Boris and Natasha (1992)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wonderful character development!

Perfect cast and a good story

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

Let me start off by saying I'm a fan of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon, especially the ones with Boris and Natasha, so I was very excited when I heard that a Rocky and Bullwinkle related movie was finally getting made. The movie lived up to my expectations. Sure, it had a lot of jokes that didn't work and it is not as good as THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE (the other R&B movie which was made eight year later), but it is still fun stuff. The movie has the heart and flat humor as the classic TV show did, making it worth watching for fans of the series. Highlights include the Agent X scenes and any time the narrator is speaking (gotta love that voice). **1/2

A live-action version of the adventures of Boris and Natasha from "Rocky & Bullwinkle" this movie was produced just after the fall of communism in Europe. The company that produced it went bankrupt just before it was to be released and so it was relegated to cable TV.Boris and Natasha are set up by Fearless Leader and given the assignment to locate a professor and his amazing time reversing microchip. As they seek their objective they are unaware that the moment they locate the professor the master spy who is using them as a decoy will kill them. The two nogoodniks have to convince American intelligence that they are defectors, find the professor, avoid getting killed, and, hardest of all, Boris and Natasha have to get used to American values. The narrator is terrific and does give one the feeling that he is right out of the original show. Moose and Squirrel, as Boris calls them, do appear and the entire movie is a fun piece of entertainment.The movie has begun showing up on DVD in the cheap bins at a number of stores and makes a great addition to any person who can enjoy a movie for just being a fun piece of fluff.

She acts, she sings, she models, she produces! This is a live action movie based on a silly cartoon. Spy spoof movies are plentiful and generally don't have the best reputation. This one works as a takeoff of a popular cartoon. It is not, however, about the moose-and-squirrel. It is about Sally Kellerman. If you want to enjoy this lanky bombshell at her best, this is the place to be.
