Movie fans insist this 'cheesy' 1980s film now ready to stream is 'underrated'

An "infectiously charming" film is now streaming, boasting high praise from critics and viewers alike.

Comedy-adventure flick Crocodile Dundee follows a journalist who ventures to Australia to interview an eccentric crocodile hunter, but after he saves her from an assault, she extends an invitation for him to accompany her back to New York City.

The titular Crocodile Dundee is brought to life by Australian legend Paul Hogan, who secured the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for this unforgettable role.

Joining him is actress Linda Kozlowski as journalist Sue Charlton, John Meillon as Walter Reilly, and actor-cum-professional wrestler Steve Rackman as Donk.

Now, nearly four decades following its original debut, Crocodile Dundee alongside its follow-up is available to stream on Paramount+.

The films have remained popular with cinema enthusiasts throughout the years, with Crocodile Dundee achieving an outstanding 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Writing in the review section, one viewer gushed: "A proficient blend of comedy, romance, and thrills that stays consistent from beginning to end."

Another concurred: "Crocodile Dundee demonstrates that Australians have a talent for comedy as well.

"It's a joyful movie, full of the wonder of vintage Frank Capra, with an ingenuous hero plunked down in the big, bad city."

A third fan described it as an "underrated funny comedy", whilst another enthusiast noted: "Infectiously easygoing charm and a leading man in the role he was born to play help Crocodile Dundee make the most of its familiar fish-out-of-water premise."

To access the Crocodile Dundee franchise, viewers will require a Paramount+ subscription, which includes a seven-day free trial option.

The service then charges £4.99 per month for the Paramount+ basic plan with advertisements, whilst the standard ad-free package is priced at £7.99.

Additionally, there's a premium plan available for £10.99 per month.

However, the Paramount+ basic plan is frequently included at no additional charge for subscribers with Sky Cinema.

Crocodile Dundee 1 and 2 are available to watch on Paramount+.
