For this cop, patience is a virtue, and he's running out
6 November 2021
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.
