75
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
The no-sweat clunkiness of the detective plot becomes kind of charming.

63
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
He (Hogan) and the other backers of the movie are betting that Dundee has been gone long enough to make him seem fresh, or -- like that old uncle -- at least welcome.

63
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
The film is surprisingly easy to sit through, digest and even enjoy. Why? A lot has to do with Hogan's well-documented charisma as a performer.
60
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
The running joke about coffee enemas will date this innocuous, crowd-pleasing adventure comedy.

60
Mr. Showbiz
Larry Terenzi
Wincer keeps the insubstantial story moving and the comedy light.
58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
Refreshingly old-fashioned.

50
Miami Herald
Curtis Morgan
Isn't a total crock.
50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It may not be brilliant, but who would you rather your kids took as a role model: Crocodile Dundee, David Spade or Tom Green?

50
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The punchlines are as tired as Hogan looks.

40
Film.com
Sean Means
Hogan's rough-and-ready charm remains intact, but it's not enough to salvage this instantly forgettable movie.

40
Variety
David Stratton
Amiable rather than genuinely funny.

40
New Times (L.A.)
M.V. Moorhead
It would be hard to imagine a less exciting movie. Still, inoffensiveness can sometimes lead to success, at least initially, for a family film.

40
The New York Times
A.O. Scott
Nostalgia and comedy are run through a food processor until they become a flavorless paste.

40
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
There's something good-natured, even sweet about this well-meaning affair.

40
LA Weekly
Paul Malcolm
Despite the lack of zing in Hogan's frequently self-deprecating zingers, director Simon Wincer repeatedly lets scenes dribble on until an awkward silence engulfs everyone onscreen.

38
USA Today
Mike Clark
When movies have degraded to the point that Tyson is acting more than Quentin Tarantino is directing, maybe it is time for an industry shutdown, strike-induced or otherwise.

30
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A rube's-eye view of Hollywood, but the rube is weary, and those around him seem to be suffering from terminal torpor.
30
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
This latest, utterly gratuitous chapter in the saga of the wisecracking reptile hunter will add nothing to the ever-dimming reputation of the Subaru pitchman.

30
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Hogan returns with what feels like a feature-length vanity project.

25
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
I laughed once.
25
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The lackadaisical pace of CD3 is a disappointing surprise.
25
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
A sequel whose time has come - and gone.
20
Los Angeles Times
Jan Stuart
Where there was a modicum of charm to Mick Dundee's earliest exploits in New York City, the joke has withered as markedly as Hogan's face.
