Crocodile Dundee alias Michael J. est un aventurier qui hante les vastes étendues du Bush australien: repas de lézards, larves et fourmis, rencontres inopinées avec des serpents et crocodiles... Elevé par une tribu d'aborigènes, il "zone" dans ces terrifiantes contrées comme un poisson dans l'eau. Sue Charlton, ambitieuse journaliste américaine, découvre l'homme sauvage et veut à tout prix faire un scoop. Elle finit par le rencontrer, l'emmène à New York, succombe à ses charmes et le suit pour le meilleur et pour le pire... (texte officiel du distributeur)

I love it. Paul Hogan is great as Crocodile Dundee in a perfect adventure comedy that I always enjoy watching. Also, the year of release is the same as mine :).

A breezy comedy well deserving of its enormous popularity. The mingling of two completely different cultures may be more than a tired premise, but it can still offer a thousand new avenues for a script. Everything is carried by the likeable character of Paul Hogan, who’s perfectly spontaneous as he warmly greets all passers-by and endearingly blunt as he shouts from a hotel room window asking what the bidet is for. The beautifully shot happy ending and the gorgeous setting of Australia just underline everything and makes this romantic tale quite possibly the funniest Australian film ever (after Finding Nemo, of course...). :D 80%

There is a lot of nostalgia in it, a lot of nostalgia indeed, but I still think it's a good movie, partly because the actors fit together so well (to the extent that Paul and Linda got married in 1990, only to unfortunately break up in 2014), but it's also because it's pleasantly tough, manly, and yet romantic enough to appeal to women as well.
