To me, this is an easy to understand film, of course it's for children; however, it helps me a lot when i worked as an bus volunteer for kindergarten and primary children; well i used some references from this movie and it actually worked. It makes me smile a lot when watching this kind of movie, my brain doesn't have to think or guess anything ;) such a simple person i am :D

People judge (music, films, other people...) according to very strict, redundant criteria. There are very often way overrated films, films that aren't really special but that do fit the general consensus and criteria, or simply, the 'demand'.But a lot more rare, are the underrated films such as this one. It's mainstream enough, the humor, the acting standard enough. It's got a highly recognizable face and lead character stereotype that America usually adores, a simple enough plot and development with morals, cute children and family values at the center of it... and to be honest, it does a pretty darn good job at what it sets out to do.In a way, it's much better than what it "should've been".And yet, the fan average barely scrapes over the 6/10 mark and the critics are just as snobby towards it but that's to be expected.'Arnie' is charming and unintentionally/intentionally hilarious as ever, the film has simply monumentally cult quotes, it's fast, cute, fun, funny, and of course it's got that bit of hollow flavor towards the end where great movies usually shine most, but it's absolutely tolerable when we're given such a genuinely entertaining ride prior.A well earned 7/10. Certainly underrated.

We are used to seeing Arnie in fast-action, violent films with lots of killing and blood, like 'Terminator' and 'Predator' where he hardly says anything apart from "I'll be back!". Therefore it is quite a surprise that here we see him playing a tough cop-turned-Kindergarten-teacher and you may not think that he would be much good in that type role, because i know i certainly did and i started watching it rather skeptically. However, i couldn't have been more wrong. Arnie plays the role amazingly and i couldn't really imagine anyone else playing the giant school teacher. The cast are great, it has a real feel-good vibe to it, and the chemistry between the star and the children is spot on. The story is basically about a tough cop who has to go undercover as a Kindergarten teacher to find the wife and son of an elusive criminal. Then he must persuade he to give evidence to convict her ex-husband and get him 'sent down' for a long long time."Kindergarten Cop" is nothing less than great entertainment. It captures the very essence of the simple, feel-good story, here blended together with a bit of action and an edge that works surprising well against the comedy; nearly as well as the juxtaposition that is "bodybuilder teaches kindergarten." It's great fun, one of the most quotable films of the 1990's, and holds up incredibly well almost a quarter-century after its release.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

It's a fun film. Not a thinking film ... just plain fun. We get to see Ahnuld the action cop and Ahnuld the sentimental sap. He once again gets to interact with little people be they kindergarten kids or the diminutive principal wonderfully played by Helen Hunt. His partner is played by Pamela Reed and she is one of the best characters ever. Funny, tough, flu ridden and hungry! Penelope Ann Miller plays the love interest well.Wasn't too thrilled with some of the lines the little kids said but that may be just me. The holiday presentation was cute.We know the villain is a bad guy just by seeing his long greasy ponytail. His mother is played by Carroll Baker and is a great rival to Angela Lansbury's Manchurian Candidate mother-from-Hades. Have some spare minutes ? They would be well spent checking this one out. It's funny. It's suspenseful. It's not a total waste of time ! What more can you ask of an Ahnuld little movie ?
