This movie was surprisingly terrible. I knew it would be a bit bad, but this was awful.
Paul Hogan's character Mick Dundee worked in the first film, but now he has long overstayed his welcome. The jokes are getting old, the routine repetitive, and the characters and dialogue are getting thin.
This film could have been a refreshing satire on LA, and could have cleverly spoofed the film business. We caught a glimpse of this kind of rare humor during the backlot tour session. Unfortunately, not even that sequence was funny because (wait for it) THEY SHOWED IT ON THE TRAILER!
And then, the very end is completely thrown together in a haphazard way. I was confused - is the film taking itself serious or is it tongue-in-cheek? Either way, the ending did not work for me.
But needless to say, none of the other moments were memorable, and even the cameos can make up for how bad this trash was.
Disappointing, Hogan, very disappointing. No wonder you've no more films lined up right now.
1.5/5 stars -
