Reviews

Despite its premise, 'Kangaroo Jack' falls flat with critics and audiences alike. IMDb rates the movie with a low score of 4.5/10 while Metacritic gives it a dismal rating of 16/100. The film is criticized for its lackluster plot, questionable humor, and reliance on tired stereotypes. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as 'a misguided attempt at family-friendly adventure that misses the mark'. Some viewers find the film's stereotypical portrayal of Australia and its over-the-top humor to be off-putting. However, there are a few who appreciate the film's light-hearted tone and the chemistry between the two leads, Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson. Overall, 'Kangaroo Jack' struggles to make a lasting impression and is considered by many as a forgettable entry in the comedy genre.
