From the opening shot of a Jurassic Park-esque reptilian eye, you know you are in for a wild ride. As Mick "Crocodile" Dundee sits in a canoe sharpening his famous knife, a monstrous croc hides somewhere in the deep. The croc suddenly attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch. Mick, who recognizes his importance in the modernizing bush is now no more than as a tourist attraction, agrees to join her, and together Mick, Sue and son Mikey head for Los Angeles. Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm "Mal" Gibson's colorful exploits. Sue's article soon leads to a sleazy film producer, so Mick gets a job as a monkey wrangler at his studio, where his investigation uncovers some very sketchy goings-on.

| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe most unwelcome comeback since anthrax. |
| Talking Pictures (U.S.)Tony ToscanoNever offers any big laughs -- just smirks and the nagging feeling we've seen and done all this before. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamThe no-sweat clunkiness of the detective plot becomes kind of charming. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The most unwelcome comeback since anthrax. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderAs Aida Turturro's reporter character aptly puts it, 'I had a bad feeling about this from the start!' |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAs thin and ephemeral as a TV variety show from the 1960s, and just about as au courant. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisThe running joke about coffee enemas will date this innocuous, crowd-pleasing adventure comedy. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsHe (Hogan) and the other backers of the movie are betting that Dundee has been gone long enough to make him seem fresh, or -- like that old uncle -- at least welcome. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe punchlines are as tired as Hogan looks. |
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonDepending on one's point of view, either a polite antidote to the rampant nastiness of current comedy, or an uninspired throwback. |
