How sad is this?
Fantastic!
Kangaroo Jack is god. If you dare slander his name, i promise you pain without end. Kangaroo Jack is the greatest movie to be created by Warner Bros. One of my personal favorite scenes is when they are in the toilet and it sounds like their talking about poop when they're talking about money haha 10/10
Kangaroo Jack is nothing more than a very silly little farce about a kangaroo who makes off with The Mob's dough.This film is super-lightweight comedy. And, it is basically unremarkable, despite some truly funny moments that pop up once in a while.As the story tediously rolls along - Two childhood buds (one a dreamer, the other a mob boss's stepson) must retrieve the long-gone cash from the speedy marsupial before consequences escalate out of control and take a real ugly turn for the worst.Warning! - The scatological humour in this flick in greatly overdone. And, once again, flatulence is repeatedly mistaken for laughing gas.
"Kangaroo Jack" took a lot of heat when it came out, mainly because it turned out it wasn't actually about some sort of jive-talking, wise-cracking kangaroo. Unsuspecting parents walked in expecting to sit through a boring kid's movie, but eventually had to sit through a cleverly disguised (yet still boring) toilet comedy. Since then a lot of people have criticised the movie's blatant false advertising (the trailer is one of the most hilariously misleading things you'll ever see), which is unfortunate because they often ignore that the movie itself just totally blows as well. Who's even supposed to be the demographic for this? Is there some kind of underground society of Anthony Anderson fans I don't know (or want to know) about? Are there people that just watch ANY movie set in the Australian outback, regardless of what it's about or how annoying the people in it are? The whole movie seems like an afterthought of the marketing campaign, it's almost like the makers forgot they actually still had to make this thing for a while. I guess that's the way you make a killing at the box office, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Woeful film.
I wasn't really expecting much watching Kangaroo Jack and I got more or less what I was expecting. It is not a terrible film as such, just very bland and too silly for my tastes. It has some good points, the scenery is lovely and the soundtrack is decent. Kangaroo Jack is what makes the movie, he isn't in much but he is amusing when he appears. The rest ranges from adequate to poor. The human actors are simply not very good, their characters are bland while Estella Warren can't act and Jerry O'Connell is annoying. The writing throughout is very weak, with the humour either too childish for adults or going over children's heads. The story is thin and very idiotic with the ending particularly too stupid for words. The editing could've been much smoother too. All in all, good kangaroo, not so good a movie. 4/10 Bethany Cox
