“Crocodile Dundee” seems like it is good, old-fashioned, clean and fun but there are too many lines that made me feel uneasy as they walk on the thin line of political correctness and that’s a real shame because for the most part it’s a nice little picture.

In “Crocodile Dundee”, a New York reporter named Susan Charlton (Linda Kozlowski “Village of the Damned”) goes to Australia and meets outback expert Mick ‘Crocodile’ Dundee. A few days and one crocodile scuffle later she convinces Mick to come back to America with her. What follows is a series of some amusing events, a sloppy romantic triangle which wasn’t thought through very well and a few comments which left me shaking my head.

Paul Hogan plays the classic kind of tough but friendly guy. Action heroes seem to lack a heart and aren’t the kind of people you could have a good laugh but Mr. Dundee is and that’s what I really like about the film. The scenes where he’s in America create a few good laughs. The other characters are pretty boring and the woman Susan doesn’t really seem to have a lot of chemistry with the manly Australian and that’s a real shame too but that’s not my biggest issue with the film.

“Crocodile Dundee” creates enough laughs to make it work but I dislike how all the Americans sneer at Crocodile’s behaviour as if he was just some simpleton; there’s even a line that says about what is doing is okay because he’s Australian and that’s what is unnecessary and offensive. Without those few parts I probably would have recommended “Crocodile Dundee” because for the most part it is harmless entertainment. I do really like what the character Crocodile Dundee stands for because while he maybe tough he’s also jolly.
