    Once titled, Down & Under, the movie, Kangaroo Jack follows two best friends, played by Jerry O’Connell and Anthony Anderson on an adventure through the Australian outback. This comedic duo finds trouble quicker than trouble can find them. Their seemingly endless search for the Kangaroo, “Jackie Legs,” makes for a fun-filled journey, that children are sure to enjoy. Although O’Connell and Anderson could definitely be considered an Abbot & Costello of 2003, they are upstaged by the terrific incorporation of the Kangaroo. Families will surely love the film, as there is something for everyone. The potty humor does not go too far and the love scenes are G-Rated. It is my hope that this film performs well, if for nothings else, but to see Jerry O’Connell and Anthony Anderson get another opportunity to show off their obvious chemistry and perhaps get a photo op on one of the promotional posters!
