i'm just overjoyed that it beat martin lawrence's movie! both obviously suck (but they are january movies!) but i cant stand ML. if he does one more cop film i think i'll scream. it has to be such an ego-downer for him to lose to such crap though!

Let me say that there was a time that I would have enjoyed a film like Kangaroo Jack when I was six as well. No doubt I would have kicked myself for doing so 15 years down the road. However, I never watched films like Kangaroo Jack because my parents refused to take me to stuff like that, and I thank them for it.
That's what's wrong with today's audiences, they gladly embrace anything that will keep the kids quiet for a few hours. Case in point: back when I was a kid Transformers:The Movie bombed, even though it had a large enough fan base to sell tickets, just not enough parents willing to take the kids. About a decade or so later, Pokemon the movie rakes it in, while back in the day TV show movies flopped. Go figure.

Don't know how you could confuse 'em though...one's funny, the other's Leno. 
I agree. In the evenings I "watch" late night TV while doing other things (usually involving e-mail, online forums, etc) while I just listen to the television.... and I rearely (if ever) listen to Leno I wonder what other latenight talkshow made fun of the film...
hmmm......

I'm recently finding Jon Stewart's show to be funnier than the others. ALthough I've loved watching Letterman since the 80s
