Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Kids will be drawn to Kangaroo Jack because of the playful antics of a computer-generated kangaroo; however, they'll probably be bored stiff as they endure the absurd and over-elaborate plot. Charlie (the charmless Jerry O'Connell) and his best friend Louis (the reasonably amusing Anthony Anderson) run afoul of Charlie's mob boss stepfather. He insists that they deliver $50,000 to a mystery man in the Australian outback--or else. Along the way, these two dimwits put Louis's bright red jacket (which happens to contain the money) on a kangaroo they think they've accidentally killed, which awakens and bounds off. Belabored and nonsensical chases follow, along with the usual realizations about the importance of friendship, etc. Kangaroo Jack has a lot more sexual innuendo and violence than you'd expect, none of which is either funny or thrilling. Christopher Walken and Estella Warren get through their supporting roles largely unscathed. --Bret Fetzer

This IS a funny and entertaining movie........2006-11-19

I'm really surprised how this movie has gotten some bad reviews here.
Sounds more like some people didn't like it because it doesn't conform to their own ideas of what a movie should be. I loved it for it's originality and entertainment. The whole family liked this one. No it's not a 5-star movie to go on the classics list. But it is a good movie. Enjoy it.

A FEW KICKS HERE AND THERE.......2006-11-13

I'm sure that CSI producer Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't hold this somewhat lame movie close to his heart, but it's really not all that bad. KANGAROO JACK, the titular hero, is NOT a talking kangaroo, but the CGI generated marsupial does provide a few laughs. Jerry O'Connell stars as the stepson of gangster Christopher Walken in an atypically ineffective performance> He and his buddy (the annoying Anthony Anderson) find themselves off on a courier mission with $50,000 to Australia. Once there, however, they lose the money when Anderson puts his jacket with the money in it on the kangaroo, who they thought was dead. Aha, he's not and the roo makes off with the dough and Walken sends his own son to take care of things. Along the way, they meet the lovely Estella Warren and start off on their journey on farting camels.
Yes, it's a silly movie, but a good time passer if you don't have anything else to watch.

This is a stupid movie. There's nothing wrong with stupid movies. If you want to see something stupid, watch this. You will be entertained by how stupid it is. If you want to see a serious well done movie, don't watch this. You won't like it. The whole movie is just an excuse to make a cgi kangaroo. Why? I guess some crackpot thought kids would like it, and then somehow it snowballed into...this. They didn't even try to make the kangaroo cute. It's just like omg what is going on in the world everyone is crazy. Someone said let's make a movie about a cgi kangaroo, and the response was a nonchalant "sure, whatever, here's 60 mil".

wooh.......2006-09-21

Man this movie funny it keeps you goingwith laughter.Thats all ill really say.But wow it was good .Id give it 4 stars becuase jackylegs isnt in the movie too much.The movie had mature ,extermely strong sexual themes ,and language.The should of definately gotton a PG-13 Rating for languge,action violence,and some sexual content.Parents or older teens careful with younger viewers or you might regret specific content thell see and hear.

Kangaroo Krap.......2006-08-28

I saw this on a bus from Shaoxing to Hangzhou. Dubbed in Chinese with Chinese subtitles, and I was listening to THE LIVE ALBUM by The Charlie Daniels Band. I didn't need the sound to know this movie is horrible. Lemme quit editing my books and write a new one about kangaroos wearing sunglasses, and Mafia money, and funny Hollywood fat guys being funny Hollywood fat guys, and farts. Lots of farts. Shakespeare, Lu Xun, Dickens, James Joyce, Dr Seuss -- didn't they all insist on at least seven fart jokes per page?

