Really Surprised!

Nice effects though.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

When people think back on the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, they will most likely strike upon his "Terminator" role, his portrayal of musclebound "Conan the Barbarian", and his penchant for shoot-em-up 1980's action flicks. However, "Kindergarten Cop" gives Arnold perhaps his most complete vehicle for showcasing all sides of his acting talent.For a basic plot summary, this movie sees undercover cop John Kimble (Arnold) become a kindergarten teacher in order to scope out baddie Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson). While teaching (or trying to, anyway!), he completely falls for a fellow teacher (Penelope Ann Miller) and forms a strong bond with her son (Joseph/Christian Cullins).What makes this movie such a classic effort is that it is so multi-dimensional. Included are...-A typical gun-toting Arnie taking the law into his own hands. -Some hilarious comedy that will have you laughing out loud on numerous occasions. -Rich, developed characters that help suck you into the well-constructed plot. -A light, more romantic side of Arnold.All these different scenarios, mixed together perfectly by director Ivan Reitman, create a film in which every scene offers something to behold. Watching Mr. Kimble struggle with his new young charges is hilarious, while scenes towards the end of the flick will have you on the edge of your seat and perhaps even in real suspense.Overall, then, I consider "K-Cop" to be perhaps the most well-rounded performance of Schwarzenegger's career...and just a darn good movie to boot! Though some scenes will be too graphic or inappropriate for the real young kiddies, this is also a film that can be enjoyed by the whole family...again, because it offers so many different genres.

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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a rough, dirty cop who is forced to go undercover as a kindergarten teacher in Astoria, Oregon, in pursuit of a mob witness.It sounds obscene, but not to despair. Arnold is his likable self, there are occasional outbursts of violence, Penelope Ann Miller has a dazzling smile, you don't get such an overdose of sentimentality that you feel you've been slimed, and it has its funny moments.A lot of the amusing stuff comes from the five-year olds, some of them disgustingly cute. But the funniest scenes of all come from Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to act. He's marvelous. He's blunt and forthright in his projections. If emotions like rage were a weight, he'd bench press them. When the anarchic kiddies are about to drive him nuts he explodes with anger and you ought to see it. His mandible juts forward, his lavender lips open in a tangled "O", and you can see every single one of his teeth, including his impacted molars, and they are all made of muscle not ivory. "ARGHHH!," roars Arnold, giving it everything he's got.At the end, the erstwhile baffled body builder learns how to take pride in helping children and leaves his rough-hewn ways back in Los Angeles to join his new-found profession. How could it be otherwise? Some of the kids really ARE cute in their artless ways. They stumble while reciting their lines, fall over toy furniture, things like that.The whole thing works in the most commercial sense. Arnold is a businessman. He and I got along very well together on our unforgettable joint project, "Raw Deal" or whatever it was called. Yes, I'd say we resonated. I glanced at him and his cigar once or twice and he glanced at my T shirt ("Walker Museum, Minneapolis") then ignored me completely. He and director Ivan Reitman are in synchrony. Neither wants to make a particularly good movie. They want to make money -- and they no doubt did.

Police detective John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is tracking stone-cold killer Cullen Crisp (Richard Tyson). He arrests him for murder. Detective Phoebe O'Hara (Pamela Reed) is assigned to be his partner. They track Cullen's ex Rachel (Penelope Ann Miller) to an Oregon kindergarten after she supposedly stole Cullen's millions and their son. O'Hara is sick and Kimble is pressed into undercover work as a substitute teacher looking for which mother is the former drug lord wife.The setup is a bit too dangerous. The basic premise is to get Arnold into a kindergarten class. That is actually a very funny premise. He is hilarious with the kids. The problem is that it's also a violent crime drama. There's no way to bridge the two disparate aspects of this movie. It works as a comedy as long as Arnold's with the kids and nobody remembers the cold blooded killers lurking out there. Once the movie touches anything serious, the movie grinds to a halt.
