Moose (voice of Keith Scott) are barely getting by on residual checks; they're wondering what to do next when Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), the evil genius of Pottsylvania, transforms himself from a cartoon into

It's sledgehammer whimsy, and it's not talking to me.

This movie is a bloody mess if I've ever seen one.

90 minutes is too long for any incarnation of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Kids will enjoy it, even if the jokes escape them.

All things considered, I got more fun out of the much maligned earlier attempt of bringing characters from the show to film, Boris and Natasha.

For the most part, the film succeeds, with predictable complaints stemming from the stretch marks that plague all features based on TV/animated shows.

The nostalgic glow wears off pretty quickly ... and the movie has nothing to fall back on except bad puns and a brace of awkward cameo turns.
