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.
