Crocodile Dundee Reviews

I remember it very well when this movie was released. Indeed, against all expectations, it turned out to be a huge worldwide box-office success, it was even the 2^nd  second-highest grossing film of the year, just behind ‘Top Gun’. Anyway, I wonder if I saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released but, back then, when I was a kid, I thought it was a pretty cool and really funny flick. Eventually, many years later, I saw it again with Nick, my step-son, and, to be honest, the whole thing didn’t grow old very well, I’m afraid. Basically, it is a rather straightforward feature following the basic rules of the fish-out-of-water comedy with some romantic elements added to the mix. At least, Paul Hogan was quite charismatic and there were some nice jokes throughout the damned thing. Eventually, what really bothered me was the fact that 'Crocodile' Dundee was basically some kind of super-hero who could stop animals just by looking at them. I mean, this kind of things were quite awesome to see when I was a kid but, as a grown-up, I thought it was rather corny. Anyway, to conclude, it is basically a typical cheesy 80's comedy but it is still entertaining and it is definitely worth a look.
