A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I just can't understand what people find to hate about this movie. Personally, I love it, but even then, everyone I've shown it to at least enjoy it, and mostly really like it.The bench mark test is the first ten minutes of the film. If you don't laugh during that, (and with as many silly references and witty wordplay you should) you won't during the rest of the film, because the humor stays at that same level.The comedy is quick, witty, and just as silly as the original Rocky and Bullwinkle show. The plot is complicated and keeps you guessing. And the surprise ending is brilliant.In all, this is an incredibly underrated little film; if you like the original show you would be in a sorry state not to catch this movie.

that's not saying much.made with less than 1/100th of what was spent on the mega-disaster, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle.It's not a great film by far, but it's certainly enjoyable at times.I liked it, I'll even occasionally play the video, while I'm working on something, but i can't recommend it because it has a tendency to drag.If you're a fan of SCTV, you may enjoy seeing Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, and John Candy, of if, like me, you're a Rocky & Bullwinkle fan, then you might get a laugh or two, but don't expect much.(slightly biased) 5/10 or **(out of 4)

A live-action version of the adventures of Boris and Natasha from "Rocky & Bullwinkle" this movie was produced just after the fall of communism in Europe. The company that produced it went bankrupt just before it was to be released and so it was relegated to cable TV.Boris and Natasha are set up by Fearless Leader and given the assignment to locate a professor and his amazing time reversing microchip. As they seek their objective they are unaware that the moment they locate the professor the master spy who is using them as a decoy will kill them. The two nogoodniks have to convince American intelligence that they are defectors, find the professor, avoid getting killed, and, hardest of all, Boris and Natasha have to get used to American values. The narrator is terrific and does give one the feeling that he is right out of the original show. Moose and Squirrel, as Boris calls them, do appear and the entire movie is a fun piece of entertainment.The movie has begun showing up on DVD in the cheap bins at a number of stores and makes a great addition to any person who can enjoy a movie for just being a fun piece of fluff.

This movie was not at all what I expected it to be. Instead it was incredibly funny. If you're not expecting a direct translation of episodes of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, then you will not be disappointed.The similarities between the film and cartoon are... esoteric at best. If you don't hold this against the movie, you'll enjoy the hell out of yourself. I loved the cartoons with a passion, but do you really think they would make a good movie?
