The original was a high concept, because it had the biggest action star against toddlers who would utter the names of female appendages without a moments notice.
The plot played second fiddle to Arnie Screaming at the children, and eventually bonding with them.....it was hilarious when I was fourteen.
Forward 25 years, and some bright spark has decided to make a sequel, or what I like to call, put all the bits that were memorable from the first movie, put them in the narrative of this one, and see what happens.
It's a clever move, because the people who enjoyed the film back then, have children, and I'm guessing its a safe bet, as it's nothing more than a carbon copy.
The plot, if you would call it one, involves grizzled FBI agent Lundgren pretending to be a Kindergarten teacher to find a flash drive that could potentially put a very naughty gangster away for a long time.
And it's your basic formulaic rehash. He's a loner who lives by water who exercises outside, the children are both lovable and slappable at the same time. And to begging with, they run rings around him........quite literally.
Then we have a young boy say the female appendage without warning, a girl needs to pee, and instead of a ferret, there's a stalking pig.
And we even have a repeat of the after who could be abusing his daughter. But instead of Arnie beating ten bells out of him, Lundgren says he will ask around for a job.
Oh the sharing, caring, noughties.
But it's not the disaster you would expect it to be.
Lundgren puts in a decent performance, his partner has the funniest line in the film regarding ethnicity and being shot first.
And it all finishes with a big smile on everybody's face, and the comedy fat man getting a taser to the nether regions.
It's not going to win any awards, but it's clever enough not to try and be anything different to the original.
Can't wait for the sequel to Junior starring Steven Seagal called Junior too.
At least they'd save money on a fat suit....
