Author: Tdi7457 from Canada

Two friends from Brooklyn (O'Connell and Anderson) are forced to deliver mob money to Australia. Their misadventures begin when one of them places his red jacket on a kangaroo while attempting to snap a picture. When the kangaroo bounces off, they realize the mob money is in the jacket and are forced to give chase through the Outback. When took it out of the DVD player i thought:"Did i like it or did it just become another failure?". Then I decided it was neither because it is just right in between: AVERAGE!.My advice is to see it but i am very sure you'll be confused at the end trying to like it or hate it. Kangaroo Jack 7/10
