4.0 out of 5 stars Mick is back., May 18, 2001

After thirteen years in limbo, Mick "Crocodile" Dundee is back. This was a really enjoyable movie that everyone in my family enjoyed watching. The picture provides lots of laughs and the story works rather well.

Mick and the love of his life, Sue, have a son together and are living in Mick's home territory of the Australian Outback. However, a publisher at a Los Angeles newspaper that Sue's father owns suddenly dies and her father temporarily offers her the position until a permanent replacement can be found. Surprisingly, Mick agrees and they move to LA. Once there, Sue begins to investigate the sudden death of the previous publisher and Mick goes undercover at a movie studio.

The critics blasted this film, but like many of the movies they review, they are way off target. The film is funny and family oriented. The plot is more believable than many big budgeted affairs and there is very little violence and no sleaze. The only major drawback about the movie is that it has been thirteen years since the last Crocodile Dundee film. The movie fits well within the trilogy, but since it has been so long since the last movie was in theatres, much of the movie's humor is lost on the audience (there are several references to Mick's character or things that happened previously, something you don't know much about unless you've seen the other films; this is an 80's type comedy with a modern sensibility, but if you've never seen an 80's comedy much of the humor will be lost). Overall, a delightful film that the entire family can enjoy; well worth your time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A charming comedy for the whole family..., April 23, 2001

By

Paul Hogan returns 13 years after the last 'Crocodile' Dundee film and surprisingly still provides enough comedy and charm for several movies.

'Crocodile' Dundee in Los Angeles is a pretty funny movie, it's also the most family oriented film out of the Croc trilogy. It's funny, but never violent or sleazy. Essentially it's another 'fish out of water' story, but Paul Hogan's Mick Dundee is such a fun character to watch and an easy one to like that the lack of an original story doesn't detract too much from the proceedings.

It's been 13 years since Dundee II, Mick and girlfriend Sue Charlton reside in Austrailia's Walkabout Creek with their son. Mick still runs Never, Never tours and Sue is still a reporter for her father's newspaper. When the editor of the LA branch dies, Sue's father asks her to take over operation in LA until a permanent replacement can be found. Sue agrees to do it and Mick agrees to come along and take their son...before you know it, it's off to LA.

There's not much originality in the script, but it moves along fast enough and provides enough laughs...there are several funny moments in the film (especially the freeway bit) and the kid is surprsingly cute. If you've seen the previous two films, you know what to expect. What makes this film work, especially as an aimable family flick, is the charm and warmth of it. It's not overly sappy, but a character like Dundee is one that children will get a kick out of, because his misadventures are amusing and a little silly. Parents won't mind their kids watching because Mick is a character that gets along with people and sees the good in them...it's an uncommon theme to find in today's 'family' films, but one that parents will appreciate their kids learning.

Don't listen to the critics when making up your mind to see this film, they've been way off base. 'Crocodile' Dundee in Los Angeles is a funny, charming movie. One that parents can enjoy because it's legitimately funny, and one that parents won't mind showing their kids for the same reasons and also because it's good, honest and clean fun.

Can't wait for this trilogy on DVD, it's a must add to your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Wholesome Comedy Adventure, June 29, 2001

By 

gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews

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 us 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.
