Kid's Police

Based on a popular TV series from the 1970-80s, the premiss for this film is simple: hit with a mystery de-aging ray, a special police squad focused on organized crime have physically reverted to children.  It's really hilarious, at first, then it's mildly humorous, then eventually it gets old.  It's a one-hit wonder - kids acting like adult, Japanese cops - and then it fades fast.  The huge holes in the plot don't help, since the action is cheesy and more appropriate for children anyway.  It's not even that weird, just kinda lame.

Why do they need cover stories?  Why do they go to school?
