Following a brief cameo in Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), hyperactive, high-energy cable television star and native Australian naturalist Steve Irwin parlays his success as a confronter of all things scaly, fanged, and venomous into this feature-film adventure. Irwin and his wife Terri Irwin play themselves as animal activists who rescue an endangered crocodile, not realizing that the critter has swallowed a downed top-secret satellite beacon that's the subject of an intense search by CIA personnel. Believing that the spies are poachers out to steal the animal's precious hide, the Irwins evade their pursuers while attempting to get the crocodile to safety in a remote area of the Outback, adopting an orphaned joey (a baby kangaroo), and grappling with bird-eating spiders and poisonous snakes along the way. In the meantime, the secret agents mistakenly believe the Irwins are enemy operatives trying to steal their highly valuable technology. The real-life Irwins donated all of their fees from The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002) to wildlife conservation efforts. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Huge, uncomplicated and unashamedly cheesy fun.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Why, you may ask, why should you buy the movie milk when the TV cow is free? There's no good answer to that one.
-
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
The daft thing is wild about wildlife.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
When I say this movie's a charm, I'm really talking about [Steve] Irwin.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
A lightweight confection that delivers exactly what it promises.
