Synopsis: A tough cop is given his most difficult assignment ever: to masquerade as a kindergarten teacher in order to find a drug dealer.
Reaction: It's not Schwarzenegger's finest movie, but it's fun to see the fish-out-of-water elements of the giant, tough cop in charge of a class of kindergarteners.
Personal Rating: 6/10 |
