Paul Hogan became a minor star (o.k., a VERY minor star) as a result of this well-received comedy about a man plucked out of the middle of the Australian outback and plunked down in New York City. Cue all of the requisite fish-out-of-water jokes. Viewing the film now, one is appalled at 1.) how not very good it is and 2.) how much smaller the world must have gotten since 1986 -- this movie makes Australia seem like a country from the far side of the moon.
Hogan tried to capitalize on the success of this movie and threw his hat in the ring for a sequel. Not a good idea, mate.
Grade: C
