7/10
Better than a Hatful of Turantulas
13 July 2002
If you've read any professional reviews of this cinematic feature, you've probably been told about how thin the plot is and how silly the film is. What you may not have heard is how great it is!!! What must be remembered about this film is that if you are going in looking for the action of True Lies, or the superb screenwriting of Crocodile Dundee, you're going to be disappointed. If you go in with a love of the Crocodile Hunter (and how could you not), you'll be treated to a side-splittingly funny film about one of the Hunter (Steve Irwin)'s typical adventures with a not-so-typical twist. There is plenty of time devoted to Steve admiring the world's deadliest creepy-crawly things at close range, and brazenly jumping into a river with a giant croc, favorite staples of his cable show. And if you pay attention, you'll learn a few things too! This is combined with a fluffy spy sub-plot (actually including a smaller spy sub-sub-plot, a croc hating Ozzie sub-plot, and a flirtatious spy love sub-sub-sub plot). All in all, an enjoyable film full of laughs that is over before it has a chance to get old. Just remember one thing- leave your brain at the door.
