    Silly fun, but pales beside the also-silly 2000 movie

    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.

    Sillier than putty but certainly brings smiles and laughs

    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!

    better than the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie, but...

    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)

    Who chooses to be bad?

    Personally, I can't figure out why they made a movie with Rocky and Bullwinkle's nemeses as the main characters. But either way, from what I heard about the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, "Boris and Natasha" has to be better. Featuring the Eastern European agents getting sent to America to find a time-reversing device, it's a little weird but does elicit a few laughs. Still, I don't think that this is really going to do anything for Sally Kellerman's or Dave Thomas's careers (yes, Hot Lips and Doug McKenzie play the baddest Cold War spies whom the world has ever known). I would recommend sticking with the original TV show.

    Also starring Andrea Martin, Alex Rocco, John Candy, June Foray in a brief appearance, and even John Travolta as himself.

    Not as good as THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY & BULLWINKLE, but still fun stuff

    Let me start off by saying I'm a fan of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon, especially the ones with Boris and Natasha, so I was very excited when I heard that a Rocky and Bullwinkle related movie was finally getting made. The movie lived up to my expectations. Sure, it had a lot of jokes that didn't work and it is not as good as THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE (the other R&B movie which was made eight year later), but it is still fun stuff. The movie has the heart and flat humor as the classic TV show did, making it worth watching for fans of the series. Highlights include the Agent X scenes and any time the narrator is speaking (gotta love that voice). **1/2
