Critics Consensus

Infectiously easygoing charm and a leading man in the role he was born to play help Crocodile Dundee make the most of its familiar fish-out-of-water premise.

Nigel Andrews

Financial Times

The vote for the movie is a vote for human beings in a screen age elsewhere engulfed by ducks, chimps, puppets or aliens, and a vote for the "special effects" of a credible hero an: large in a credibly unnerving environment.

The Times (UK)

[Crocodile Dundee] serves to demonstrate how enthusiastically the public will still respond to comedy of die most simple, good-natured, old-fashioned soft -- and to a star of human scale.

Associated Press

Crocodile Dundee demonstrates that Australians have a talent for comedy as well. It's a joyful movie, full of the wonder of vintage Frank Capra, with an ingenuous hero plunked down in the big, bad city.

… the ideal way to experience or even re-experience this Aussie classic, at least as far as entertainment value.

Rated: 15/20

Dan Webster

Spokesman-Review (Washington)

Sure, it's predictable. But this comedy about an Australian mountain man at sea in the wilds of New York is saved by the sure hand of director Peter Faiman... and, last but not least, the acting charms of Paul Hogan.

Rated: 3.5/4

I grew up with this movie, so my review of this film is a bit on the nostalgic side. I watched it recently and really still enjoy this film. It is a time capsule of a film for sure. It's a very straightforward film, simple and to the point. It doesn't try to do anything bigger than what it is. So if your in the mood for a easy watch with some comedic and romantic elements, sit back and give it a try.

I watched Crocodile Dundee for the first time the other day and was genuinely surprised by how little plot there is. The premise, she’s writing a story about Dundee. This barely functions beyond giving her an excuse to hop over to Australia and then haul him back to New York. The film seems blissfully uninterested in fleshing this out any further. Really, it plays like an hour and a half of fish-out-of-water gags, loosely stitched together with a love story and an undercooked love triangle.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
