Kindergarten Cop - 5 stars out of 5 stars

Perhaps the best time to review this film is the day after such unspeakable horror as occurred in Connecticut  yesterday.Laughter is hope and sometimes a cure.

 Ivan Reitman directed this 1990 release that runs 111 minutes that I can find NO fault with.Having been married to someone with "early childhood education" experience I can assure you, this is NOT the way kindergarten is taught nor should it be.People its a movie,fantasy that leaves you with this message.Children are the key to happiness.
You see the film starts as a violent cop film and ends as a love,family,conquers and "cures"all message.Isn't THAT what we all strive to find??Arnold Schwarzenegger as Detective John Kimble in perhaps his finest rang of acting in any of his films.Penelope Ann Miller as Joyce Palmieri / Rachel Crisp,in what also may be her best role and a under used yet still present Linda Hunt as Miss Schlowski,head a marvelous cast with a host of cute and funny child actors as the kindergarten class.Forget the cop story plot and just revel as Arnold is bullied by the kids and then wins them over as a "DI"style teacher.Its hilarious.We all can use the laughts,so watch it to forget the real horrors out there.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.  

A tough cop is given his most difficult assignment: masquerade as a a kindergarten teacher in order to find a drug dealer.
