“Crocodile Dundee” knows the words to this story, but not the music. All of the cliches are in the right places, most of the gags pay off and there are moments of real amusement as the Australian cowboy wanders around Manhattan as a naive sightseer (but) the movie feels curiously machine-made, as if they had all the right ingredients and simply forgot to add the animal magnetism.
