In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

RELEASED IN 2003 and directed by David McNally, "Kangaroo Jack" is a family-friendly adventure/comedy about two Brooklyn friends (Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson) who are commissioned by a mob boss (Christopher Walken) to deliver $50,000 to a shady character in the Outback. The operation goes awry when a kangaroo inadvertently runs off with one of the guys' jacket... and the money. Michael Shannon is on hand as a mob heavy.This is a likable, amusing adventure flick with the typical eye-rolling kid humor (e.g. fart jokes). It's fun, harmless hokum highlighted by spectacular Australian cinematography and the beautiful Estella Warren as an Outback preservationist. The humorous camaraderie of the protagonists is another highpoint. But the story isn't as compelling as I hoped it would be and the camera never really captures Estella's beauty beyond her lovely face and pulchritude.THE FILM RUNS 1 hour, 29 minutes and was shot in Australia and Brooklyn with reshoots done in Los Angeles.GRADE: C+

Kangaroo Jack is god. If you dare slander his name, i promise you pain without end. Kangaroo Jack is the greatest movie to be created by Warner Bros. One of my personal favorite scenes is when they are in the toilet and it sounds like their talking about poop when they're talking about money haha 10/10

Kangaroo Jack is nothing more than a very silly little farce about a kangaroo who makes off with The Mob's dough.This film is super-lightweight comedy. And, it is basically unremarkable, despite some truly funny moments that pop up once in a while.As the story tediously rolls along - Two childhood buds (one a dreamer, the other a mob boss's stepson) must retrieve the long-gone cash from the speedy marsupial before consequences escalate out of control and take a real ugly turn for the worst.Warning! - The scatological humour in this flick in greatly overdone. And, once again, flatulence is repeatedly mistaken for laughing gas.

I know...ten stars seems excessive, but this is one of the funniest movies that I've ever seen. Top five. I'm watching this movie as I write this. I've seen it a couple of times, and I swear it gets better every time I see it. It only got one star out of four, which is the worst it can possibly get, and I understand that...really, it is not the most intelligent movie in the world. However, if you feel like kicking back and relaxing, you feel like watching a movie that doesn't provoke thought or discussion, you feel like laughing hysterically, this movie's for you. I'll admit that the entire premise of this movie is dumb, but it's funny, genuinely funny, and I love it.
