Plot


Federal agent Zack Reed and his partner Sanders are pursuing a dangerous criminal leader who has discovered a copy of the FBI witness protection database. The file has been stored on a USB "flash" drive by a now-deceased kindergarten teacher. None of the staff or students know where the drive is, so Reed applies for the role of teacher to the bereaved class.

The school has a very liberal/modern perspective on teaching and managing children which is, at first, quite awkward to Reed's more straightforward ways. With some assistance from Sanders (father of five), Reed learns to lead the class in a more relational and emotionally-aware way. Reed's co-teacher in kindergarten, Olivia is an attractive single woman. Reed asks her out on a date and they begin to connect romantically.

Reed and Olivia's classes compete for a "capture the flag" competition which Reed's class wins once he explains a "trojan horse" strategy to the kids. The criminal leader, Zogu, captures the FBI surveillance van and discovers the crucial role of the children. He finds the USB drive with the children on a field trip, but they manage to surprise him with their trojan horse attack strategy.

The drive is returned to the FBI and the kids celebrate their victory with their parents.


Cast



Production


On June 1, 2015, it was reported that The Garden and Half Past Dead filmmaker Don Michael Paul would be directing the film, and Arnold Schwarzenegger would not be reprising his role as Detective John Kimble. Schwarzenegger announced that his character Detective John Kimble is now officially retired from being a kindergarten teacher and police officer.

Schwarzenegger was replaced by Dolph Lundgren as a new character, FBI Agent Zack Reed. On December 21, 2015, the 25th anniversary of the theatrical release of the original film, the first official photos of Kindergarten Cop 2 were released via About.[5]


Reception


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 29% of 7 critics' reviews are positive.[6]

Common Sense Media gave the film a score of 2 out of 5, and described it as "FBI man meets cute kids in trite comedy; violence, profanity."[7] Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound gave it a grade D+ and wrote: "Kindergarten Cop 2 ultimately resonates as nothing more than a sub-par rendition of its predecessor. The script is bad, the direction is uninspired, the villain is boring, and Lundgren can't navigate that space between comedy and action like Arnie can."[8]
