Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Kangaroo Jack: G'Day USA! is a goofy 2004 animated movie about a kangaroo who is captured by poachers and sent to perform in Las Vegas, where he instead wreaks all kinds of slapsticky havoc. While mostly silly, the humor does skew toward obnoxiousness -- with food fights, kangaroo boxing, and audible, odorous, and ill-timed flatulence. While the plight of exotic animals captured by poachers is shown in this movie, this is mostly a lighthearted caper jam-packed with pratfalls and some cartoonish violence in the form of kicking kangaroos and characters knocking out other characters with frying pans.
