“The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee” (**1/2 out of four) was a slight but good-natured comedy starring Paul Hogan (playing himself) trying to revive and restore his battered reputation on the eve of being knighted and keeps running into various celebrities (Olivia Newton John, Chevy Chase, John Cleese) who muck up the works. Hogan is still amiable and charismatic at 80 years old and carries much of the movie single-handedly but a little of this unfortunately does not go a long way. Those who don’t like Hogan or the “Crocodile Dundee” series needn’t bother with this at all. Reginald VelJohnson returns from the original in a welcome cameo.
