Arnold Schwarzenegger screams at a bunch of fucking children in a movie and it gets bad reviews? What kind of world are we living in?!! I'm giving it a 100 just to spite you all.
4	Magb	45 _13th
Kindergarten Cop exemplifies what is probably the single most annoying thing about Hollywood: the idea that if you have an even remotely interesting concept, the hard part of your job is done, and you can fill in the blanks in your script with cliches. Is simple, light-hearted entertainment really such a bad thing? No, I guess it isn't, but I reserve my right to bitch about it.
4	kubricksucks	75 _56th
oh what peter sellers in a wheelchair is funny and this isnt?!
4	Jasongirl67	60 _39th
Far from great or anything But for some reason big tough guy Arnold dealing with a bunch of bratty kindergartners made me laugh
3	BillyShears	90 _92nd
A gift from the Gods.
2	bentley82	78 _44th
How can you not like this movie at least a little. I know that everyone out there has at least quoted this movie once.
2	TheDenizen	35 _14th
This is a terrible flick packed with weak comedy and more obnoxiously cute kids than you can menacingly wave a .45 at, but it did introduce the phrase "It's not a toomah!" to our cultural lexicon.
2	Harmonica	47 _10th
As someone who used to prank call his friends with Arnie soundboards, I'm eternally grateful that this exists.
2	Kojiless	91 _94th
The best of the Schwarzenegger comedies...and quite educational, successfully informing audiences around the globe which sex has a penis, and which a vagina.
2	Ytadel	4 _43rd
Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.
2	Grit	19 _15th
While obviously a bad film from the outset, that's not to say that there aren't some entertaining scenes. As the typically robotic Schwarzenegger comes out with so many unusual pronunciations, strange little phrases and one instance of face-warping screaming the film is automatically injected with some unintentional humour making it just that little bit more watchable. It's still really poorly done though, plus those annoying pretentious American kids are only bearable for a little while.
2	Anomaly	40 _12th
Watch this movie, and then remember that Schwarzenegger was the governor of a state. You'll want to laugh and cry simultaneously.
2	Okkervil	75 _75th
If you don't think this is awesome then don't call me ever again...
1	eveelun	58 _18th
A one-note comedy that does admittedly provide some laughs with its absurd premise, but it gets old really quick and the sentimentalism is pretty awful.
1	Moribunny	15 _7th
Same old.
1	Sockman	2 _2nd
It may not be a tumor but it's not a good movie either.
1	lrampartl	87 _88th
I've seen this so many times, and it's still rewatchable. Loved it as a kid, and I love it now. Endlessly quotable. Arnold was a pro at deadpan, and this is his funniest stuff.
1	Slowking2099	88 _83rd
I'm looking at a lot of reviews, and I've got to say "what's with you people?" Kindergarten Cop is one of the finest examples of Schwartzennagearian acting I've ever seen. How can you resist 90 minutes of Arnold screaming at children? You can't. That's how.
1	twincinema	70 _53rd
I like in films where normal looking dudes have to pretend Arnie isn't some super jacked dude. Like, one guy takes a swing at him. Not a good idea.
1	MJVmovieMan	75 _67th
"Who is your daddy and what does he do?" "It's not a tumor!" "My name is John Kimble, and I love my car." Arnold's comedy-classic "Kindergarten Cop" can do no wrong.

DA GOVERNATOR
1	DVicknabb	50 _21st
A really bad movie that I find somewhat charming. What can I say, I suck.
1	gtown1479	78 _64th
Who is your daddy and what does he do? Yeah I'm a police officer. I'm Detective John Kimball. So many great lines, that I was able to use for prank phone calls in college. I don't know if I would say the movie was that great but these catchy lines help out its score.
1	Luna6ix	72 _41st
You have to have the mind or the heart of a child to enjoy this, and while I do, I just didn't enjoy it enough to care.
1	Vandelay1	58 _60th
okay movie
1	rdub384	63 _30th
This movie regained notoriety with the advent of soundboards. Those sound clips are pretty much the best parts of this movie.
1	Jeb	35 _20th
The most quotable film of Arnold's career. Sometimes funny, and somewhat entertaining. But, it's still dumb and often slow.
1	luc	75 _85th
Nice comedy with good old Schwarzenegger. Many funny one-liners like "Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina"; "Our mom says our dad is a real sex-machine" ; "My dad's a gynecologist, he looks at vaginas all day long".
1	SirStuckey	55 _28th
Schwarzenegger Effect - Any movie that is really bad, recognized as such, but is still somehow enjoyable only because Arnold Schwarzenegger is the protagonist.
1	gorejunky	80 _39th
Enjoyable effort from Arnold. The scenes with the kids were priceless and truly funny. Ending got a little bogged down but worth a watch. Decent family actioner.
1	hellboy76	62 _30th
Sort of entertaining in parts, but overall it's fairly boring and sometimes downright annoying.
1	methad1	55 _24th
"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" - classic.
1	Paxton	53 _24th
Ivan Reitman did three of Bill Murray's best movies. He did three of Arnold's worst.
1	LookJabba...	6 _41st
Kindergarten Cop is my ultimate guilty pleasure and I absolutely love this film. I've always enjoyed Arnold Schwarzenegger in comedic roles and this is definitely his funniest film. It's one of the most quotable films ever and after a countless number of viewings it still makes me laugh. I enjoyed it as a child, growing up and still now. And I can't wait to watch it with my own children. And lastly, "IT'S NOT A TUMOUR!
1	Antonio P	60 _72nd
"We're going to play a little game. Who's your daddy and what does he do." Good movie as Arnold who is a detective is trying to solve a case of a abusing father in this.
