Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)

A Major Disappointment

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Having seen both "Crocodile Dundee" and ""Crocodile Dundee 2"I just had to watch the third and final outing of Mick Dundee,Sue Charlton and the friends Down Under just to satisfy my trip down memory lane. "Crocodile Dundee" sparked my interest in cinema after I left school, particularly world cinema, in particular Australia.The plot revolves around Mick, Sue and their son Mikey living in Australia. Life is great Down Under, Mick is still hunting living the high life with his mates until Sue's father summons her back to the US to take up a role in Los Angeles. The family move to Los Angeles and we see Mick's naivety once more charming the locals. Sue is working upon an investigative story triggering Mick's gut instinct taking him to the film industry to infiltrate a film group and it's activities. A good, wholesome comedy from Paul Hogan and now ex-wife Linda Koslowski which manages to grab your attention and distracts from the the fare produced around it at the time of its release and would still hold it's own among comedy films produced now. It's pure entertainment all the way, interspersed with Paul's comedy timing delivering the goods bang on time.Cinema-goers tastes have changed since 1986 but if you're looking for it and manage to locate it, then watch the previous two movies before this one and admire the best from Down Under. the best from Down Under.

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is an awful movie with a very poorly written storyline and a cast that just don't seem interested. I wasn't a huge fan of the first Dundee, it was watchable and quite funny and that was about it, the second one was much worse, losing a lot of the heart and humour that made the original so loved, but this one completely runs it all down in to the ground, the set up of the story is ridiculous and even the title will tell you that they completely sold out with this sequel. The majority of the cast seemed to have no interest being in this film, except for Paul Hogan, who does honestly in all three movies keep the same confidence and charisma that is definitely needed to play this character, his acting is certainly not the reason the film stumbles, it's mostly the script. This film has a problem that a lot of comedy sequels seem to have, they just mess around for most of the movie, basically watching the actors do a bunch of stupid things for the first hour and then desperately trying to cram in a story for the final thirty minutes, comedies are obviously suppose to be funny but when you're just making jokes for an immensely long time and not focusing on the story one bit, it can get unbearable for the audience, particularly when the jokes aren't funny. A finale that will surely disappoint fans of the Dundee series and very few laughs, I would not recommend Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles to anyone. Crocodile Dundee most move to Los Angeles with son, where he gets caught up in a lot of trouble. Best Performance: Paul Hogan Worst Performance: Mike Tyson

Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) travels to the city of smog and stars with his young son (Serge Cockburn) in tow.No one should have had big expectations for this film, with its 1980s character now in the year 2001, with Paul Hogan noticeably aged and Linda Kozlowski looking like she had a few plastic surgery disasters. And Serge Cockburn is just annoying -- everything about this movie would be better if the kid was removed entirely (he really played no important part in the story).And yet, it is still pretty funny with a not-too-terrible mystery plot. What crime, if any, is being committed? And can Mick get to the bottom of it? These may not be the ruthless drug dealers of part two, but movie producers can be some vicious folks, as well!

I get that some people wanted something more here. But it's another Croc. Dundee movie. What did you expect?I get that the first move WAS original, and this is more of a silly comedy. What's wrong with silly comedies, anyway?I found it cute and funny. Turn you brain off here. I get that some people won't find it funny, because comedy is not universal. But I laughed throughout the movie in spite of the jokes being nothing new. I think because Paul Hogan pulls it off so well.Of course the thugs were incompetent. That's the style. Who cares if the plot was a little silly - it's a silly comedy. It works in the context of this sort of movie. Think 80s style action comedies even though this was not an 80s movie. If you can only stomach more modern cynical stuff I feel sorry for you, but if so, don't watch this.I think the kid was an OK edition. I always liked the lead female character as wellI can't believe some of the low ratings here. I have seen films I would rate a 4 or below, and I can't see how people can equate this film to those films. They are zero redeeming qualities unlike this pretty decent light comedy.
