Critic Reviews

Mike Clark

Jumps at chance to be silly. Read full review

Ty Burr

Will parents be able to sit through Kangaroo Jack without plunging sharp sticks into their eyes? The short answer? Yes. Barely. Read full review

Loren King

The film's crude humor and violence -- cartoonish, but still violent -- should offend parents of younger kids. Yet its ultra-broad, pratfall-filled comedy will satisfy only the most indiscriminate teens. Read full review

Carla Meyer

Lame comedy. Read full review

Jon Strickland

Bruckheimer shifts from high-concept historical romance "Pearl Harbor" and high-concept T&A "Coyote Ugly" to a first attempt at high-concept light comedy, yet only his fondness for dragging acting talent down with him carries over. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Straight from the fiery, churning bowels of high-concept hell comes Kangaroo Jack, Bruckheimer's idea of kid-friendly fare, and some of the longest 90 minutes ever committed to film. Read full review

Joe McGovern

Virtually 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. Read full review

This is the single greatest stoner movie of all time. Just after it came out i was a major stoner, and me and my mate would watch this movie every weekend. We loved it. god bless you kangaroo jack, i might have kicked the habit, but the memories will last a life time.

This is a SEVERELY underated film. The acting is great, the plot is pretty decent and the jokes are belly-achingly funny. I don't care what the god-damn critics say, WATCH THIS FILM or else you will regret it.

I'm shocked that a 4 out of 10 is "mixed," because "Kangaroo Jack" is bad. Just your typical poorly written, unfunny, poorly-acted live-action CGI hybrid film that might not even be good enough for kids, considering the jokes told in the movie.

If you're having a "Bad Movie Night," "Kangaroo Jack" could be a little bit of fun (it's not a complete abomination to cinema), but otherwise, you're better exploring other options, regardless of whether or not you're a kid or an adult.… Expand

Юмор прямиком из заднего прохода, тупые персонажи, шаблонные ситуации, сомнительного качества графика.
Плохая комедия, не смешная, не интересная. Не смотрите.

Everything, and I mean everything about this movie is terrible. How this lazy trash was ever green lit will always remain a mystery.
