Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This winning 1990 comedy stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in an initially self-deprecating role as a grizzled, big-city cop who goes undercover as a small-town kindergarten teacher to nab a killer. One of the best films of director Ivan Reitman (Dave), this comedy (with some thriller elements) went a long way to further soften and broaden Schwarzenegger's image after Reitman worked with him in the gentle Twins. But Kindergarten Cop is genuinely touching, the story of a hard man who visibly finds his true passion and soul by leaving behind the rot of urban crime. Penelope Ann Miller is a delight as the love interest, Pamela Reed is wonderful as Arnold's cop partner, old pro Carroll Baker is quite nasty as the villain's evil mother, and Linda Hunt--whose diminutive stature makes for quite a contrast with Schwarzenegger when they share scenes--is entertaining as a tough principal. Upon its release, some people assumed the title meant this is a good movie for little kids, but it isn't. The DVD release features production notes, biographies, highlights, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, full-screen presentation, and optional French and Spanish soundtracks. --Tom Keogh

- Absolutely delightful film...successful blend of different genres
Crime drama, romance, comedy, CUTE kids (the comedic and cute kids elements often blended together in a *kids say the darndest things* format) - all of these parts make up a satisfying and sweet-natured film! Loved it.

- Love this movie!
Great movie! Some of the acting is a little cheesy (early Schwarzenegger), but overall clean, funny, and good for the whole family. Saw this movie when I was younger, and have looked for it in movie stores with no luck. But Amazon has it for a good price on their site.

- Kindergarten Cop
We ordered this movie to show our 5 yr old granddaughter. The reason was to show her how to react to strangers. It did help her to understand what we were getting at. Do not go with people she didn't know or feel safe about, and to let those around her know things weren't right. MAKE A LOAD NOISE YELL "STRANGER"

- the cops are coming... to a TV screen near you
Back in the early to mid 90's, family films such as this one were extremely popular. Everyone seemed to love them, too. Of course, as time goes on, people eventually get an urge for something different, and that's exactly what happened. However, looking back, Kindergarten Cop is easily a very pleasant film that holds up nicely, mostly because it's just a simple straight-forward family movie with a nice and easy storyline. You can easily follow along without getting annoyed at any difficult-to ... Read More

- When Arnold is a kindergarten teacher kids will be illiterate but at least they'll have ripped muscle mass
Good morning how are you? This is us, Sid the Elf. How are you? First, we would just like to review this documentary about a time in Arnold Schwarzenegger's life when he decided to be an undercover cop and a kindergarten teacher at the same time. Thus, the documentary is entitled Kindergarten Cop. This film gives us some possible insight as to why Arnold can barley speak. Not once during the film did he teach his students academics. Instead, he focused on sit-ups, propper technique for lat pull-downs, ... Read More
