TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

nevadaluke This is a great way to spend 90 minutes watching a movie with your kid.The comedy is broad and lighthearted, the child actors are cheery and enjoyable to watch and the mother, played by Rebecca Gibney, is a sympathetic and well-crafted character.It's not often a baby kangaroo shows up in an animal movie, and this one (or however many played the part of Joey) is deployed with plenty of charm.I might also add that this was an especially fine turn for Miss McKenna, who comes across as lovable without being the least bit annoying.And, thankfully, the Australian accents by the actors from down under were also softened for the American ear. I, for one, find that the harshest Aussie accents are among the most painful sounds made by the human voice.I give this a strong recommendation -- it's easy to find on the Netflix instant queue.

curst_saden So this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It put me into a Kangaroo and Australia phase for a while. Now that I'm older I watched some of it and I realize it's definitely more of a kid's movie. There's nothing wrong with that, there are many kids movies that are really good, but adults probably won't have much reason to watch this one without kids present. The acting is OK, I realize now that the music is ridiculous (but perfect for the movie) and there are some scenes that are kinda silly or campy. There may be one or two things I would understand better if I was an Australian.Long story short it's an OK movie in the eyes of an adult but it is AMAZING in the eyes of a kid.

IMDb_wanderer I saw this movie three years ago and thought it was terrible. The kid follows a group of thugs from the bush to Sydney, hooks up with the daughter of the new US ambassador to Australia, and it basically goes silly from then on. The scene where he goes with her to get diplomatic immunity was unrealistic, due to the fact that the boy (I refuse to say his name) is not American, and would be turfed out in a second, while the American girl gets immunity. Also, the end of the movie is also stupid, with the thugs turning out to be brainless.If you want to watch it and find it funny, switch off all touches with actual reality, and it may become enjoyable.

sammyfitch Do not look at the cover, do not read the back, avoid this movie like the plague! The story is horrendous, everytime the kid mentions his dad lightning flickers in the backround, which is extremely fake. It is a pointless, stupid, absurd movie which should of never of been made. Watch this movie solely if you're in the mood for a comedy.
