known drug dealer. His pursuit leads him to a kindergarten class in Astoria, Oregon where the tough and scary gives way to the cute and cuddly. Not that this could have really happened it still made for a fun and sometimes funny movie. The kids were the real comedy because I've never found Schwarzenegger really funny. The movie ranged from edgy, to funny, to romantic, to cute and it displayed each adequately.
