Better Late Then Never

Absolutely Brilliant!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

If you watch Boris and Natasha expecting a spy version of Naked Gun you'll be sadly disappointed but if you're familiar with the two villains from the iconic Rocky and Bullwinkle this will be a little treasure. Live action versions of cartoons rarely work. Movies require more character and plot development and that requires deviations that annoy fans of the original. Kellerman and Thomas manage to establish their cartoon credentials without falling prey to the cartoon dimness of their animated predecessors. Rocket scientists they ain't but with a few exceptions they're not total numskull's either. They're helped along by a self-aware narrator just like on Rocky and Bullwinkle. Delicious. Would have like to see more of the delightful Andrea Martin but perhaps that's for the best - she steals the scenes she's in. In short, this is a movie that doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you.

I'm not sure if this movie made it into theatres or not. If I remember correctly it had a short run in Canadian theatres but I could be wrong.The movie is the kind of screwball comedy in which Dave Thomas excels. He gives a great performance and really hams it up. I have been a big fan of his since the very earliest days of SCTV when it was still shot in Edmonton. There are a couple of other SCTV alumni in this movie also. Both Andrea Martin and John Candy spice things up a bit.The only slightly sour note is the casting of Sally Kellerman as Natasha. She does her usual quirky and funny job of acting and by no means did a bad job. However at the time this move was made she was into her 50s and 10 or 12 years older than Dave Thomas. So, even though they work well together, their chemistry could have been a bit better. No doubt she was cast because they needed a known name to go with Dave Thomas who was not known as a lead actor, and for that matter still isn't usually a lead.So in summary: If you get a chance to see this on Netflix or see the DVD on sale somewhere don't hesitate to watch it.

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.

This movie was not at all what I expected it to be. Instead it was incredibly funny. If you're not expecting a direct translation of episodes of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, then you will not be disappointed.The similarities between the film and cartoon are... esoteric at best. If you don't hold this against the movie, you'll enjoy the hell out of yourself. I loved the cartoons with a passion, but do you really think they would make a good movie?
