Summary: Mick "Crocodile" Dundee first visits the Big City
Review: "Crocodile Dundee" is the entertaining 1986 film that made Paul Hogan, the Australian television star whose tourism commercials for the country that is a continent introduced Americans to the idea of throwing another shrimp on the barbie. This movie follows "the innocent abroad" tradition, in which a naive person from a distant land (or planet) arrives in the big city and experiences the foibles of modern civilization through saner eyes. Besides the Australian accent, the twist is that Mick "Crocodile" Dundee can more than hold his own against the pimps, muggers, and fiances that would make lesser mortals back down or run away. The premise is that New York City reporter Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) goes Down Under to interview the colorful crocodile poacher who lives out in the outback. He shows her the lay of the land and does a few impressive things, including saving her life, and turns out to be as colorful as anyone could hope. She then decides to bring him back to NYC and unleash him on the unsuspecting population. The New York sequence is where all of the good bits in the film come and Hogan's easy charm and sense of comic timing makes almost all of the bits work. It is hard not to like Mick Dundee and it is not surprising that a romance pops up between him and the reporter. The only problem is that the on-screen chemistry between the two leads is the weakest part of the film. Yes, I know that Hogan divorced his wife and that in 1990 he married Kozlowski, but whatever was happening off-camera did not translate onto the screen, which is not unusual: just think about "Bennifer." It can be done, if you are Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, but all of the warmth and charm in the Hogan and Kozlowski pairing is on his side of the equation. The result is that the final scene of the film is rather unsatisfying, even with the incessant drumming music reminding us this is dramatic. We are supposed to be caught up in Mick and Sue, but it is the two guys on the subway platform who steal the scene. Still, "Crocodile Dundee" is an entertaining film about a big kid in a bid city (with a big knife) whose reputation would be slightly more enhanced if it had not spawned a couple of sequels, which deluted the charm of the original. Going back to the outback or putting Mick Dundee in Los Angeles instead of New York is enjoyable, but it is just more of the same and there is never quite as good the second time around.

Summary: Very entertaining movie.
Review: Paul Hogan (Lightening Jack, Flipper) stars as Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, a crocodile hunter. Wealthy reporter Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski, Favorite Son, Almost and Angel) meets him during an excursion into the Australian Outback. Dundee accepts Sue's invitation to return to New York City with her. He soon finds that New York life is much different than the life he is used to. Not only must he learn to acclimatize himself with the new surroundings and deal with the jealous boyfriend of Sue Charlton. There are so many excellent 'fish out of water' scenes from this film; too many to list in one review. This movie is very charming in its simplicity. It isn't full of confusing and complicated twists and turns at every angle, doesn't have several different subplots to keep up with and isn't full of murky characters that really have no purpose other than to take up a frame. It is a simple romantic comedy that is very much worth the time spent viewing it.

Summary: Classic comedy
Review: A phenomenal box office hit when first released, "Crocodile Dundee" follows the exploits of a trapper from the Australian outback who meets a big city journalist when she travels to Australia to meet him. Raised by aboriginal people, Dundee grabs snakes and crocodiles with his bare hands. He's a legend in the Outback, and inevitably, he falls in love with the reporter covering him. When he accompanies her back to New York City, the real fun begins as Dundee encounters street muggers, drag queens, and lavish hotel rooms. A delightful and timeless comedy.

Summary: Very slow
Review: Crocodile Dundee did not thrill me in any way. I expected belly laughs coming into this movie, and I definitely got none of that. The film started off incredibly slow. I did not laugh at all I think for the first hour. But, when they got to New York, it got better. Paul Hogan is a great actor and was perfect for this role. But, I think the script is what tanked the movie. I don't understand what the big deal is about Crocodile Dundee. I just felt that the "jokes" were the same ole thing. They could have expanded the scenes where Hogan is learning stuff about the real world. Those are the only parts that kept this movie afloat. Overall, Crocodile Dundee is a much over-rated movie that disappointed me greatly. 2 Stars

Summary: I'm Happy The DVD is Widescreen and NOT Pan and Scan!
Review: Crocodile Dundee is a good movie with comedy and action and adventure and just highly entertaining and highly recommended! I can't believe that a reviewer is unhappy that the DVD is widescreen and not pan and scan? How could anyone prefer to watch this movie edited and chopped? I'm very happy the DVD shows the movie in it's correct widescreen and not that chopped up pan and scan fake full screen.
