Featured reviews
The film has a slow and odd vibe, but amongst it all are a lot of outstanding laugh out loud gags and scenarios. Well worth a watch if you're a comedy fan.
Being a long time Paul Hogan fan it was great to see him back in top form. The pokes and jabs at the Hollywood system are fun and playful when watching someone in his 80s roll his eyes at a community that is self obsessed, materialistic and clutching to keep itself alive and relevent. However for all the moments where Hoges shines, it's the woeful co-stars, particularly that of his manager, that make it so cringe worthy. Some terrible acting, terrible green screen work and strange editing make this go from a possible 8 to a so-so six.
Thank you Hoges - this one isnt your fault.

I don't know why the ratings on IMDM are so low. I though it was a great movie. Typical self depreciating humour. We don't take ourselves too seriously and we like to take the piss out of ourselves and everyone else and this was evident in this movie with some great cameo's. I really enjoyed it. Anyone GenX or older I think will have a few good laughs. I know I did . Loved it! On ya Hoges
Okay, Hoges is 80 now so those expecting him to be as funny in his heyday is expecting too much.
That being said, this movie is still very funny because he plays the situations he's placed in well and, frankly, he's still got it in my opinion.
Whoever wrote and directed this deserve praise too.
Some probably don't like that the current politics is played for laughs but its hardly something that hasn't been done before, the random person the goofball stuffing up and being falsely accused, and becoming a social pariah.
I laughed a lot so that's the main thing.
I didn't have high hopes for this and at the time, there were no ratings or reviews on IMDB, so I though I'd check it out.
Paul Hogan plays Paul Hogan trying to resurrect his acting career. I love Hoges, but nothing even remotely amusing had happened a third of the way through this 90 minute film. Don't let the impressive cameos fool you. This is atrocious. I can't even see who this is aimed at. Kids? Adults looking for a dose of 80s nostalgia?
Please don't even bother with this.

- TriviaThis movie, as reported by 'The Daily Mail', ''...comes after a Tourism Australia's hilarious faux movie trailer aired during the US Super Bowl back in 2018. The big budget advert, which cost $36 million, took the form of a fake movie trailer for a new Dundee film called 'Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home' [2018].''
- GoofsWhile driving his pickup truck and first talking with his granddaughter on the phone, the seats of the truck show Raptor (a high-end Ford truck); when he turns a corner, he is shown in a normal Ford F150. After the phone call completes and he gets out of the truck and hands the keys to the valet, it's a Ford Raptor F150.
- Crazy creditsThe main credits appear in both the beginning and end, and the title only appears at the end.
