Crocodilo Dundee em Los Angeles
Enredo
Eis o resumo do filme: Na sequência do filme de sucesso de 1986, Crocodilo Dundee, Michael "Crocodilo" Dundee (Paul Hogan) estabeleceu-se na tranquila cidade australiana de Walkabout Creek com sua parceira, Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski), e seu filho pequeno. No entanto, sua vida pacífica é interrompida quando um prestigioso jornal de Los Angeles lhe oferece um emprego como correspondente especial. Entusiasmado com a perspectiva de explorar a cidade e vivenciar a cultura americana, Dundee aceita a oferta e segue para Los Angeles com Sue e o filho. Ao chegar, Dundee se vê em território desconhecido, lutando para se adaptar ao estilo de vida acelerado e muitas vezes caótico da cidade grande. Ele é encarregado de escrever uma coluna para o jornal, mas sua sensibilidade rústica australiana e a falta de conhecimento sobre os costumes e etiqueta americanos levam a uma série de mal-entendidos hilários e choques culturais. Enquanto isso, um assassinato ocorre em Walkabout Creek, e o sobrinho distante de Dundee, Richard (Heinz Brettel), vai a Los Angeles em busca de ajuda para resolver o crime. À medida que Dundee se aprofunda no mistério, ele se vê lutando contra um grupo implacável de bandidos que não pararão por nada para conseguir o que querem. Enquanto Dundee navega pelas complexidades da vida na cidade e confronta sua própria identidade como um australiano na América, ele também deve reconciliar seu amor por Sue com os desafios de ser pai e parceiro. Com sua mistura característica de humor, inteligência e aventura, Crocodilo Dundee em Los Angeles é uma sequência emocionante e divertida que explora temas de identidade cultural, família e comunidade.

Not as good as the first two, but still a lot of fun.

Alright, here's an attempt at translating that sentiment, keeping in mind the tone and content of "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles": "Two and a Half Stars. Yeah, it's Dundee in L.A., alright. You get exactly what you expect, and maybe that's the problem. Paul Hogan dusts off the old hat and the same old jokes, and while there's a certain nostalgic charm, it's all pretty toothless. The fish-out-of-water stuff is predictable, the plot is thinner than a shrimp on the barbie, and the whole thing feels like a reheated snag. Harmless enough if you're really craving that Dundee vibe, but don't expect any surprises or genuine thrills. Consider it a pleasant enough way to kill an afternoon, but hardly a cinematic masterpiece. It's more 'Crikey, that was... okay' than 'Crikey, that was amazing!'"
Lorenzo
A light and breezy comedy with easygoing, fun humor and relaxed performances. Thoroughly enjoyable. How does it only have a 6.3 on Douban?

Okay, here's an English translation of that review, tailored to fit the tone of the movie: "Watched this one for the L.A. setting. Not as brilliant as the original, but still a fun, lighthearted romp."

Crocodile Dundee Takes on La-La Land – A Bit Like a G'Day in Disneyland! Mick Dundee, our favorite outback Aussie, finds himself trading the rugged Northern Territory for the glitz and glam of Los Angeles in "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles." It's a classic fish-out-of-water story, a bit like Granny Clampett moving to Beverly Hills, or perhaps, as the title suggests, a less refined version of an Aussie tourist getting lost in the maze of Hollywood. The humor relies heavily on the culture clash between Dundee's no-nonsense, down-to-earth Australian sensibilities and the often-artificial, image-obsessed world of Hollywood. Picture Dundee trying to decipher movie scripts, navigating red carpet events, and generally reacting to the eccentric characters he encounters. It's broad, it's predictable at times, but there are still a few genuine laughs to be had, mostly stemming from Paul Hogan's undeniable screen presence and the inherent charm of the Dundee character. Don't expect a cinematic masterpiece. This is a lighthearted, family-friendly comedy designed to entertain rather than challenge. It's more "g'day" than "Citizen Kane," but if you're in the mood for some uncomplicated fun and a reminder of the unique Aussie spirit, then throw another shrimp on the barbie and give "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" a watch. Just be prepared for some well-worn jokes and a plot that's as predictable as a boomerang coming back.
