      kangaroo

      I watched TV with my mother on the third day of the new year. When I first saw the film, I didn't know the name. I was only attracted by the twilight scenery and Charlie's fun dreams.
      Then I googled it, and it turned out to be "Money Grabbing Kangaroo". A
      lighthearted and humorous one Movies.

      Mirage, Kiss under the Waterfall, Prairie, Camel, Sunset, Cute Kangaroo Jack and Violent Little Jack... Fits all my retirement dreams.. Unfortunately, except Xinjiang, probably can't...

    Behind the scenes gags

    During filming, the crew also used mechanical camels.
    In order to shoot the scene in Sydney where Charlie and Louis evade police tracking on the streets of Brooklyn, the crew brought eight New York taxis, multiple...

    Evaluation action

    "Kangaroo Jack" is a film full of dirty jokes and scenes of exaggerated violence. Many European and American film critics gave the film a very low evaluation, and the main consideration was also the film's low "moral index". (NetEase Entertainment Review) 
    Lively, with tension and twists, the film is a laugh-out-loud comedy. (CCTV-6 Movie Channel Review) 
    It's a well-thought-out comedy movie. (Yangtze Evening News...)
