Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, best known for brainless action
movies has a rare foray into brainless comedy and slapstick for this no-brainer trash, too stupid for adults and unsuitable for young kids.
A
pair of petty crooks from Brooklyn chase a kangaroo that's stolen a package meant for a gangster around the Australian desert. The kangaroo just so happens to be smarter than the hapless
pair.
At the turn of the new millennium, Jerry O'Connell seemed to
be the only member of the "Stand By Me" quartet still making movies, but he can't be too proud of that- every single one of them was a pile of excrement!
