Kindergarten Cop (1990)

A cop is trying to locate a drug dealer and murderer's wife, and persuade her to testify against her husband. Knowing the city she lives in, he and his female partner go there planning to place her undercover as a kindergarten teacher. Things do not go exactly as planned though.

Consistently watchable comedy. It could be shorter, it seems; some minor subplots concerning the kids at school are tedious and could be excised without harming the film. But its overall structure is interesting, and I think the screenplay handles the situations it creates with sufficient intelligence and at times even with wit.

Rating: 50
