Lesha, 16 of our Hollywood Preview crew went to a screening of a new family film. Here's the scoop on:

CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LOS ANGELES

Mick Dundee,(Paul Hogan) the original "Crocodile Hunter" made the term "Now, THAT'S a knife" a household phrase in the late 1980's with Crocodile Dundee and Crocodile Dundee II. Now, Mick has set up house with his reporter sweetheart Sue (Linda Kozlowski) and they are living happily with 7-year-old son Mikey (Serge Cockburn) in the Australian outback where they run a tourist business.

When Sue is asked to come to Los Angeles to run her family magazine for a while, Mick is all for taking the whole family.. It will let their son see the big city so he can decide where he really belongs; in his dad's world or hers. L.A. is total culture shock for Mick and young Mikey. They cause a pile-up on the freeway trying to rescue a dog (that turns out to be a skunk) and Mick stabs and breaks a giant animatronic anaconda in a theme park jungle ride because it looks like the real thing back home! While Sue investigates a story about a failing film studio, Mick and outback pal Jacko (Alec Wilson) tour the town, get the best of some would-be robbers and are fascinated by Wendy's drive through service window. When Sue decides that the film studio has got to be a cover for some illegal activity, Mick goes "undercover" at the studio as an extra and then animal trainer. Investigations lead to the exposure of a plot to smuggle priceless art masterpieces out of the old Yugoslavia by disguising them as film set decorations. Mick catches the criminals in the act and a chase around the film lot is on! Mick is able to use his skill at communicating with animals to capture the crooks. Sue's magazine gets the credit for the big bust and Mick and family return home to the outback where, finally, Mick and Sue are officially married. Young Mikey decides he wants to grow up to be a crocodile-hunting magazine publisher so everybody's happy.

 

This film provides harmless family fun, laughs and action. Stunts are more humorous than violent and no one is killed. Paul Hogan as Dundee proves he's still the original "Crocodile Hunter" (not that Aussie guy on t.v.) and that his brand of "stranger in a strange land" humor is still endearing even if re-hashed from his '80's films. 10-year-old newcomer Sean Cockburn got the part as Mikey when his mom saw an ad in the paper and sent a tape to the director who chose him over 10,000 Australian children. Short appearances by boxing champ Mike Tyson and Latino comedian Paul Rodriguez are fun. A new generation of kids should find Mick and family's adventures entertaining. If you're an older teen looking for rough action, kinky, gross out laughs or intense romance, this isn't your film. If you'd like to have a few "clean" laughs with your pals or family, go see Mick Dundee hunt crocs, crooks and skunks in Tinseltown!
