3/5
It’s the usual "fish out of water" stuff, but Kangaroo’s sincerity carries it through nevertheless. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 1d
3/5
Kangaroo works like gangbusters as a refreshingly earnest throwback to the salad says of the animal buddy comedy. Go to Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out 2d
3/5
Unfussily directed by Kate Woods with an eye for spectacular Outback landscapes and the extraordinary quality of light, Kangaroo is a gentle crowd-pleaser. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 1d
3/5
The genuinely involving tale would have been more than enough without adding a villain and climactic peril, both of which are barely half-baked. Still, there are plenty of lively characters and cuddly joeys to keep us happy. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Jan 1
3.5/5
While the script is littered with predictable beats, pratfalls and pee gags, at least Harry Cripps’ redemption tale provides something of a fresh spin on the traditional Doc Hollywood/Cars/Groundhog Day conceit. Go to Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Oct 2
3.5/5
A beautiful family film that manages to take its audience on an emotional journey. You'll laugh, you'll cry but more importantly you'll learn a valuable lesson that will have you re-evaluating your own life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
