Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale are still spies for the mean little country of Pottsylvania, where, sandwiched between the nations Wrestlemania and Yoursovania, the Cold War is still frigid. Their Fearless Leader hatches a plan to capture a time-reverse micro-chip, using the two spies as high-profile patsies. They clumsily defect to America and try to unravel F.L.'s master plan. But can these dim-witted fools survive a secret assassin, exploding potatoes and the temptations of capitalism? And what of their old foes, "Moosk unt Squoirrel"? The cartoon world has ever seen are now actually…real characters, as fearless leader orders Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale off to the United states where they experience the American way of life, high-fashion fame for Natasha, treacherous double agents, ruthless killers, exploding potatoes, and a mysterious man with terrible taste in shoes. They find themselves knee-deep in a secret assassin operation, topped with exploding potatoes and the temptations of capitalism. I just can't understand what people find to hate about this movie. Personally, I love it, but even then, everyone I've shown it to at least enjoy it, and mostly really like it.<br/><br/>The bench mark test is the first ten minutes of the film. If you don't laugh during that, (and with as many silly references and witty wordplay you should) you won't during the rest of the film, because the humor stays at that same level.<br/><br/>The comedy is quick, witty, and just as silly as the original Rocky and Bullwinkle show. The plot is complicated and keeps you guessing. And the surprise ending is brilliant.<br/><br/>In all, this is an incredibly underrated little film; if you like the original show you would be in a sorry state not to catch this movie. that's not saying much.<br/><br/>made with less than 1/100th of what was spent on the mega-disaster, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle.<br/><br/>It's not a great film by far, but it's certainly enjoyable at times.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>(slightly biased) 5/10 or **(out of 4)
