Critic's review of Kangaroo Jack
View all critics' reviews (3)
- Simple-minded farce about stupid people that is a familiar mixture of crass and tasteless jokes and broad slapstick; it has all the subtlety and humour of a punch on the nose.

  Surprisingly good
  
  Really enjoyed this and I didn't expect to. Not many movies make me laugh anymore (yet in real life I'm always laughing!) so hadn't any high hopes. ... read more »

  Not as funny as i had expected!
  
  This is a good family film but not as funny as i thought it would be. The funniest parts are those advertised in previous trailers.

  Jumping Jack!
  
  This film was really funny except that this film was supposed to be about Jack but it barely was. But I think everyone else would like it like I did.
