Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 22h
It’s generic stuff -- the adorable redemption arc is as predictable as the boxing kangaroo comedy interlude. But it’s a wholesome, likeable option for younger audiences, and a refreshingly human alternative to machine-tooled studio offerings. Go to Full Review Linda Marric The Sun (UK) 4d
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 4d
3/5
Kangaroo works like gangbusters as a refreshingly earnest throwback to the salad says of the animal buddy comedy. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times 1h
3/5
Weaving in a seamless mix of real, animatronic and - for muscly bruiser "Roger" - CGI kangaroos, Woods's mildly cheering feel-good fable generates just enough gentle charm to soften your cynicism. Go to Full Review Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) 19h
3/5
Kangaroo is an engaging, bittersweet and indeed bouncy tale. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 4d
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 Read all reviews
