The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is a 2020 comedy film starring Paul Hogan as himself, fictionalized as a washed-up former actor who is attempting to revive his career in Hollywood. The film starts with Mr. Dundee living in Australia, trying to stay away from the limelight and living a quiet life. However, when he is offered an accolade for his contribution to the entertainment industry, he reluctantly heads to LA to accept the award but soon finds himself caught up in a series of comedic mishaps that threaten to derail his reputation and career.

Mr. Dundee’s attempts to revive his acting career are hilariously disastrous and his efforts to stay out of the public eye are met with failure when he attracts attention from both the media and his fans. He is advised by his agent, played by John Cleese, to stay out of trouble and avoid any scandalous behavior. However, Mr. Dundee finds himself in one awkward situation after another, and his attempts to correct them only seem to make things worse.

While in LA, Mr. Dundee rekindles his friendship with his former co-stars from the Crocodile Dundee franchise, Linda Kozlowski and Chevy Chase, who also make cameo appearances in the film. He also meets a new group of people, including a young actress and a film producer, who get involved in his misadventures, all making fun of the actor’s attempts at reclaiming his fame.

Throughout the film, Mr. Dundee tries to prove that he still has what it takes to be the “very excellent” actor that he once was. His attempts are marked by an array of hilarious situations, including getting a tattoo, guest-starring on a dancing show, playing Santa Claus at a department store, and even trying his hand at stand-up comedy. At every turn, he finds himself with his foot in his mouth, much to the delight of the audience.

The film has a very light tone and is filled with self-deprecating humor, mocking Hogan’s own celebrity persona while at the same time paying tribute to his most famous role, the one of Mick "Crocodile" Dundee. It is a fun, feel-good movie that does not take itself too seriously and will leave you laughing and entertained.

The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is a lighthearted and entertaining watch that will remind you of the best of 80s comedy films. With an all-star cast of comedic actors and a story that is easy to follow, it is a film that will appeal to those who want to see an actor trying to redeem himself in a series of humorous mishaps. Overall, The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is a fun and enjoyable watch, one that is set to become a classic in its own right.

The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is a 2020 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0 and a MetaScore of 24.
