What to Know

Critics Consensus

The humor is gratingly dumb, and Kangaroo Jack contains too much violence and sexual innuendo for a family movie.

Of course this American-made, Australian-set caper comedy is ten tonnes of terrible. How could it not be? Go to Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review 08/07/2008

Duante X H @Duante2026 5d The Best Movie Ever See more Anuj M @anudoon2004 Dec 16 I am really gonna put this movie on my top list. I dont know why people has rated this movie as 1 star because for me this movie deserves a 5 + star rating. I saw this movie today because I am an Indian and I am a Bollywood movie lover but I think our review matters because I come from a country which have world's 15% population and thats a big number and I think most of the Indians gonna love this movie as well and if they do rate this movie then I am sure this rating gonna improve more. Thanks to Netflix for putting this movie on their platform. Yes. this movie is awesome., you talk about kids, language, different things. People who talk like this, they should first try and stop the technology because if kids have to see any of that stuff its easily available on the net now a days in any country. Now talking about this movie. 5 stars to all the Actors and Director and full team of this movie. Its a complete family movie. Full of entertainment for everyone. Awesome...... See more Nicole H Mar 24 I'm not sure who this movie is made for other than me. It's too mature for kids but too childish for adults. Despite that it was one of my favs growing up. Thankfully my parents never cared about things being child friendly. See more Patrick P Feb 25 This movie is great balance of humor, romance, and bromance. Everyone needs to watch this move in the year 2025. God Bless See more Jonathan O 10/08/2024 This is a huge waste of time we see two friends on the run from the mob of the money and then we get to see a talking Kangaroo Jack in one scene and that's it including Kangaroo Jack's outtakes as a bonus credits and bad camera work and editing. See more Andy S 10/07/2024 The "professional" reviews of this film all seem to have the same flaw - this film doesn't take itself seriously because it isn't supposed to be serious. The only thing that matters is that its silly, fun, and was a good time to watch in the cinema. The only way to find yourself not enjoying films like this is to go in expecting more.
