But, will the unpretentious bushman ever adapt to the big city?
Leave your thoughts about Crocodile Dundee.
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonCertainly Crocodile Dundee is nothing you can examine deeply or mull over afterward. It's simply an expert crowd-pleaser. It has such a sure, easy, confident touch that it's almost failure-proof--like a tip of the hat, a sip of beer, a quick, golden G'day. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyFormulaic but enjoyable Aussie comedy about culture collision, in large part due to star-writer Paul Hogan. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliCrocodile Dundee is a breezy, fun affair - a trifle that is extremely pleasant to sample and leaves no bitter aftertaste. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrHogan is an appealing performer, and Kozlowski has a brisk charm as his love interest. Indeed, the film functions far better as romantic comedy than it does as social satire, building an entertaining sexual suspense as an unacknowledged attraction builds between the two leads. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThe rousing climax, a variation on the old airport confession of love, sends the picture--and us--out on a high note with an affirmation of the essential New York character. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullHogan's natural charisma makes the original Dundee so appealing |
| The New York TimesNina DarntonPaul Hogan is a delightful Crocodile Dundee. He has an easy, extremely likable screen personality -a mixture of warmth, sex appeal, disarming innocence and dry humor. |
| The DissolveNathan RabinThere’s an element of self-deprecation to Hogan’s performance—a winking, grinning acknowledgment of the character’s absurdity that nicely undercuts the macho fantasy. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathThe second half of the film it's especially fun watching this Australian roughneck deal with local customs, traffic jams, subways, streetlights, and a rival for Sue's attention-her boss. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Salem AlatonUnpretentious, warm, at times hilarious, it's hard to find a bad word to say about Crocodile Dundee. |
