The adventures of crocodile hunter Mick Dundee continue as Mick, his partner Sue and their son Mikey travel to the bizarre netherworld of Los Angeles, California. When Sue is temporarily assigned to the Los Angeles bureau of her father's newspaper to investigate the suspicious death of the former bureau chief, Mick, going through a slow hunting season, decides that this may be a good opportunity to introduce Mikey to a world outside of Walnut Creek, Australia. However, the father and son team get more than they bargained for when they find themselves knee-deep in Sue's murder investigation and caught up in Hollywood's trendy celebrity culture.

I first saw this movie years ago at the Galaxie theater complex, the first time I heard Dolby Surround and, come to think of it, my first ever visit to a movie theater complex (several movies playing all at once! amazing!). The movie is no blockbuster, but I had a marvelous time watching it. No shortage of funny scenes and Dundee in L.A. works, also as Paul Hogan’s symbolic farewell to the silver screen.

I'll give the film a bit more points than another movie would deserve. The Hogan-Kozlowski duo still works in this third, albeit occasionally awkward, installment. Just having some of my favorite characters around is enough for me, and thanks to that, I had a pretty good time with it. Some of the scenes are funny, you can't deny that.

The beginning is good and properly Dundee-esque, but as soon as the family starts moving out of the jungle, disaster looms. Unfortunately, once they get to Los Angeles, a boring and predictable attempt to capture the old magic emerges, but it lacks anything like a plot. I like Paul Hogan for his spontaneity, but unfortunately, this didn't turn out as expected.
