Kangaroo Jack - Based on an amusing urban legend, this is about two NY City pals, played by Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson, who put a jacket on a kangaroo and end up in a wild chase to get back the jacket, and the cash inside it, before they get fried on the bar-b by the mob. If you're looking for a wild, slap-stick adventure, Kangaroo Jack jumps into theaters January 17, 2003.
