Se Falhar, Morre

She acts, she sings, she models, she produces! This is a live action movie based on a silly cartoon. Spy spoof movies are plentiful and generally don't have the best reputation. This one works as a takeoff of a popular cartoon. It is not, however, about the moose-and-squirrel. It is about Sally Kellerman. If you want to enjoy this lanky bombshell at her best, this is the place to be.

I didn't even know this existed until it popped up on cable TV. Had to give it a look, and it's got its moments, but is vastly outclassed by 2000's "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" with Jason Alexander and Renee Russo. At the very least, more effort could have been put into making the principals resemble the cartoon originals with makeup and hairstyling. Note Sally Kellerman as executive producer-- she bankrolled this production. Corey Burton's Narrator doesn't sound as much like the original Narrator, William Conrad, as the 2000 film's Narrator, Keith Scott, who also voiced Bullwinkle and other characters in that production. But what the heck, enjoy what works and ignore the rest.

I saw this movie when I was fairly young, assuming that it was based off of my favorite cartoon, "Rocky & Bullwinkle". However, when I watched it, I realized just how funny it is. My favorite part has got to be the narrator, who plays right into the role of the narrator on the popular cartoon series. Though it's hard to find and probably isn't out on DVD yet, I really recommend this movie to anyone who is even slightly familiar with the cartoon series; they will be surprised, but not disappointed.

Boris ( Dave Thomas ) and Natasha ( Sally Kellerman) are in a small country that was once part of Yugoslavia. Russia is also liberated but Fearless Leader is still sending out spies to meddle in world affairs. On this day, he asks B + N to " defect " to America in order to find a miraculous new microchip. Very special, this chip alters time back to 20 seconds before, thereby reversing catastrophes like crashes and gunshot killings. BUT BUT WAIT! What the dynamic duo doesn't know is that they will be the decoy to find the chip but then be eliminated as a more worthy spy will bring the invention back to FL. Off they go. When they land, the CIA captures them immediately and interrogates them to find their true purpose. Finding the twosome to be clueless and dim, they let them go. But, an agent named Willie will follow closely behind. In fact, W brings Boris and Natasha to a smart high rise apartment with every amenity. Natasha becomes a sensational new model after being discovered. But between photoshoot, our heroes still hunt for the microchip and the man who invented it. Will they locate it only to perish? This film , taken from the 60s cartoon characters, is sillier than putty but will still plaster a grin on one's face. Thomas and Kellerman are great as the rather not-so-bright spies and the other cast members are fine, also. What fun to see Natasha empty a frozen can of orange juice into a glass for Boris or a fellow spy, dying, knock over a bowl of potato chips as a "clue". The zany plot takes the viewers to many settings while costumes are terrific. Laughs ensue time and again. So, do you seek a flick to lift your spirits? Spend time with Boris and Natasha!

This movie is nonstop fun, it is stupid, silly, goofy, and well CARTOONISH. It is after, based on characters frm Rocky & Bullwinkle. I am curious why Natasha has short hair, but I think it kind of answers the question within the film with a goofy side plot about Natasha becoming a sort of accidental fashion icon. With cameos from John Travolta and John Candy, this movie is elevated just a little bit by their presence

Dave Thomas as Boris is actually surprisingly funny and somewhat restrained, and Sally. Kellerman really hams it up as Natasha, everyone else is pretty much chewing the scenery, but given this is a live action cartoon, it makes it a lot of fun. I was never bored and I kept wondering, where is this gonna go next? Is there much of a plot? Nope! It's basically one ridiculous setup after another. There is a loose story, about Boris and Natasha being used as pawns to lead a skilled spy to a micro chip that will "change everything". It's really just used as an excuse for endless gags. I say this with much fondness.

This is a fairly clean movie, I would say it's appropriate for children 8 and up, if not younger, it's really cartoony, and while some of the themes such as the jokes about immigration will go over their head, it's so full of ridiculous setups, there is plenty for both adults and children to enjoy.
