59. Kindergarten Cop (1990)

January 30, 2014

"We're going to play a wonderful game called... 'Who is my daddy and what does he do?'" Kindergarten Cop is such a fun movie. If you haven't seen it, you really should. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (back when he used to make entertaining movies) as Detective Kimble, trying to chase down a drug dealing murderer named Crisp who is looking for his ex-wife and son. When his partner (who was supposed to go undercover as Crisp's son's kindergarten teacher) gets sick, Kimble has to try to act like a kindergarten teacher, and he is clearly a fish out of water. He knows how to deal with gangsters and killers and thieves but he doesn't have a clue how to take care of little kids. He ends up using his police training as a method of teaching and actually gets the kids in line, proving he is an effective teacher. Kimble also falls in love with the teacher across the hall (Penelope Ann Miller) who just so happens to be Crisp's ex. Crisp eventually tracks them down and causes a pretty intense scene in the school, but of course Kimble is there to save the day. This is a very fun movie that is surprisingly quotable...
