Even though this movie looks bad, and probably is.............


i'm pretty sure it will make alot of money. It's mostly aimed at kids, and when tkids see the trailer, they will think it looks cool. My neice already wants me to take her to see it *shudder*, and I told her absolutly not, but I have a feeling I may be sitting in the movie theatre cringing pretty soon.

Especially the ones amused by anything. Remember being around second graders who were amused by a simple fart? That's all it'll take for kids like that to go see crap like this.

This movie just looks awful and I don't think you should take your neice to see it ever. Rent the video and just do something else (don't leave the house) for an hour and a half.

I suggest to all of you self-conscious movie lovers out there to GO OUT AND DESTORY THIS MOVIE!! Go to the theaters and protest! Vandalize merchandise of the movie!! Deface posters you see around!!! STAND IN FRONT OF THE THEATER DOOR AND NOT LET ANYONE IN. This reign of bile has to stop immediately, and we're the only ones who are willing to do anything about it!! JOIN ME MY BROTHERS! Together we shall FIGHT!! MWAH!!! DEATH TO THE FILM! DEATH TO THE PRODUCER!!! DEATH TO THE DIRECTOR!!!! Kill them all!

I don't understand why so many people here hate this movie. I thought it was a great movie. If you guys have nothing better to do than to trash a movie just because you are grown ups and are not opening your minds to this kind of a movie, is pathetic. I've seen it once and am considering going again when it goes to the dollar theaters...(I'm a poor college senior) Thank you very much...and good luck you kangaroo haters!

you tell 'em eagl0021. This movie rocked, from my point of view. I mean a dancing Kangaroo who steals money isn't the greatest idea, and every time i saw him during the movie i wanted to crack his head open and feast on the goo that dwelled inside!....Anyways BESIDES the few kangaroo parts the movie was great.

You guys are totally forgetting one thing about this movie. It wasn't made to be a good time, that isn't the purpose of the film. It was made to make money. That is the only reason Jerry Bruckheimer produced this film to get it this far. I know this can be said about pretty much all films, but this one, like the people who liked the movie said, isn't meant to be artistic, it's meant to be fun for the kids. So the kids will see the trailers and drag their parents to go see it. Kids equal money, not just with the movie either, but merchandise. Hollywood (or at least the movie companies, Dreamworks excluded) just care about how they can get at adults pocket books, and they found a great way which they have been using for probably the past 50 years. To get at us through our kids, we can't say no to them. And I'm not saying we should, I'm just dissapointed that the movie companies won this battle and are making a *beep* load of money from it. But they aren't getting my money, I don't have to add to that, and I'm definitely not going to.
So the main reason I'm not going to see it (though not the only one) is because the people making and producing this movie are getting enough millions of dollars for creating this easy as hell movie to make without me shelling out my ten or twenty bucks to see it. Everytime we go to the movies, we are supporting that movie. We're supporting that movie company, that director, script writer, producer, and that movie theater. I just get extra careful of what I support and what I don't.
