 | Well, this is certainlly an embarressing movie. As Paul Hogan tries to resurrect a dead franchise that really wasn't all that clever or popular in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I love Paul Hogan, The first Croc was good, he was ok in Almost an angel, he was a straight pimp in Lightning Jack; one of the best comedies of all time. However this...there are no words for this, every line is predictable, the acting is horrible and everything from begining to end is just just cornball and cheesey. There really was no need for this film. The reason i gave it three stars is because despite all its shortcomings, it does have charm, you can almost symphathyze with Hogan knowing he probably knew this wasn't going to work, however I watched it at two in the morning on accident and it kept me watching it; all you have to do is suspend disbelief and you feel like you are with an old friend again. |

 | 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. |

 | All they have is one short film on how the movie was made, and a patheic theater trailer attached to it. Mediocore DVD results for a medicore film... |

 | "Fun for the whole family!" How often to you see that quote when reading movie reviews these days. Unfortunately, not often enough. Well, I'm happy to say that "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" *is* fun for the whole family, and if you don't agree with me, you must be a dirty old crocodile! Subaru Outback spokesperson Paul Hogan returns to the silver screen as Mick "Crocodile" Dundee - our favorite bloke from "down under" since Yahoo Serious. After seeing John Carpenter's "Escape from L.A.", I was hesitant to see another movie based in the city of angels. Carpenter's dark and violent vision of the not-so-distant-future left me with an uncomfortable chill. Although, that scene where Snake Pliskin surfs with Henry Fonda (or was that Peter?) was pretty sweet! "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" doesn't need the "Hollywood special effects", "big budget" or "competent director" to succeed - it does just fine by itself. Filled with knee-slapping pratfalls, and crazy hijinks, don't be surprised if you wake up your neighbors with your boysterous laughs (assuming you live close to your neighbors). Paul Hogan and Linda Kosolowososswski are Hollywood's best on-screen (and OFF-screen!) couple since Keanu Reeves and Lori Petty in "Point Break". Their chemistry is simply priceless! "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" will leave you with a wonderful feeling! |
