Reviews Counted:88

Fresh:37

Rotten:51

Average Rating:4.7/10

Consensus: Though the film stays true to the nature of the original cartoon, the script is disappointing and not funny.

Runtime: 1 hr 32 mins

Genre: Childrens

Box Office: $411,840

Synopsis: Yes, it's true, those notorious No-Goodniks from Pottsylvania, Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo) are back, and as usual are up to no good. This time they have managed...

Yes, it's true, those notorious No-Goodniks from Pottsylvania, Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo) are back, and as usual are up to no good. This time they have managed to break the secret code and make the leap from their cartoon existence into the real world. Led by the criminal mastermind Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris and Natasha have devised a plot to take over the world - and while they're at it, get rid of moose and squirrel.

Those villainous spies have fought tirelessly to rid the world of their longtime foes from Frostbite Falls, better known to millions of adoring fans around the world as Rocky and Bullwinkle, but the dim-witted duo have managed to escape the clutches of Boris and Natasha through sheer tenacity and cunning intuition - okay, so maybe they just got lucky. But back to the story ... Teaming up with a rookie F.B.I. agent, Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo), our eponymous heroes will once again come face to face - or face to snout with their dreaded nemeses.

But first Rocky and Bullwinkle must blend into the real world - hardly an easy task for a 400-pound talking moose and a squirrel who thinks he can fly (no offense guys).

Now it is up to them to foil Fearless Leader's evil plot to unseat the President of the United States, President Signoff (James Rebhorn), through the creation of a new, omniscient, mindless TV network, RBTV (no, not Rocky & Bullwinkle Television, but Really Bad Television), which will hypnotize the entire population by election day (what can we say, this is Hollywood).

Yes, Rocky & Bullwinkle, our hapless heroes are back at it again, only this time the stakes are much higher. Has evil finally met its match? Well, at least it has met its moose. [More]

It is so unpretentious that it is impossible to dislike.

After a surprisingly savvy and funny introduction, this wildlife road comedy can't generate enough smart-ass creativity to sustain its feature length.

The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle is yet another flawed attempt to turn an ancient TV cartoon into a contemporary live-action movie.

Bringing the cartoon characters into the real world requires a wild imagination. Credit scriptwriter Kenneth Lonergan for having it.

The movie's attempts at zaniness are flat, almost embarrassing.

McAnuff and screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan seem unable to get the story and the satire to co-exist.

Rocky and Bullwinkle is too hectic to allow any breathing room for characterization.

Just take it as seriously as the filmmakers did, and you'll do fine.

Slathered in saccharine moralizing and dully sentimental plotting.

The movie never quite coheres into a consistent vision.

Pity the poor toons stuck with such two-dimensional, (so-called) live-action figures.

It's a mostly adorable comic-adventure fantasy brightened by flashes of true inspiration.

There's a certain warmth and dumb, watchable charm about the whole thing, even when it's not being that funny.
