Paul Hogan is reluctantly thrust back into the spotlight as he desperately attempts to restore his sullied reputation on the eve of being knighted.

The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee makes one long for such comparatively stellar Hogan vehicles as Almost an Angel and Lightning Jack.

Paul Hogan has always been a buoyant, optimistic presence on our screens, so it's particularly sad that this particularly awful new movie brings us the newly octogenarian Hogan playing himself as a man mortally diminished in every way.

A lot of it comes across as weird, self-pitying flapdoodle.

…Paul Hogan’s unusual willingness to be the butt of jokes about himself just about gets this oddball little film over the line…

There is something so good-natured and genial about the film, though, that it is near impossible to get too worked up about anything on display.

The Crocodile Dundee movie series is like a good meal that went rotten years ago, then retrieved from the trash, and then served up to people who never asked for this stinking mess in the first place ... Everything about this movie is a colossal mistake.

Loved to see my favorite stars interact. The movie was honest and the end inspiring. Some say they didn't like hogan being treated poorly, but I say it's just a parody, one version of many that could have been realized. And ya know hogan approved his character I'm sure. Maybe this is how many older stars feel dramatized and blown big so we can see how this lifestyle can affect one's psyche. Maybe I'm over analyzing it. Would like an after discussion with characters that play themselves. Don't forget movie stars are people too.

I enjoyed it; it essentially boils down to the heart. I appreciate how he does not take himself or the situations he gets into too seriously. The ending was great, and the cameos were impressive. It deserves much more than 18%.

This was far better than what I was expecting going in. Great cameos by John Cleese and Chevy Chase. A fun, funny movie. A very pleasant surprise.

Some movies start out with a low ceiling. If they do everything perfectly, they'll still never be thought of as good (because they aren't). But they CAN be fun. This one was just fun.

Enjoyed the cast. Didn't enjoy watching the main character being misunderstood and treated unkindly.
