Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)

The Age of Commercialism

good back-story, and good acting

Brilliant and touching

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Having returned to Australia, "Michael 'Crocodile' Dundee" (Steve Hogan) and his girlfriend "Sue Charlton" (Linda Kozlowski) have set up residence in Walkabout Creek and are contentedly raising their son "Mikey" (Serge Cockburn). But that all changes when Sue gets a call from her father who tells her that he needs her to fill in for the newspaper bureau chief in Los Angeles who has recently died under mysterious circumstances. Although the assignment is only temporary both Crocodile Dundee and Mikey accompany her. However, as soon as they arrive their ability to adapt to their new environment is immediately put to the test. So much so that they arrange to have a good friend from Australia by the name of "Jacko" (Alec Wilson) come to Los Angeles to help out. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a mediocre sequel which doesn't quite measure up to the previous two films in the series simply because it doesn't really add anything new. Even so, I still got some measure of enjoyment out of it and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

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.

This new addition to the Crocodile Dundee franchise is like one of the worst thing that ever happened in 2001, at the end of the film you feel like Paul Hogan should pay you back for seeing this. The movie from the set go lacks vision, entertainment and if it were a direct to DVD movie it would have made more sense.There was definitely no reason for them to have made this movie, but they did anyway and put it out there for us to see and dislike. This movie was so bad that I couldn't believe that it left the storyboard. Dundee (Paul Hogan) and Sue (Linda Kozlowski) are now together for like 15 years and they have a son named Michael after his father.While living in Australia Sue got a call from her father that she should come and help hold down his office (a newspaper company) in Los Angeles while he attends to other matters. Sue (after Dundee said that he and Michael their son will go along) accepted the offer and moved with her family to Los Angeles, there both father and son were kind of out of it and made the news once for just not getting how things work in America.The antagonist in this one is a phony movie production company, and in this flick we get to see Dundee go undercover. A side story to the whole movie plot has both Dundee and Sue not being married for the whole 15 years they have been together with Sue wanting it but not pushing it and Dundee just not manning up to do the right thing.Trust me after you have read this review just run away from this flick, it is not worth the one hour thirty minutes I put into it. In this movie Hogan is all old, so is Sue and the whole cute lovable couple is not so cute anymore then there are scenes were we see some ladies go gaga for Dundee, I'm no woman but that guy looked old and out of it, so I didn't see the attraction.I felt the makers wanted to see if they could still make some more money off the franchise but this $21 million production only made 39 million in the box office, maybe the DVD sales helped later on, that I don't know but one thing I'm glad for is that, I don't think there will be a Crocodile Dundee IV.www.lagsreviews.com

Linda Koslowski can still serve it up! She has the class to continually be a leading lady, looks and style for any leading man.It appears that she will most likely be an actress that may have other roles in mind. I would like to see her in a role that brings out her seductive talents. maybe a role in the next 007 movie with again, Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig is an Awesome Bond! I still like the grace of Pierce. He is like Roger Moore, Old School Bond. In any event, these gentlemen will always have their place. As for the other Bonds, they to have their place in time.What to say?????? How about a scene that will play out in Las Vegas? Daniel Craig parachutes in from 4,000 ft above the Wynn Las Vegas. He then releases the chute within 10 ft and lands in the pool to a bunch of hot ties playing at the pool side bar. There is a robbery in progress, the LV PD is not quite there. The Casino Security has taken a big hit from the barrage of bullets from the slimy gangsters that are working their way through the casino to make their exit. Pierce who by the way is merely entering the main door, utilizing his skills to apprehend the slimy criminals catching them off guard while causing minimal damage and loss of life at the casino. Mr. Steve Wynn comes from out of nowhere, barely missing a bullet pulls out his 357 magnum and takes out the main boss. Pierce wraps up the others just in time for LVPD to clean up the mess.Hows that for a scene?
