Kindergarten cop 2 reveiw1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() I think it is obvious that Schwarzenegger is the big star of the film and carries it on his back with panache and competence. Things, however, improve a lot from then on, with the troubles he goes through with the children and the romantic subplot, which is cliché but is well articulated with the rest of the story. The film starts out somewhat confusedly, and I felt that the story behind that policeman going to kindergarten was really very poorly written, as if the script just needed an excuse to put him there and explain his presence in that environment. ![]() This film can match "Junior" and "Twins", making up a trio of quality comedies that Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in during the Nineties, under the direction of Ivan Reitman, and that helped him get out of the action roles and acquire versatility as an actor. Overall, not a comedy classic, but it works far better than it should have done. The characters could have easily been stereotypical and unlikeable, but they aren't, instead they have a certain warmth to them, and this is including the kids.

Kindergarten Cop is not Arnold Schwarznegger's best film, but it does show that he can do comedy, and here he does do it well. It was funny, it was poignant and it was well-meaning, while there is also a heart-warming story, good direction and pacing and the action while sometimes intense is well-handled. However, the film does look lovely, and the score and soundtrack gives it its heart-warming sentiment. Kindergarten Cop is a little overlong and the villains are perhaps a little too pantomime. I was not expecting it to work, and it worked so much better than I expected it to. ![]() Kindergarten Cop was a surprisingly good film. ![]()
