Kangaroo Jack

Overall Rating of the Movie (1=terrible, 10=fantastic) - 2 

What I Liked About the Movie

The scenes that featured the talking, computer-generated roo were the only ones worth watching.

What I Disliked About the Movie

I found this movie to be extremely inappropriate for children and am amazed that it received only a PG rating.

My Child's Reaction to the Movie

The boys (eight and eleven) that I took to see Kangaroo Jack thought that the movie was okay. Of course, they liked the crude humor, but were embarrassed by the sexual references, of which there are too many.

Age Range I Recommend for this Movie - 14
