The film won a huge number of awards including an Oscar for Emma Thompson's Screenplay. Emma was also nominated for the Best Actress in a leading role Oscar.

Answer: Kindergarten Cop

Arnold is actually an undercover cop trying to trace the wife of a notorious criminal in this film. His character is a substitute teacher in a kindergarten. Trained teachers have a hard job controlling a class of 5 year olds. Somehow, Arnold's police training missed that somewhere along the line.
