	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"Some jokes feel like witnessing a slo-mo train crash but the humour at least has awareness (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[An] ill-conceived comedy (...) It's a reasonable enough premise for comic mayhem, but the script by Murphy and Robert Mond fails to capitalize on it"	NEG
United States	Richard Kuipers Variety	"The execution of 'The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee' is anything but excellent. A lumbering attempt at self-reflexive meta comedy (...) Lethargic and poorly written"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Nearly every guest star in this movie has a deer-in-the-headlights look, as if they’re not sure what they’ve gotten themselves into (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
Australia	Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald	"There are numerous gags about how bad an actor Hoges is (...) These are largely true, except for the charm, which is intact (...) This may allow some viewers to forgive the movie’s many shortcomings (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	John Serba Decider	"'The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee' couldn’t make us laugh even if it was holding us at knifepoint."	NEG
United States	Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"[It won't] appeal to anyone other than Paul Hogan fans."	NEG
