Hi, I only rarely write reviews and only for films that I think are rated very wrong, and this is one of them. This film is much BETTER than what I was expecting.
The two central characters are very true to character in their bumbling ways. The leading lady is absolutely gorgeous. There are some genuine comic moments in the film, the chase scenes are good and the dramatic cliff scene at the end kept my kids on the edge of the seats. The plot is nice and tidy and has no loose ends at the end. The story moves along at a nice pace, the relationships between the characters are explained and I was left thinking, what a good kids film for kids 8 and above (Too many men with guns for the littlest ones).
The kangaroo has only a little to do with the story. The animated kangaroo jumped very realistically though and thankfully, they didn't make it into a talking kangaroo (except in a dream sequence).
All in all, 7 out of 10, way above the average of 4.
