True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is a great way to spend 90 minutes watching a movie with your kid.The comedy is broad and lighthearted, the child actors are cheery and enjoyable to watch and the mother, played by Rebecca Gibney, is a sympathetic and well-crafted character.It's not often a baby kangaroo shows up in an animal movie, and this one (or however many played the part of Joey) is deployed with plenty of charm.I might also add that this was an especially fine turn for Miss McKenna, who comes across as lovable without being the least bit annoying.And, thankfully, the Australian accents by the actors from down under were also softened for the American ear. I, for one, find that the harshest Aussie accents are among the most painful sounds made by the human voice.I give this a strong recommendation -- it's easy to find on the Netflix instant queue.

So this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It put me into a Kangaroo and Australia phase for a while. Now that I'm older I watched some of it and I realize it's definitely more of a kid's movie. There's nothing wrong with that, there are many kids movies that are really good, but adults probably won't have much reason to watch this one without kids present. The acting is OK, I realize now that the music is ridiculous (but perfect for the movie) and there are some scenes that are kinda silly or campy. There may be one or two things I would understand better if I was an Australian.Long story short it's an OK movie in the eyes of an adult but it is AMAZING in the eyes of a kid.

I wasn't expecting to much from this film on a Sunday afternoon with rain etc. but I was quite surprised. The concept of character saves animals is definitely not original, but I feel the film competes quite well with some of the films that can slip out from Australia. After seeing it once or twice it gets a little tedious, and so do the jokes, even if the film was slightly out of my age group. But the first time I watched it I laughed a little. Even though I had not heard of many actors in the film (if any, given my knowledge on Australian films & TV), they all seemed to be comfortable in their roles. Let's face it, it was never going to be a big successful movie, but I think, given the time, it could definitely help fill up a rainy day.

Do not look at the cover, do not read the back, avoid this movie like the plague! The story is horrendous, everytime the kid mentions his dad lightning flickers in the backround, which is extremely fake. It is a pointless, stupid, absurd movie which should of never of been made. Watch this movie solely if you're in the mood for a comedy.
