Kangeroo or otherwise known as The Australian Story is a dreary, unmemorable and monotonous mid-day movie type film.
With no likeable characters, an unfocused plot and weak performances. Even Maureen O'Hara who was wonderful in "Miracle on 34th Street," adds nothing positive here. There are bits and pieces of Australia and a representation of the harsh landscape. One of the main characters has a throw of two-up, an Aussie gambling pastime, but the scene's so brief, that it wouldn't captivate anyone. The plot sort of just tapers away and ends poorly, including a whip fighting scene out of some ridiculous kung fu film. Two thumbs down.
