The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is a 2020 Australian comedy film directed by Dean Murphy, written by Robert Mond and Dean Murphy, and starring Paul Hogan, Rachael Carpani, Jacob Elordi, Charlotte Stent, Nate Torrence, Chevy Chase, John Cleese, Olivia Newton-John, Reginald VelJohnson, Shane Jacobson, Wayne Knight and Kerry Armstrong.

Paul Hogan is reluctantly thrust back into the spotlight as he desperately attempts to restore his sullied reputation on the eve of being knighted.

He is reluctantly thrust back into the public spotlight by his agent, who tells him the queen wants to give him a knighthood for his services to comedy.

Paul sits a meeting with a young, modern production company that would like to do a reboot of Crocodile Dundee by introducing Will Smith as his son.

Paul attempts to return to his tranquil life at home, living with his son Chase, doing the daily crossword, spending time with his dog and enjoying regular calls from his 10-year-old granddaughter Lucy in Sydney.

They run into fellow Aussie Olivia Newton-John, who invites him to a charity event on the following Wednesday where John Travolta is meant to do a Grease duet with her.

...the idea of Hogan trying to revive the warmth and affection we had for his younger self seems a forlorn hope, just as casting a creaky Harrison Ford as a man living off the land seems an unnecessary stretch.
