...a larger-than-life premise that’s employed to watchable yet entirely disposable effect...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 24, 2024

Of course this American-made, Australian-set caper comedy is ten tonnes of terrible. How could it not be?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2020

A very bad movie -- shouldn't have been PG.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 24, 2010

A ragged comedy that features much more lame slapstick action than bouncing beast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Likable but negligible.

| Mar 5, 2007

Brainless and inane, this is for undemanding kids only.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Parents beware: this film is too crude, violent and offensive for younger viewers.

| Jun 24, 2006

It's a thin, tedious caper only notable for its impressive Outback locations and a cameo from Christopher Walken that proves the word 'no' isn't in his vocabulary.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2004

Whatever reasons led to the creation and release of this sorry excuse for entertainment, parents looking for some weekend fun with the little ones can safely steer clear of Kangaroo Jack.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Nov 20, 2003

No one seems to have any idea whether this is an action movie, a comedy, a kid's movie or perhaps a bizarre experiment in kangaroo torture.

Remember when Jerry O'Connell had a future?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 9, 2003

A competent and workmanlike action-adventure romp for kids, briefly enlivened by a funny cameo from Christopher Walken.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 8, 2003

The movie is crap, but no more so than you'd expect from something with [i]Kangaroo Jack[/i] on the title card and Jerry Bruckheimer's name under the producer credit.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 6, 2003

If you can imagine how painful it would be to wander aimlessly lost for days on end through the Australian outback, that's how the eighty-nine minutes of this film go by.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 27, 2003

David McNally basically made a mob comedy, realized it wasn't funny and then added in computer-generated shots of the kangaroo that didn't require paying actors for reshoots.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 26, 2003

January films are the comeuppance all film critics must suffer for the treasures thrown at them during November and December. Seeing that 2002's holiday slate was one of the richest in memory, something tells me I'm in for 31 days of pain like no other.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 19, 2003

O personagem-ttulo aparece pouco ao longo da projeo: se somarmos todas as suas cenas, possvel que o resultado no passe de 15 minutos. E se estes 15 minutos j so ruins, imaginem os 75 minutos restantes...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 17, 2003

If only Walken had met up with the kangaroo...

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2003

Parents may find themselves growing tired of the immature undertone, but the charismatic odd couple of O'Connell and Anderson is enough to emphasize the film's light-hearted feel.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 20, 2003

I'm sorry to say that Kangaroo Jack is top of my 2003 'worst list' so far.
