I have a weakness for this comedy starring Arnold. The beginning in L.A. is excellent and the first half in the kindergarten is also fine. Toward the end the story starts to get boring in places, but still bearable. But the main thing is that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the only actor who didn’t embarrass himself terribly in this “strongman and kids" sub-genre.

The words of a classic: "He has no talent!!!" Unfortunately, Arnie needed several experimental comedy films to find this out. What's the point if Kindergarten Cop is one of the better ones, when a) it's not funny, b) it's so stupid that it's terrible? Arnie is an incredibly wooden actor and, in contrast to the children, this fact stands out very clearly. The screenplay doesn't save it, so hopefully the craftsman Reitman can avert total embarrassment...

I simply like Arnold, whether he's in an action movie or in a film that's more on the comedic side. I enjoyed Kindergarten Cop as a child, and I can still say I like it even now, despite not being a child anymore. There are still scenes here that are entertaining and that really captivate me.
