Hoges is great and Hollywood gets a jab but the co-stars flatten it.

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.

Trivia
This 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].''

Goofs
While 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.
