Dud on the Barbie

Note to reader: This review is meant to to be read with an Australian accent. \nG'day mates. Krikey, Paul Hogan is back for his third crazy and wild adventure. Crocodile Dundee heads to Los Angeles, but this bloke didn't realize how wild Los Angeles really is. In actuality, this movie was crappier than the dunnys in the outback (They really do flush counter-clockwise.). \nSteve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, and John Madden's Outback Steakhouse commercials have inspired a new bloody fascination with Australia, barbies and Bloomin' Onions. Looks like Hogan and his mates wanted to take another ride on the coattails of the new Aussie craze, eh?\nMick Dundee, his son, and his long-time sheila Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) move to L.A. so Sue can fill in at her father's newspaper until a replacement could be found. While workin' at the newspaper, Sue uncovers that the bloke she was replacing was actually murdered for a story he was about to uncover. Seems Sue discovered some dodgy-shady movie company was really a smuggling front. She discovered this because the movie company made a really bad movie, then an even worse sequel. They then decided to make an even worse third sequel. Sound familiar, mate? A third movie in a line of bad movies is actually about three bad movies.\nMick and his son, Mike, try to adjust to life outside the bush. As in "Crocodile Dundee" I and II, the adjustment of city life is relied on for most of the movie's comedic senses. Some of these moments tickle me belly with laughter, but many make me wanna spew. \nNone of the acting lived up to Mel Gibson's or Russell Crowe's levels. In fact, besides Hogan, the crocodiles out-acted the rest of the cast. The editing supervisor for the movie must of been full of tinnys of Foster. Many scenes appeared to be randomly inserted throughout the movie. \nActually, the plot wasn't as bad as dingo dung, especially compared with the rest of the movie. It seemed a little too fancy for this no-brain movie. In the end, "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" was bad, but for those mates who like the bloke and his movies, go see it. It has its moments.
