What Parents Need to Know
About Kangaroo Jack
Parents need to know that the DVD cover suggests that a funny kangaroo is a large part of the movie, but it's a brief highlight that appears only in a fantasy sequence. The movie has a great deal of material parents might consider inappropriate for children, including peril, violence and gunplay, a stepfather who orders his stepson killed, drinking to excess seen as impressive, drinking portrayed as a way to cope with problems, violence, potty humor, and a co-ed swim in underwear that leads to kissing. There's a sexist joke and the black character is portrayed in "sidekick" terms with no interest in having any kind of independent life or relationships. The "happy" ending is somewhat sour as the only character who had been doing something to contribute to improving the world appears to have abandoned that completely for a life of hedonistic pleasure.

i hated this movie
my mom turned off this movie because of a passionate scene it really was not appropriate should of been PG-13 adults do not let your kids see this
- I rate this title on for age 11 and give it
This was a great film with a couple of bad jokes.
Sexual:Thinking a hot woman is a mirage a man places his hands on her breasts and exclaims "They feel so real!" Mild homosexual jokes. Violence: People held at gunpoint. Fiery Crash. No one killed. Language: 4=A** 5=God's Name in vain Drugs: After their car get's destroyed Charlie & Louis drown themselves at a bar. If only they had left out some of the jokes and bad words and this could've been a wholesome family film that was funny.

Absolutely hilarious- but should have been PG-13
This is a greatly funny movie, but it has quite a bit of adult content, including jokes about homosexuality and disabilities.

Why Such A Bad Rating?
It is as good family movie and I didn't think that it should have gotten such poor ratings. The rapping kangaroo part was dumb, but overall it was original and a pretty good movie. Besides it was funny.

you could actually lose brain cells watching this movie
This is one of those movies where you leave wanting your money back -- and the time you wasted sitting through it and the time you will waste trying to tell your kids that entertainment can actually have an uplifting moment or two. This movie should only be shown to kids who are home sick and won't remember that they saw it. Yuck

This movie was funny, but that's not saying it was great.....
This movie is for kids ages 7-12. I think kids will like it, but the adults might have a different idea about it. A movie to see only once or twice.
