Movie Reviews of Crocodile Dundee
Movie Review: Winning Formula Made This A Big Hit
Summary: 5 Stars
When you mix good comedy with action and a very likable leading character you get a hit movie. I never met anyone who didn't like this film, although there are always detractors to any movie.
However, this was an extremely entertaining film that made an international star out of Australian Paul Hogan. Two sequels followed this one. They were good, too, but could not measure up to this effort in box-office appeal.
Not only was this a big success for Hogan and everyone else connected with it, but I believe he got a wife out of this wife, going on to marry his co-star Linda Kozlowski.
Hogan, as crocodile man "Mick Dundee" made the rest of the world aware of a number of Aussie phrases. Few men played as manly as likeable and charismatic a hero in the 1980s as Hogan and "Mick Dundee."
Over 20 years later, this is still a fun movie to watch now and then.
Summary of Crocodile Dundee
When the fearless Australian crocodile hunter arrives in the big city of New York, he finds it the ultimate torture test, and gives reporter Charlton more than she bargained for.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 13-MAY-2003
Media Type: DVD
This 1986 comedy out of Australia is so old-fashioned in its romantic charm that one can't help but wonder what it would have looked like with Clark Gable and Carole Lombard in the leads. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Paul Hogan as the title character, a laid-back Aussie tracker who shows an American reporter (Linda Kozlowski) around bush country, then accompanies her to New York City. Sure, Hollywood has done the fish-out-of-water scenario to death in the last 20 years, and while this film has sufficient sport with the gimmick, it is largely driven by the principal characters and their developing love affair. Hogan cowrote the script and director Peter Faiman evokes the goofy, enchanted air of screwball comedies. The climactic scene, set in a subway station with scores of bystanders witnessing a conversation about relationship commitment, feels like vintage Capra. --Tom Keogh
