From The Terminator series to Escape Plan, we have often seen Arnold play the muscular tough guy in movies. However, in this action-comedy film, we can see Arnold out of his element as he substitutes his action brio with some proficient comedy acting. Interestingly, Arnold Schwarzenegger had a few conditions before accepting the role of Kimble. He wanted a physical fitness theme for the film and Ivan Reitman as the director. He and Reitman also wanted broken homes and family themes in the script.

This is the second time Arnold Schwarzenegger teamed up with Director Ivan Reitman after their first box office gold Twins. Familiar faces like Richard Tyson and Penelope Ann Miller are also there in the movie.

In the movie, Arnold plays John Kemble, a Los Angeles police detective posing as a kindergarten teacher. It is hysterical as Kimble struggles to teach a class full of hyperactive 6-year-olds. With a simple plot and light humor, the movie is surely worth the watch.

The movie is hilarious without being crude and intense without steering towards melodrama. Also, the cute performance of the kids is likely to stay with you even after the movie. Aside from Arnold, the movie also features Richard Tyson, Pamela Reeds, Penelope Ann Miller, Penelope Ann Miller, among others.
