What the heck is this Kangaroo Movie?

I keep seeing an ad for Kangaroo Jack, perhaps the stupidest movie ever; and evertime I see it, I am left with one burning question: WHY? Why do we need to see a movie about a talking Kangaroo which I guess stole money from Jerry O'Connell and the guy from Barbershop??

I mean, this movie looks terrible, if it were a talking animal movie aimed at kids it would be one thing, but its being marketed as a "hip" talking animal movie for teens!?

What is going on in Hollyweird?

Note: this is not a comment about this thread, but a comment about the film.

And no - I haven't seen it.

Let the barbs and arrows begin.

I'm still trying to figure out why there's sensuality in it...



Two guys. The outback. A kangaroo.

I was kinda assuming (yes, I gave the film a seconds thought) that this had a talking kangaroo the same way Snow Dogs had talking dogs, in a dream like sequence. If I remember one of the previews, they guy looks dazed or something and "imagines" the kangaroo rapping. But then again, I could be wrong.

I can't believe i wated this much time typing about this movie.

I don't care if the kanagroo actually talks, or if that was a dream/LSD flashback/crack head trip/whatever where the kangaroo was singing. I just wish I never had to endure that trailer at all, now it has ruined two previously good songs for me.

Shhh. Shhh. Shhh.

Next time use spoiler tags please.

I don't want my enjoyment of "Rapping Thief Kangaroo 2: Electric Boogaloo" to be sullied.

You know, I really hated how they show the fat black guy vastly overacting while describing the problem. Then I realized something-- he was doing it just about exactly how Lou Costello would have explained something similar to Abbott. But I'm not willing to call Abbott and Costello crap. So what's the difference? (rhetorical question)

Color film.

As everyone knows, color film was the death of art in cinema.

Seriously.

Well, Estella Warren is in it, too. The only problem is her choices of who to be sensual with!

Oh yeah, the man who gave us Flashdance 2 AKA "Coyote Ugly". A movie which taught me that the only way to reach my dreams of writing crappy music to dance on a bar and sleep with a dishwasher/aspiring photographer

Well from what I can see its about those 2 or 3 guys/gal??? That think they killed a Kangaroo (hitting it with their truck I assume) as a funny prank they dress him up in their jacket (that has $50,000 in the pockets????? WTF?) And when their are going to take a picture of the funny kangaroo in the jacket ha ha, the Kangaroo regains conciousness and runs off with their money. The halarity insues.

From the previews, it looks to be like one long coyote/roadrunner cartoon, except not as entertaining.

I think if one of the characters has a gun, this movie should be a rather short film.

Regardless, someone would have to drag my dead or unconscious body for me to sit through a movie featuring a rapping kangaroo.
