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.

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.

InSession Film

The classic New York scenery is also now sentimental, and multiple viewings are needed to pick up all the visual gags and winking bemusements culminating in a surprisingly pleasing subway confession.

I do really like this movie, but it is a bit dated, and it did get kind of boring at some parts, but it is still something you should watch. also to the guy who wrote the review saying "Australians must hate this franchise", mate, have you ever MET us Aussie blokes? I'm Australian and I like this movie.

I'm shocked the audience reviews are so low. It's a funny, fish out of water movie.

"That's not a knife... THAT'S a knife." I'm sure if they were to remake 'Crocodile' Dundee today, they'd probably make a wacky, "fish out of water" romp. "Look at this idiot Australian doing stupid backwoods stuff, isn't it funny?" But, is that what the movie is about? Not really. Kinda? If anything, the movie's plot has more in common with a romantic comedy, than that of an antics-filled comedy. Plus, Mick, the titular character, represents the downtrodden and misunderstood. People in New York view his simple nature and lack of understanding, particularly of modern culture in the City, as something worth teasing and belittling. Yet, it's his genuine kindness that makes the character so appealing. Also, Mick is far from "stupid." Calling Mick stupid 'cause he doesn't know what a bidet is, is like making fun of a fish 'cause they can't walk on land.

The main issue is the editing isn't that good once they arrive in NYC. Things just sort of happen while he's in the city with no real flow or reason besides putting Mick in funny antics. The saving grace here is it's actually consistently funny because of mainly Paul Hogan whose solid in the role and very likeable and charming. This consistently gets a chuckle and a good laugh once in a while suprisingly. Besides that everything is half decent about it. The setting is memorable, there is a couple memorable visual gags, the music is kind of catchy in the first half, and there is some decent chemistry between the two of them. The ending is a bit anticlimatic but still got a laugh and smile. It's definetely a unique fish out of water story with a quirk likeable character who is the main reason this remains watchable. I don't really get why though this was a big smash hit though. If your a big fan of any actors in this or 80's comedies than check this out.

Should be rated higher because this film is a ripper. Do think Mick is a bit too old for his Sheila though. Also they drink proper pints in Oz not those tiny US sized beers they showed in the Walkabout pub. Watched it on Film4.

A pretty simple comedy that puts a man out of his comfort zone and the laughs ensue. Entertaining enough
