	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"All of the cliches are in the right places, most of the gags pay off and there are moments of real amusement (...) The problem is that there's not one moment of chemistry between the two stars (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Nina Darnton The New York Times	"Paul Hogan is a delightful Crocodile Dundee. He has an easy, extremely likable screen personality (...) [The screenplay] is witty, with a fine sense of irony"	POS
United States	Variety	"[Faiman] has problems with the pacing and a script [from a story by Hogan] that has its flat, dull spots."	NEG
United States	Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"Charm and personality are most of what 'Crocodile Dundee' has to offer, and they’re peddled with panache"	POS
United Kingdom	Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"For a long time 'Crocodile Dundee' isn't so much a collection of jokes as a stiff-jointed opposites-attract romantic drama goofed up with stereotypes"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Unpretentious, warm, at times hilarious, it's hard to find a bad word to say about 'Crocodile Dundee' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"A breezy, fun affair - a trifle that is extremely pleasant to sample and leaves no bitter aftertaste (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
