Summary: Don't Do It
Review: Don't rent it, don't watch it, don't borrow it from the library, and most of all don't buy it. I can't think of any reason why this movie was made. Hopefully someone was able to make a mortgage payment, but that is the only upside I can hope for.I loved the original Croc Dundee. I thought it was witty, and warm, and a lot of fun. I thought the 2 leads had amazing chemistry. They have NO chemistry is this movie. NONE. They were barely in any scenes together, which is a shame. It's almost as if they are in two separate movies that intersect every now and then. THe story is so contrived- she has to help her Father out- they come to LA (no- I can't beleive they live in Walkabout Creek full time), she gets enmeshed in a story, Mick yet again saves her by getting to the route of the problem, blah, blah, blah. What happened to the strong female character from the first movie? What happened to laughs? I saw nothing cute, charming, or other in this movie.

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: DVD excellent color and sharpness. Just viewed it recently and it was much better than I had expected. First 2 in the series were quite good also, meaning Crocidile Dundee joins a rare breed where all 3 of the triology films ended up excellent. For example BACK TO THE FUTURE managed that, however of course is not yet available on DVD, and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK(also no DVD) could have done it except for the subpar TEMPLE OF DOOM, the 2nd movie right before the amazing INDIANA JONES. The writing on DUNDEE L.A. was excellent with some very funny material. One minor flaw in light of its Family movie class, would be to have changed the unwed status of the couple to some kind of Aborigine/outback type hookup maybe with flashbacks to some kind of ceremony before the child was born and to have used that as the film's beginning marriage status - then they could ended it with traditional western marriage. That way it wouldn't look like the standard Hollywood shackup type situation so common in liberal Hollywoood scripts. Wish they could do 3 more films like this, this Mick Dundee is a great character.

Summary: Utterly forgettable: what movie am I reviewing again?
Review: Hopefully, Crocodile Dundee In L.A. is not Paul Hogan's swan song for the Dundee series. Paul's previous films to this name are much more inspired in plot, montage, and acting. In this film, Hogan seems to be along for the ride, and for this I blame the direction and screenwriting which is listless and dull. Mind you, CD in LA is not a bad film by any means, nor is it memorable. But there is a sense that Hollywood is merely attempting to cash in on the Dundee character and not use Hogan as the charming, affible actor that he is. Alas, poor Paul Hogan, I knew him well, and miss him in this film. Was it to pay for Linda Kozlowski's plastic surgery, or has Paul Hogan truly lost his bearings in a foreign land? The setting of Los Angeles must have been a dream come true for the Studio execs who signed off on the funding for the film, and the Aussie actors seem to enjoy themselves well enough in the city of Angels. Yet, the jokes, and the humor in Southern California lifestyle is tired. Zzzzzz. Wait for the next film in the series. Hopefully ole' Lightning Jack will be back in his true form by then.

Summary: An Excellent Wholesome Comedy Adventure
Review: I actually liked this better than the first two films. I had to drag my daughter to the theatre to see this with me. Both of ended up laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt the next day. You might say that Paul Hogan has his own brand of sophisticated humor. Sophisticated may sound like an odd word to describe his Outback brand of slapstick but it really is! Crocodile Dundee is such a slick character that you don't know when you're really being put on or not. This film is great fun. There is never a dull moment. The secret here is that the plot does not take itself serious at all. There are scenes that are just plain dumb but they work so well. I think we are all getting tired of the fast paced slam bang rapid fire so-called sophisticated humor, that this film is a welcome return to go old fashioned homespun grassroots comedy. It even has a great score by Basil Poledouris. Highly recommended.

Summary: Just as good as the other 2.
Review: I don't know why this film wasn't much bigger than it was, it's every bit as good as the other films were. Paul Hogan is great as ever as Dundee and the fish out of water story still works as well as it ever did. The movie won't win any Oscars, but it's not supposed to be a "powerful portrait of the corruption of the film industry." It's only supposed to make you laugh, and if it's laughs you want, it more than delivers!

Summary: He's back!
Review: I have loved the movies since i first seen the Orignals, they are wonderful movies for all ages, sure it's not the greatest movie of all time but it's a fish out of water type movie and i love that. Any fan of the old movies will want to see this many times and i can't wait for the dvd so i can watch it over and over.
