Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles

i don't know what everyone has against this movie. sure, it isn't the best thing i have ever seen and probably won't win any academy awards, but still...the return of the crocodile dundee character was wonderful. linda kozlowski has been missed from the big screen as well. what great great performances husband and wife played in their recurring roles. i urge anyone and everyone to go see this movie.

"Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" follows the same fish-out-of-water formula as the original 1986 film with a different setting. That probably explains why its overall IMDb user rating is just 5. People get the feeling that the movie is only repeating, with minor changes, something that was already done. (Like when Mel Brooks used jokes in his Robin Hood movie that he'd used years before in "Blazing Saddles." Yet "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" is still a pleasant and funny diversion. Perhaps if "Crocodile Dundee" and "Crocodile Dundee II" hadn't come before it moviegoers would be more enthusiastic about this movie. It's also a movie you can show to young children, which is more than you can say about 90 percent of the comedies (or movies in general) nowadays.

I saw this movie last night and I'm sorry to say its one of the worst i've ever seen. I've watched the first two films and really enjoyed them, but this is just abysmal. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't a fan, or anyone who is for that matter! Its just a movie to cash in from people who are curious to see whats going to happen this time, but i don't think there is a joke throughout the entire film! Not one thats funny anyway. I'd recommend everybody to avoid this film at all costs!

CD in LA is not a classic, but doesn't aspire to be, and if you're simply looking for a fun, light-hearted comedy, then this is the movie for you. The plot is relatively simplistic and predictable, but there are more than enough funny scenes and enjoyable characters to counter that. If you enjoyed the first 2 CD movies, than you'll probably enjoy this. Note: I actually wanted to give this move 6.5, but there is no way to do that, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and gave it a 7.

It's not a bomb. It's just that Hogan drifts through the whole thing as if he can't wait to be finished.The plot about the art crooks is plain silly though there are some funny one-liners and a hilarious cameo from Mike Tyson as himself.It works best as a movie on TV. It's clean, undemanding fare and something you can enjoy with all the family. Not many movies outside Disney can you say that about these days.

I went in to this film hoping to entertain my children, a few of their friends who came along, and myself for 90 minutes on a weekend afternoon, and what I got was quality old-fashioned family entertainment and a reintroduction to Paul Hogan's fine comic talent. To most kids my children's ages, Hogan is better known as a spokesman for Subaru station wagons than as an actor. However, he is a wonderful comic actor, fully deserving of vehicles such as this. The yokel- among-the-sophisticates plot is timeless, ranging from Buster Keaton's "Elmer" character through the Bowery Boys, Ma and Pa Kettle, Jerry Lewis, Jim Varney, etc. Hogan is working in that classic tradition, and his skills as a physical comedian, his superb comic timing, and his loveable persona will make this film a favorite on cable TV and as a video rental for decades to come. There were no dazzling special effects, nothing shocking, no social or political agenda--just well-performed, funny family comedy. The only flaw, if it can be called that, in the film was that Paul Rodriguez's character was not given enough screen time. I could imagine those two making a great screen pair. Maybe in the next film, Mick Dundee could call on his old friend from the movie business, the character played by Rodriguez, to help him out of some jam. With that large Aussie sidekick who accompanied Dundee in the second half of the film (the name escapes me)playing off both Hogan and Rodriguez, you'd have a great combination! Think about it, Paul Hogan and Lance Hool! I'll pay to bring my family to Crocodile Dundee 4 when it comes out. We had an 8 year old with us viewing the film, and she loved it, so I'd guess that the film should be acceptable to children 6 or over, and there's nothing really offensive in it if you have to take children younger than that. With this and SPY KIDS coming out in the same month, it's been a good season for family films.

Good fun abounds in this acceptable sequal. If you take this movie too seriously then you won't enjoy it. I say enjoy this movie for what it is and not for what it isn't. Paul Hogan is cool in this, Linda K. is kind of stale in her part. Finally, the Dundee trilogy is complete and so is my life, now. Good a' mate, i found me a croc' to wrastle. 6 out of 10.
