Kindergarten Cop

A very fun comedy with some cool action scenes too. The 1990's had the best films. Schwarzenegger was at the top of his game and branching into comedy. A nice blend ofd of both. Directed by Ivan Reitman a comedy great. Worth the 4k upgrade. A must have for the Arnold fan. Excellent cast all around.

This movie was very good and interesting

Cute movie... one of our favorite lines is when Arnold says 'it's not a tumor!"

Although this wonderfully silly comedy is a bit dated, it's still worth a watch. Even though the premise is a bit sketchy by today's standards, it's an engaging story with plenty of laughs and good actors. The basic plot: A tough LA cop has been trying to catch a drug dealer and murderer for years and when he discovers the location of the bad guy's estranged wife (who supposedly stole $3 million from her hubby) & son, he goes there to try and find them and solicit testimony to put the bag guy/her hubby away. He has to pose as a kindergarten teacher, b/c his partner (who was supposed to do that) gets sick. Hilarity ensues and he finds the wife & son, but falls for the wife and has to protect them from the bag guy/hubby, who has also discovered where they are. The best scenes are, by far, those Arnold shares with the children. He was fairly young himself when this movie was made and that adds to the film; he's clearly at sea when it comes to dealing with all those little kids. Penelope Ann Miller is very nice as the estranged wife; Pamela Reed is very good as Arnold's partner (and a great comic foil); and Linda Hunt as the school principal is, as always, great. Carrol Baker (of Baby Doll fame) brings a heavy presence (and lots of creepiness) as the bad guy's mom.

I'm glad I got the DVD. This is a classic from the '80's, and for less the six bucks, why not :)

So I'm watching KINDERGARTEN COP in a bit of a stupor because the remote control is too far for me to reach when I suddenly realize something amazing: This movie is fantastic. In the calculus of Hollywood dreck, KINDERGARTEN COP doesn't add up. Take 1 muscle-bound action hero, a dozen too-cute kids and a plot so contrived it makes an episode of any television sit-com look downright plausible and you should have a mess fit only for release straight to video in Third World nations--do not pass "Go" (or your local metroplex) or collect $200. In fact, I would love to meet both the person who pitched this idea and the studio head who gave it the green light: Pitchman: "Imagine MARY POPPINS without the namby-pamby animation and music and twice the butt-kicking! Oh, and instead of Dick Van Dyke faking a British accent we'll have Arnold Schwarzenegger faking intelligible dialog!" Studio Exec: "I love it! Here's umpteen million dollars to get it made!" And the freakin' movie works! It really does. The script is filled with some great lines (My favorite, of course: "It's not a tumor!"), sweet characters and some low-key acting from the principles that keeps the story from becoming maudlin. This is one of maybe three movies I can think of that I would be comfortable watching with my parents, minor relatives or beer-drinking buddies. (Coincidentally, another one of the three is GHOSTBUSTERS, also an Ivan Reitman flick.) It has bloodless action, quotable lines and an ending that is satisfying. It just shouldn't exist. Maybe the fact that it does exist proves the William Goldman line about Hollywood: "Nobody knows nothing." Take some advice from your Uncle Guy: If you're stuck with the kids or a date you don't know and you need to sit at home and watch a movie, put in KINDERGARTEN COP. You won't be disappointed, and you just might like it. And this advice comes from a big curmudgeon.

Excellent transfer. Get this now!

Will recommend to others

Viene con idiima en español. Es una peli sencilla y divertida apta para todos los públicos. A mí me gusta.

One of my all time favorite movies (even had it on VHS)! It's still a fantastic movie all these years later! The kids are so cute and funny and it's just a great story from start to finish! Not a dull moment! Excellent blu ray picture, I find that any Kino Lorber movies I get are a fantastic clear picture with great sound! Happy with this purchase!

Spijtig genoeg niet alleen op een dvd speler gaat dat het weer om dvd via de laptop gaat maar werkt wel goed

Love this film.

Soy fan del clásico de los años 90's "Kindergarten Cop" o en español "Un Detective En El Kinder", y cuando supe que Shout Factory la había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD, la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie, viene con el Slipcover de colección con la portada original de Cines. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, lo mejor es que la conseguí a un gran precio por las ofertas del Hot Sale 2024, y el único inconveniente es que solo trae subtitulos en inglés nada de español.
