MOVE over Skippy, there's a new marsupial in town - Kangaroo Jack.
This is a fun movie with non-stop action and side-splitting laughs for little and big kids alike.
The plot of this outback adventure sees two lifelong best friends (Charlie and Louis) sent to Australia to deliver a package by Charlie's evil mobster stepfather Sal (played by Christopher Walken), the destination a certain mysterious Mr Smith.
Everything goes according to plan until en-route they run (quite literally) into a kangaroo they affectionately call Jackie Leggs.
After dressing Jack in sunglasses and Louis's lucky baseball jacket for a photo shoot, the animal promptly hops off wearing the coat with the package (containing $50,000) stuffed in its pocket.
Mayhem ensues and the boys enlist the help of local tracker and pilot, Blue, to fly them across the outback to find the kangaroo but, unfortunately, he is also the resident alcoholic.
This film has everything, including a trio of flatulent camels.
The only downside to this down-under movie is that the star of the show, Jackie Leggs, is rarely featured.
