Various comments < 2005[edit]

Not exactly sure I'm doing this right, but I think Zoe's comment about how this movie was received and ultimately rejected by parents should be included in the Critical Response section. That was a big part of the film's reception at the time and there are still plenty of references online to this event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.75.237 (talk) 00:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The local library had a copy so I watched this idiotic movie,

but, I am curious about the beautiful waterfalls shown for a few minutes.

 Are they in Australia? If so where?

Movie makers patch stuff from all around the world, so they might be in Africa.

Todd river was mentioned, and photos at an Aussie site of Todd river look similar to what I saw in the movie. Jimmyreno (talk) 02:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bit late to the party but I'm pretty sure the water falls are outside Katherine in the northern Territory. After finishing filming in Alice a small crew headed out there to get some more shots. 80.189.125.130 (talk) 17:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Was this movie really high-grossing? It seriously looked like quite possibly the shittiest movie I could ever have guessed existed... why on earth did people pay money for something that insults the intelligence of Australians, African-Americans, Caucasians, rappers, kangaroos, the desert, etc... (this is the movie I'm thinking of, right? With the kangaroo that steals money from some fat black guy and the guy from Sliders?) I guess I kind of assumed it bombed -- I know I'm kinda out of touch on a lot of things, but seriously... Even my mom agreed it looked terrible, and she likes anything with animals. Tokerboy

It was the number one movie of the week for, fortunately, only one week. The problem was the false advertising which made a lot of parents think it was a family movie. When it turned out not to be, word of mouth killed it quickly. -- Zoe

That just reinforces the point of the my eternal question: Imagine how many people actually approved that movie? How many people read the script and/or saw the final product and said "yes, this is a good movie. This is not a sign of the Apocalypse". I bet a hundred people gave this the go-ahead.

Well, Jerry Bruckheimer executive produced it, and after Con Air and the two CSI shows, he can do no wrong in Hollywood. Till Kangaroo Jack. -- Zoe

Added comedy film stub. I hold someone can expand this. It's a funny movie of children and adults. Psy Guy 16:44, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed Synopsis[edit]

I revised the synopsis a bit because it contained spelling errors, needless comments (such as adding that Charlie "sexually harassed" Jesse, sure he did but he didn't know, and must we really be THAT pc by putting that on the plot description?) and was vandalized. I had already corrected the spelling errors before, but some goof put them all back to their incorrect form. I have an automatic spell checker on my browser, so yes I'm sure the old was incorrect and mine were correct. Just wanted to let the editor and anyone else know what was up with the big change.-- PokeFan2006

I've removed it. It's quite difficult to follow and doesn't really add anything. The existing "Plot" section describes the plot adequately. --Tony Sidaway 19:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The existing Plot summary is far longer and more detailed than Wikipedia standards, and probably should be trimmed down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.220.164.125 (talk) 20:08, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
