| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle |
|---|
Rocky and Bullwinkle have just had their show cancelled, and now their home, Frostbite Falls has completely fallen apart. Menawhile, their arch-enemies have dug out of the cartoon world, and into the real world. Now, Rocky and Bullwinkle have to go to the real world and stop them. They have an evil plan to hypnotise the American public, and make them make them vote for them for president. This film is surprisingly funny, and an enjoyment with an amazing performance by DeNiro.

Not great but very funny update of the classic television cartoon. The inane plot involves the evil trio of Fearless Leader (Robert DeNiro), Boris (Jason Alexander) and Natasha (Rene Russo), who have turned themselves from cartoon into live-action so that they can buy a television station and take over the world. Piper Perabo is somewhat feeble as the FBI agent sent to stop them with the help of that unstoppable duo Rocky and Bullwinkle (here rendered with impressive computer animation. Russo is a gas as the gorgeous femme fatale (so gorgeous in fact that while near her Alexander completely vanishes off the screen), while DeNiro is embarrassingly over the top as in his role. The film has some very hilarious jokes in it, mostly involving the titular heroes, plus a boatload of famous names doing cameos (Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, John Goodman), but the film doesn't maintain its hectic hilarity throughout.
--Bil Antoniou, Resident Scholar
