This undemanding picture proves that Arnold Schwarzenegger can do comedy, providing he doesn't try too hard. As the cop forced to teach toddlers while searching for a crook's missing son, Arnie is at his best jousting with the little tykes (surprisingly few of whom have gone on to become major child stars). The romance with Penelope Ann Miller is less convincing, but not over-intrusive. Richard Tyson and Carroll Baker make almost pantomime baddies, but this isn't really a children's film and parents should keep the channel-changer handy for the more violent bits.
Plot Summary
Action comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as tough Los Angeles cop John Kimble, who's facing the greatest challenge of his career - going undercover as a kindergarten teacher to track down the family of a vicious mobster.
