Kangaroo Jack (2003)
Cheap shots about epilepsy further mar an otherwise bad film
21 January 2003 - 8 out of 13 users found this review helpful.
Whatever redeeming features this movie may have (and it is arguable whether such features exist) are negated by the gratuitous and tasteless way in which the characters make fun of a person with epilepsy.
People with epilepsy struggle constantly to overcome misconceptions about their disease. Consider a young kid that has to deal with peers making fun of them in the classroom on a regular basis, and consider how this movie makes matters worse by portraying (mostly to kids) epilepsy as something to laugh at.
