Arnie has to work at a kindergarden school when he is really a play it tough cop, that is this film in a nutshell. watch as the kids make mincemeat out of him at first until he warms to them like a big softy and becomes a good kindergrden teacher.

One to watch with the misses!!!!!

This Sporting Life: What Happens When Sports Heroes Act Up? Eric Cantona and Ken Loach. These are not names you would immediately put together. One is a multi-millionaire (surely?) ex footballer, revered by millons of fans; and French. The other is a proud socialist from middle-England (Nuneaton), who has rejected the big money offers; his films are admired but by a relatively small number of committed film buffs. What's more, Ken Loach is a dedicated supporter of Bath FC. I'm guessing there... Read more
