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)

I would guess this film would bring smiles to those 12 and older. Natasha Looks like the Bullwinkle and Rocky Natasha. Boris is not fat enough to remind me of the Bullwinkle and Rocky Boris. Fearless Leader is close to the Bullwinkle and Rocky Fearless Leader. This film is silly, but it is supposed to be silly. After all, true to character, Boris and Natasha are silly. The film does maintain comic book character. This would be a great film for teen parties and slumber parties. It is not a great film nor is it bad. It will leave you with a tickle/giggle. After all, that is its purpose. No hard thinking here. Loved John Candy here; loved his hair (could not believe the hair). Bring the pizza. Bring the soda. Let's get ready for a silly movie. Four thumbs.
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.
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.

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.
