Kangaroo Jack

[Drew who hates Kangaroo Jack]

From what I have seen in the previews, this movie appears to be about a group of three young adults that have the unfortunate accident of hit and presumably killing a defenseless Kangaroo.  For fun, (because they are sick and twisted young minds) they decide to dress this apparently dead kangaroo in a hooded sweat shirt.  For some unexplainable reason (the previews fail to describe where it came from) these people have $50,000.  It is in an envelope inside one of the pockets of this hooded sweat shirt.  After the boys have a few laughs, the kangaroo suddenly awakens from his unconsious state, proceeds to kick one of these people in the face and then escapes.  After the shock wears off, one of the boys realizes their mistake in making a joke out of this poor kangaroo.  The money is in the sweat shirt, that is on the kangaroo.  Now, I understand the desire of these people to try and get their money back, but why even bother.  $50,000 isn't even that much money these days.  When you think about it, 15 minutes spent on a stupid game show these days could make you a millionaire.  Why risk life and limb over a lousy 50 grand.  I'll tell you why.  BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT PRODUCED THIS MOVIE ARE f**kING IDIOTS!!!

I hope that this film proves to be the lostest earning movie ever to hit the theaters.  I expect that after one week of being released, the producers will find that it is more expensive for them to show this movie than it is to remove it from the theaters.  This would prove that America is not full of the idiots we find in Hollywood.

Good movies with talking animals---

i agree about the whole rappers delight thing.

Same situation in the Wedding Singer when the old lady breaks down into Rappers Delight,

what are movie producers smoking these days.  (possibly some good ole crakc cocaine to clear their heads)

Oh man. CATS AND DOGS. I hated that movie because I am a feline lover and so are many people that i know who agree with me. And I think it shows the political bias in Hollywood these days. Why did the cats have to be the bad guys (better yet, why did one of them have to be "evil " in the first place)? I sure don't here about kitties mauling peole to death, do you?

A jacket-wearing kangaroo? Well sure, I could have come up with that idea if I were stoned! When I first saw the TV spot for KANGAROO JACK, I thought I was drunk. But after the spot was over, I quickly realized that I didn't drink at all and knew it was just the spot itself. This just proves that the good ideas are stuck in the independent rut while the stupid ones get bankrolled like crazy. Hollywood is close to downfall, and I can't wait to see that happen.

But the fact that producer Jerry Bruckheimer is behind this attrocity is not a suprise. This is the same hack that produced the crap-fests ARMAGEDDON, CON AIR, GONE IN 60 SECONDS, and PEARL HARBOR. I could cut him some slack for BLACK HAWK DOWN, but I felt that film was so-so and not up to all the hype! Something tells me Bruckheimer must have snapped, BIG TIME!

When I see a movie like this is greenlighted, it makes me wonder why I'm not in Hollywood coming up with crappy ideas for movies.   Apparently, I was under the delusion that it took hard work and talent to get a movie made.   I guess I'm way too naive for my own good.

I can't believe this was the #1 movie at the box office this weekend...I know the competition is slim, but still.....Jeez.....

*Weeps at the realization that people are actually going to see this movie*  Those poor people.........

The bait and switch marketing campaign worked and kids actually got suckered into believing that this movie was about a rapping kangaroo.

Jerry O'Connell was on E! Thursday or Friday and said the inspiration for the movie was an urban legend about someone hitting a kangaroo with a car and putting a jacket on it to take a picture, blah blah blah. Never heard of this urban legend; I have heard of people taking pictures of roadkill, but who dresses the thing first?

My mouth hit the floor when I saw this was #1 over the weekend, what little faith I had in mankind and taste has vanished. Then again, "The Hot Chick" is still playing in my town, and we only have two theaters with ten screens total.

The crap merchants win again..........
