Leave your thoughts about Kangaroo Jack.
| Village VoiceJoe McGovernVirtually every shot of the kangaroo was digitally created, and perhaps that was an insurance policy masterstroke. Forcing a real live one to act opposite these co-stars could have easily constituted animal cruelty. |
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollJack is reminiscent of such films as Short Circuit, The Monster Squad and the Don Knotts vehicles of the late Sixties - certainly not the most well constructed pieces of entertainment, but endearing nevertheless. |
| Movie EyeFrank OchiengIf it sounds bad, that's because it is, but reading about it can't even come close to the experience of actually watching it. |
| Jam! MoviesLouis B. HobsonThe bopping, socking marsupial hero of Kangaroo Jack packs quite a comic wallop. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterA movie that encapsulates all that is vulgar, stupid and repellent about the Hollywood mind-set. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe kangaroo is devoid of charm, as are the actors, who have the chemistry of fingernails on a blackboard. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA weird combination of Jerry Bruckheimer action flick and cartoonish kiddie movie...far too flimsy and formulaic a farce to linger in anybody's memory very long. |
| CitysearchRoss BrooksThe film has a lively bounce, brisk pacing and a sense of humor that younger viewers can appreciate. |
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntIs it great? No. But it's a good movie for the whole family to lighten up a bit. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThis is a a simple-minded comedy of errors in which a lot of errors are made, but few of them are truly comedic. |
