Satisfying Slapstick

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.

A classic example of Australian humor

This is a great example of Australian humor which is prevalent throughout the movie.

With less known names such as Jamie Croft ("The Real Macaw") and Richard Moir ("Round the Twist"),this movie is bound to be enjoyed by those who appreciate and understand the Australian culture, and more importantly, the humor.

Although a couple of Americans appear in this film, they fit in well with the storyline, which is presented as them being introduced to the Australian way of life, which makes a nice change from the usual attempts which American film makers make to put an Australian spin on what is essentially an American film, mostly unsuccessfully. Being made by an Australian film company and including Americans, this movie simply works.

The storyline is consistent and demonstrates perfectly a true Steve Irwin style approach to animal activism and conservation, in this case, the protection of Australia's most well known animal icon: the kangaroo. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in Australian movies, movies about animals and movies about conservation. But most of all, those who enjoy a good laugh and appreciate the uniqueness of Australian humor.
