Along the way they will hook up with a cute female tour guide for the Outback who Charlie has the hots for as they search the Outback for the troublesome Kangaroo.
I blame this movie on television, as lately it seems like the Nickelodeon station as well as the Disney Channel have been churning out what I like to refer to as garbage TV. These shows are brainless, idiotic impersonations of comedy and are not funny in the least. This movie seemed like it should have been one of their shows or one of their movies as it was just as god awful and just as stupid and I felt myself growing dumber just for watching it. The producers must think that the entire country has the attention span of a bunch of twelve year olds as they do not even care to try anything that might be considered as sophisticated humor instead pleasuring them self in one horrible crude and lame joke after another. I also have to wonder if the person who came up with the premise for this movie is on some type of hallucinogenic drug that actually made him think that this movie could possibly be funny. I would be disgusted to release this movie as a straight to video release or even as a made for TV movie as it was a horrible. The worst part is I don’t think that they care that they are ruining the minds of youth with such drivel as they laugh themselves to the bank. The movie is crude, the movie is stupid, the movie is a horrible waste of time and you will never get the hour and half back they steal of your life as they laugh themselves silly straight to the bank
