It's pretty dated and a little offensive at times, but it's still a fine time. I laughed out loud at some of the jokes and I also thought there were some pretty shots of Australia in the first half, and a pretty fitting score. Overall it's worth seeing if you haven't already and are looking for something good to pass the time.

Fish out of water Ozploitation but he was a pretty badass character. Stupid ending. Fav scene: I didn't realize "no, this is a knife" was a quote from this movie.

The old country-bumpkin-in-big-city routine. The city, as so often, is New York; the country, this time, is Australia -- the "bush." Hogan, commercial spokesman for Australian tourism and Australian beer, is herein a pitchman for Australian "character" or Australian manhood or just himself. It was the surprise hit of 1986: Soo-proize? 'S a bladdy amizement, i'n' it? Cute ending, though.

The quintessential Aussie, Hogan, lends his charm to this ingratiating moneymaker.

TripleSH | 50 32nd |
Very stereotypical middle-of-the-road 80's fare: Take a narrow, niche idea and turn it into a 90 minute comedy. Worth seeing once just so you can do the whole "That's a knife" bit and not be a poseur.

Vaguely entertaining fish out of water comedy that unfortunately spawned a late 80s trend that lionized all things Australian.

Great idea for a movie. Kind of like the country mouse visiting the city mouse on a larger scale. Cute, funny in parts, but not at the top of the list.

Though very silly, Crocodile Dundee is tons of fun. Paul Hogan is a great comical actor, and his straight-faced humor is excellent throughout many ridiculous scenes. Really good!

saucyjack | 65 40th |
Charming, but lightweight comedy. Isn't all that funny and is pretty much innocuous, but knows how to push the right buttons. Somehow became a smash hit and a large part of America's weird obsession with Australia during the 1980s.

You just couldnt make this film in this day and age. Primarily because you wouldnt be allowed to put Linda Kozlowski's righteous behind smack in the middle of a family film any more!

I expected something spectacular Indiana Jones-like, but actually nothing really happens, right? Nevertheless, I found it to be quite entertaining. This is just some great storytelling and nothing less than that, but also nothing more than that.

It's idiotic and stereotypical but much of the comedy works despite it. Obviously dated and the sequels tarnished a bit of the goofy charm.
