Kangaroo Jack
(Reviewed January 9, 2003)
-
Achingly unfunny in the way that bad sitcoms are: Loud, stupid, predictable and insultingly contrived. Even in what is supposed to be a comedy (or maybe I should say "especially in what is supposed to be a comedy"), it is impossible to believe that a couple of guys who hit a kangaroo with a Jeep would find it amusing to dress what they think is the animal's corpse in a baseball jacket and take "goofy" Polaroids of the dead creature. (PETA, start your faxes!) The kangaroo miraculously revives and hops off, still wearing the jacket, which contains $50,000 of mob money. Oh, why go on.
I saw this the day after I saw "A Guy Thing." Fearing total brain meltdown, I couldn't bear to attend a screening of "Just Married" the next night. Sorry, but there's only so much shit a guy can eat in one week.
The only thing good about "Kangaroo Jack" is seeing model/"actress" Estella Warren (the busty blond babe from my favorite Chanel No. 5 commercials) walking around looking, well, busty and blond. Her lips are so freakishly large that the shadow the top one casts looks like a John Waters mustache, but even this does not subtract from her charms--THAT'S how hot she is. Sadly, however, estrogen-charged Estella never once strips down and bounces on a trampoline while eating a banana. So much for giving the people what they want!
