What to Know

Critics Consensus

Infectiously easygoing charm and a leading man in the role he was born to play help Crocodile Dundee make the most of its familiar fish-out-of-water premise.

Mildly but continuously entertaining. You would hardly think that was a trade secret, a magic ingredient, but it seems to be. Go to Full Review

Crocodile Dundee isn't a very ambitious film, but it is one of those popular entertainments that doesn't pour treacle all over you. Go to Full Review

This comedy should delight audiences hungry for hero figures unimpressed by the rituals of cultivated society. Go to Full Review

"'Crocodile'" has a broad, self-assured smile, but not much bite. Go to Full Review

It's not precisely a new idea but it's done with great freshness and lovely timing and it's all very entertaining indeed. Go to Full Review

Pineapples P @Cycle731 4 days ago Pretty mediocre result of a movie See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 19, 2026 Crocodile Dundee ought to be acclaimed and celebrated far above many another movie. It ought to be reported as a feminist favourite. Yes, I am being serious. Who is the star of the show, so to speak? Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee. But who is the person that makes everything happen? Who is the decision maker? Sue Charlton. Linda Kozlowski plays Sue, a New York journalist on assignment to Australia, who insists that she has to do one last feature before coming home: the Crocodile Dundee story. After her adventure with Dundee in the bush, she hits on him and then invites him back to the USA for a taste of urban jungle. He continues to impress her, stateside, and when she realises where her feelings are now leading her, she acts! She doesn't wait around. She takes charge! She goes after what she wants, and how! And why not, indeed! This is a marvellously funny romantic adventure movie. Kozlowski and Hogan really did fall in love and got married. The perfect ending. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 9, 2026 Crocodile Dundee = a 4.0 star Movie... See more Meghan W @Meghan506 Jul 26, 2026 The movie Crocodile Dundee is really great. It is really funny. I really recommend it. See more thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 19, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Joe U. @ACSolarski Feb 23, 2026 A few cute scenes but otherwise nothing but bad acting, lame script and nonsense cliches. It all rides on Paul Hogan’s easy like ability which apparently was enough in the 80s to gross $169 million. See more Read all reviews
