Kindergarten Cop Trailers

Hard-edged cop John Kimble gets more than he bargained for when he goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher to get the goods on a brutal drug lord while at the same time protecting the man's young son. Pitted against a class of boisterous moppets whose antics try his patience and test his mettle, Kimble may have met his match … in more ways than one.

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
jonathanmarquez-08158 ITS NOT A TUMOr hahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahaahhaha i love this movie
foufoutos-53734 no this is not a positive message in a movie directed to children despite its violence Linda hunt may be happy with Arnold beating up a physically inferior abusive father but that's not a humane approach to the serious subject of domestic violence, the answer is not more violence the papa bear character does exactly to the abusive father what the abusive father does to his child would an intervention like this make the father less violent or more loving towards his kid in real life? Oh now i got my ass kicked, i wont beat you even harder but i understand i was wrong, Arnie's punches on my head made me see the light. That was back in 1990. Have all these movies made our society a better one, i wonder? Or are they just pure entertainment, no hidden agenda or social messages?
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.
slightlymad22 Continuing My plan to watch every movie in Arnie's filmography in order, I come to Kindergarten Cop. Plot In A a paragraph: Detective John Kimble (Arnie) is a tough cop given his most difficult assignment, to go under cover as a kindergarten teacher in order to find a drug dealer.Even bearing in mind this is a kids movie, Cullen Crisp is simply the worst bad guy to ever grace an Arnie movie. Even his over bearing mother is painful. But that's OK, because John Kimble is a cool character in the opening scene's and then the real fun in this movie is Arnie with the kids. I used to have a crush on Penelope Anne Miller in this, and she is still cute!! None of my teachers ever looked like her. Lol In his autobiography Total Recall, Arnie tells how he waited for a year to make this with Ivan Reitman (who was busy with Ghostbusters 2) and how he insisted that the script be rewrote to include broken homes, child abuse and he also wanted a physical fitness theme added too, as he was heavily involved in The Presidents Council On Physical Fitness at the time (which also explains his cameo in 1993's Kevin Klein movie Dave)The 10th highest grossing movie of 1990 with a gods of $91 million at the domestic box office. The only time Arnie had 2 movies in the top ten highest grossing movies of the year.
