Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course

  

The MM - "Steve Irwin and his wife transplant their popular television show from "The Learning Channel" to the silver screen. The conservationists from down under take you on a tour of the Australian Outback introducing you to the local residents which include poisonous arachnids, dangerous snakes, and the title character himself. Poor acting, stereotypical characters, and a ridiculous plot that includes a spy satellite and bumbling CIA agents make some segments almost painful to watch. However, overwhelming enthusiasm, interesting and informative narration, and element of suspense (since the segments involving animals are unrehearsed and needed to be done in one take) make this movie quite likable. Personal commitment and honesty and integrity make this film very watchable but not exceptional."
