Dad's Preview: This film's
wonderful premise was a perfect vehicle for the massive
Arnold Schwarzenegger, but who knew he could do comedy?
That said, it's laugh after laugh as the children turn
this tough-guy cop into a blithering idiot. It was great
to see Arnold expose his comedic side. Pamela Reed is
great as his wise-cracking partner. You also can't say
enough about the kids in the classroom. They're
adorable! |
