"Crocodile
Dundee in Los Angeles"
Now don't laugh at me, but I enjoyed the third chapter in
the life of Crocodile Dundee.
You read correctly, I liked the movie. It is one of those
films that when you take it at face value there is no way
that you don't have a good time.
Paul Hogan reprises hhis role as the original crocodile hunter
and winds up in Los Angeles as he follows his son and childs
mother to the states for another batch of culture shock.
The thing that makes this movie a winner is that it is not
afraid to poke fun at itself. Sure we saw Dundee and his trials
and tribulations in New York, but as we all know New York
is not the same as Los Angeles. They have a lot of fun with
Dundee discovering the world of excess and amenities. And
of course he just so happens to drive around L.A. in a Subaru
Outback.
There is a side plot that has to do with some bad guys, but
the fun in the movie is the fish out of water bits.
If you liked the other "Crocodile Dundee" films
then this will hit you in the right spot.
