Detective John Kimble is determined to take down drug lord Cullen Crisp. He travels to Astoria, Oregon to identify Crisp's son and find his ex-wife to offer immunity for her testimony. When John's partner Phoebe falls ill, he must go undercover as the kindergarten teacher and experience his most terrifying assignment. Things get off to a rocky start, but eventually John finds his footing, warms over the little monsters and accomplishes his mission, but what he didn't count on was falling in love with Cullen's ex. A fiery showdown at the school finds John and Phoebe battling Crisp and his mother. At least it wasn't at a New Jersey summer camp.
After the success of Twins (1988), Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ivan Reitman decided to team up again for more comedy gold. Kindergarten Cop was commercial success, grossing over 200 millions worldwide. Arnold Schwarzenegger continued to hone his comedic skills, particularly with his self- diagnosis of head pain. The film delivers a bundle of laughs, especially with an anatomy lesson and the quaint setting of Astoria, Oregon adds to the charm.
