Why Steve, Why?

I really liked Steve Irwin. The man was so full of life, so knowledgeable in animals and larger than life, but I wish I could have asked him why he consented to doing a movie. I mean, the man is not an actor. The good idea would have been a feature length movie following him in his work with crocodiles, but sticking him in a improbable script where he embarrassingly mugs and talks to the camera, breaking the "fourth wall" amidst the plot is humiliating for the man. Sadly, poor Terri is given very little to do but follow him around and make some goofy faces. The plot is over a lost satellite part and Steve confusing the agents coming to fetch it as poachers. These sort of antics might have been popular in Seventies movies, but they certainly don't work with a much-loved Animal Planet celebrity. The movie is best for kids, but not for adults.
