Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia)

… the ideal way to experience or even re-experience this Aussie classic, at least as far as entertainment value.

Dan Webster Spokesman-Review (Washington)

Sure, it's predictable. But this comedy about an Australian mountain man at sea in the wilds of New York is saved by the sure hand of director Peter Faiman... and, last but not least, the acting charms of Paul Hogan.

Kristin Battestella InSession Film

The classic New York scenery is also now sentimental, and multiple viewings are needed to pick up all the visual gags and winking bemusements culminating in a surprisingly pleasing subway confession.

Nigel Andrews Financial Times

The vote for the movie is a vote for human beings in a screen age elsewhere engulfed by ducks, chimps, puppets or aliens, and a vote for the "special effects" of a credible hero an: large in a credibly unnerving environment.

David Robinson The Times (UK)

[Crocodile Dundee] serves to demonstrate how enthusiastically the public will still respond to comedy of die most simple, good-natured, old-fashioned soft -- and to a star of human scale.

Bob Thomas Associated Press

Crocodile Dundee demonstrates that Australians have a talent for comedy as well. It's a joyful movie, full of the wonder of vintage Frank Capra, with an ingenuous hero plunked down in the big, bad city.

James Plath Family Home Theater

The second half of the film it's especially fun watching this Australian roughneck deal with local customs, traffic jams, subways, streetlights, and a rival for Sue's attention-her boss.

Bill Chambers Film Freak Central

The rousing climax, a variation on the old airport confession of love, sends the picture--and us--out on a high note with an affirmation of the essential New York character.

Nathan Rabin The Dissolve

It's an unhurried film, content simply to let its lovable hero loose in New York, then watch the genial hijinks as he tries to acclimate himself to a pre-Giuliani Big Apple.
