I know I might get in trouble for liking this movie while it is not one of the best movies I have seen I just watch it to just enjoy.The plot centers around Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris (Jason Alexander), and Natasha (Rene Russo) escape into the real world it is up to FBI Agent Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo) along with Rocky and Bullwinkle to stop them.The movie has it moments of being funny other times it makes you want to face palm yourself.I did a few times after watching the film again for the first time in a couple of years. I know it is a movie intent for kids but come on the adults need to have some degree of intelligent. But again I found some enjoyment out of the film it is not a great movie at any means but it is enjoyable There is a lot of fourth wall breaks in the film. There is some animation in the film since the original show was hand drawn animation which makes for something different in a film based off a cartoon from the 1960sOverall it's not a perfect movie but it's still a movie for the kidsI give The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle an 7 out of 10

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000): Dir: Des McAnuff / Cast: Piper Perabo, Robert De Niro, Jason Alexander, Rene Russo, Randy Quaid: Rocky the flying squirrel and his moose pal Bullwinkle were cancelled in 1964 and have existed only through re-runs. And what a kick in the crotch it must have been to them both when this screenplay was dreamed up in their Honor. Rocky has forgotten how to fly, just as the screenwriter forgot how to write a decent screenplay. Bullwinkle is busy writing letters to the President, but those letter most likely do not involve resigning. The evil Fearless Leader plans to take over the earth using Real Bad T.V. Perhaps he should give everyone free tickets to this travesty then since it is clear that no one will pay to see it. Director Des McAnuff remains faithful to the cartoon despite evidence to a limited budget. Fearless Leader is a lifeless villain despite Robert De Niro's amusing performance. Jason Alexander and Rene Russo as henchmen Boris and Natasha are likely hoping that this film doesn't resurface during any career tribute since it isn't their best moment. Piper Perabo plays the young heroine who has the mentality of someone of age five. Randy Quaid plays an idiot named Cappy von Trapment. Why not rename him Crappy von Trapment? It couldn't be any worse than any other stupid idea in this junk. This film should learn to fly...off a building. Score: 1 / 10

Have you got 90 minutes to kill, and did you like the Rocky and Bullwinkle show when you were a kid? Then this is an OK movie. It has some clever wordplay, some cool special effects and cinematography, and you can safely watch it with children, who won't get all of the jokes or cameos anyhow. It's definitely better than most of what you will find on TV, but, on the other hand, it's no film masterpiece that's going to wind up on some best or most influential list. Going into this, don't expect too much, and you might like it, like I did. Simply take it for what it is, just some clean, harmless fun to wile away a little time.

I had to "up" the ratings and say a word about this movie. It was a real surprise and a treat for me- I just got satellite and it was one of the selections, so I tuned in out of curiosity. Never did I think that Rocky and Bullwinkle could be recreated so well, bad puns and all. It took me back to my childhood when Rocky and Bullwinkle were my favs, along with Crusader Rabbit, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Fractured Fairy tales, Dudley Do Right and Gerald McBoingBoing (I don't remember much about him except the funny name!). Anyway, it was great fun to watch this movie, especially with all the cameos as an extra bonus: Robert DeNiro as Fearless Leader (he seemed to be enjoying himself) and Carl Reiner, Johnathan Winters and John Goodman to name a few. If you are an aging baby boomer, this movie will be a trip down memory lane.
