You wouldn’t want to overstate the film’s achievements, given that a lot of it comes across as weird, self-pitying flapdoodle. But this is, as they say, progress of a kind. Read full review

“Mr. Dundee” is saved from total catastrophe by Hogan’s natural-born appeal. Read full review

The most problematic aspect of the film is that Hogan displays none of the cheeky charm and charisma that made him an international star. Although still obviously in great physical condition, he mainly walks through the film looking tired and pained, as if embarrassed to be taking part in such a labored self-reflexive exercise. On the other hand, you can't really blame him. Read full review

In the stunningly tone-deaf and horrifically unfunny The Very Excellent Mister Dundee, Hogan plays himself in a “Curb Your Enthusiasm”-esque conceit gone terribly wrong. Read full review

The user reviews on imbd sum up the film well. The type of humor isn't for everyone, especially if they were expecting something from the original 80s film as this is a fiction of reality rather than pure fiction.

The type of humor isn't for everyone, especially if they were expecting something from the original 80s film as this is a fiction of reality rather than pure fiction. The few shortcomings of the film have nothing to do with Paul. He did a great job, and the cameos were fun. Lifting the veil off hollywood is typically not received well when most people would rather prefer fantasy than reality. A great film for light hearted comedy.… Expand

I think one should admire this picture for what it IS. At no point did it attempt to compare to the original "Crocodile Dundee" film from 1986. It clearly "insists" on being in a category of it's own and I kinda like that. It was nice to see some appearances by some of our favourite starsI think one should admire this picture for what it IS. At no point did it attempt to compare to the original "Crocodile Dundee" film from 1986. It clearly "insists" on being in a category of it's own and I kinda like that. It was nice to see some appearances by some of our favourite stars from "yesterday." This film didn't try to be anything more than what it was, and I can totally respect that. Actually, my biggest complaint would be the subpar picture quality and camera work!! I know it wasn't WONDERFUL and people are being pretty harsh with this film in the reviews, but I enjoyed it.... for what it is.… Expand