As the title suggests, the adventurous kangaroo christened Jackie Legs by his human friends has left his Outback habitat for the United States, although not voluntarily. The humans have cleaned up their act in this animated sequel to the 2003 live-action movie. Gone are the violence and all but a smidgen of potty humor, as once again Louis puts his beloved Brooklyn jacket on the runaway Jackie. But this time the clothed marsupial is bouncing through the streets of Vegas, thanks to the smuggling plot of a smarmy animal-act proprietor. (Think a criminally minded Crocodile Hunter with a Siegfried and Roy-like show.) Louis is joined by pal Charlie and his sister Jessie in a Scooby-Doo-style effort to figure out the real crime (the smuggling of ancient Aboriginal jewels), track down Jackie, and return him to his family. Along the way there's some kickboxing, a rap number, and plenty of slapstick humor. (Ages 5 to 11) --Kimberly Heinrichs

G'DAY!!! :-D :-D :-D OHHH THIS IS SPLENDID!!!!!!!!!! :-D.......2005-10-13

HI peoples, how is things? I don't know why this Martin Score-See-and-say guy keeps making movies with all those angry guys like Robert De Nero and Joe Pessy, with all those loud, unhearable music songs. There's no need for those awful, awful "Taxi Driving", "Raging Bull", "Casinoes", and "Goodfellows" moogies when we have... oh... :-D... KANGAROO JACK 2: G'DAY USA!!! :-D :-D :-D

I foist heard about this moogie the other day at the Discount DVD Store near my daycare in Pennsylvania (!!!). The first one was sheer sinnematic BRILLIANCE! I mean the CGI! The Kangaroo RAPPING!!! :-D WHO NEEDS A SCRIPT?!?!? ANYHOO I see'd my friend Bert, moonlighting at the Discount DVD store, and I said "HEY BERT, BUENOS NACHOS!!! ;-) HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE! What kind of DVD's we gots today?" He said "Well Mervie, we got some returns on Kangaroo Jack 2."

The next thing I knew I was being kicked awake in the hopsital!!! THEY MADE A KANGAROO JACK 2?!?!? WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME?!?!? I GOT THE DVD RIGHT AWAY!!! :-D :-D :-D I showed it to my little ones! Oh my this is WONDEROUS! :-) I love it sandwiched right between VeggieTales and The Rules Of Attratcion! :-D FORGET anything with that Score-see-and-say's name on it, it's too INTRICATE AND VIOLENT!!! :-O BUT THATS OK BECAUSE KANGAROO JACK 2!!! :-D :-D :-D

I would give it FULL MARKS, but "G'Day" is improper slang, and if kids start spelling it that way as opposed to "Good Day", that is not good. But so whatux? :-D BUY IT OR YOUR KIDS WILL GO BLIND!!! :-D MERVIE!!!!!!!!

Boundless Fun.......2004-12-16

Finally, a sequel for kids! It's nice to see a child's cartoon differ from the original box office smash. The context is cleaned up enough that kids of all ages can watch without fear of what might come out of the stars' mouths.

The bonus feature showcases a live baby kangaroo making it's way up to his mama's pouch and several shots of baby kangaroos jumping in and out of their mama's pouch. Having never seen that before, I thought the video was worth purchasing for that alone. Young children will get a kick out of National Geographic's short skit.

The only drawback was the fact that they jump from the main storyline to a scene where Kangaroo Jack begins boxing and rapping. It left me bewildered, until Louis wakes up and talks about his dream. This one bit could have been saved for the bonus features. When I made the comment aloud, my 9-year-old daughter said, "Mom, it was meant to be funny; to make kids laugh. There was no purpose to it." I smiled and said, "well if they were gearing towards kids, they did it right."

1 star for only one review.......2004-12-09

This movie is very tooo fuuunnnyyy and the original version is funny to but the critic is stupid the story of this movie is very original.

Hmmm..........2004-10-30

I have a strange feeling in the bottom of my soul that this is going to suck...

Description

A zebra can't change his stripes. But maybe he can become a racehorse. The flag is up for good times when a young girl seeks to ride in a prestigious horse race...on the back of one extraordinary zebra. Saddle up with the heartwarming Racing Stripes [Side A], which includes a barnyard full of animals that say - and do! - the craziest things. And there's no stoppin' the hoppin' in Kangaroo Jack [Side B]. The chase is on when would-be mob couriers (Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson) from Brooklyn find that the $50,000 they're supposed to deliver to an Australian mobster has been swiped by one stylin' prankster of a 'roo who always stays a hip-hop ahead.
