Summary: Brooklyn Blokes Hop to Central Australia.
Review: This is a harmless, modestly entertaining family oriented movie. There is no sex, no cursing, no simulated sex and no one gets killed, just a bit scrapped and boobood. So this certainly can be rated PG rather than pg13. There are genuinely funny bits as the 2 friends stumble into more and more trouble. I am not sure who the audience was for this. I liked it, my wife didn't, and the children, ages 6 8 and 10, were to bored to stay with it to the end. This is a 2.5 star movie that I'll round down because the kids all left the room.
Charlie is the step son of a mobster. He and his best friend screw up big costing Step-dad 4 million so they get sent to Australia to deliver an envelope to a Mr Smith as punishment. The money ends up in a jacket that got put onto a Kangaroo. The friend get Estelle Warren to help capture the Roo. Mr Smith and two helpers, plus Frankie from back home with two helpers end up as three groups of three wondering around the outback looking for the roo or each other. Anthony Anderson who plays Charlies friend Louis has all the best moments. This is at best a rental.

Summary: Note: This movie is from the Planet DORK!
Review: I can't believe I actually wanted to see this movie! It was STUPIDDD! To dumb to be true! After 45 minutes of the movie me and my brother were about to barf! Jerry Bruckhiemer you dissapointed me totally. This is on my Top 2 Worst movies I ever saw! (Next to Mr. Mom). DUMB! STUPIDDD! This movie is for pack mules. And if they make a sequel BOO...!! I'll punch Jerry Bruckhiemer in the jaw! I'd better get off the review and stop writing. I just want to say one more thing this movie was the definition for PATHETIC! P.S. the reason I'm quitting the review is because I'm waiting for a phone call from Planet DORK!

Summary: Not a family movie!!!
Review: I watched this movie with my kids & i DO NOT see how it is a movie for the entire family!!! This movie should be rated PG13!!My kids really didn't like it & said it was boring.I would not recommend this movie for kids under 13- it is not for young kids. A good family movie is stuart little 1&2.

Summary: Funny, But Not Enough
Review: I'll admit, there are some really good jokes put in here, such as the drunk pilot, the kangaroo's antics, and some of Anthony's lines, but after awhile it loses it's touch. First off, the kangaroo doesn't talk at all until the end, and that whole rapping thing was just a dream of Charlie's. Another thing, the plot is good, but needed some touching up. And there are too many coincidences. As soon as the pair is about to die, here comes a police helicopter! Basically this is an OK movie, not good, but not bad either. The only reason I didn't give it a 3 is because "Jackie Legs" lightens every thing up!

Summary: They Call This a Children's Movie???
Review: Well, I'm no professional movie critic, but I do spend lots of money on going to the movies with friends and family. This movie had to be a waste of some hard-earned money for me. I went with 2 other single parents and their children to see this movie. We have all made a commitment not to take our children to PG-13 movies so we thought this would be ok. It had its moments of humor, and the kangaroo is pretty well animated, which is why our kids wanted to see it. At times I almost forgot it was computer-generated. But I felt greatly deceived at its PG rating. Aside from being boring at times and over-the-top rediculous, the violence and sexual innuendo were too much for me. I have an 11-year-old boy who's eyes opened wide at the sight of Jerry O'Connell's character putting his hands on the female co-star's breasts, when he thought she was a mirage...then there was the steamy scene in the waterfall. With barely a wet t-shirt and underwear, this female co-star left little to the imagination, along with the passionate kissing and embracing going on between the 2 characters. This movie was not at all appropriate for impressional young minds, not to say that it was pure sexual solicitation that was unnecessary for this movie. Good movies are becoming so rare these days. These crass movie makers must think they need to offer sex and violence in a kid's movie in order to get us in a theatre. The reason I gave this movie a rating of one star was because they didn't have a zero. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Hippity-Hop Fun
Review: I love Kangaroo Jack. While I saw funnier films but the pair of Jerry Connell&Anthony Anderson was a good job. Plot was very good with fun twists and turns. I don't understood the complaint of the viewers when they say that scenes were lewd and violent. What movie was they watching just because of the appearance of mobsters. This was a fun movie.

Summary: This Is A Dumb Movie
Review: I didn't like it on many levels but mostly the basic movie plot. I also didn't like any of the characters playing. It's just a stupid movie! I suppose some people can find it funny, but they must be on something I am not. I hope to avoid anything these people make in the future.

Summary: Kangaroo got jacked
Review: What can one say about a film where the best performance was by a digitally created animal? That's right--Kangaroo Jack was the best performance in this movie, especially with his Australian accent, facial expressions, and the scene where he raps. I wish the movie would feature more about the Kangaroo and less about the childish plot using every Hollywood formula cliche they could throw in there, included mismatched buddies who have no real basis for a true friendship. I'm glad to see that the DVD has commentary by the Kangaroo himself, for maybe he can explain this movie to the audience. Although I didn't particularly find this movie all that funny, I would buy the DVD just because I liked the kangaroo in the film. Pair him up with Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin, and you might have a better movie.
