Yes, it's true, those notorious No-Goodniks from Pottsylvania, Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo) are back, and as usual are up to no good. This time they have managed to break the secret code and make the leap from their cartoon existence into the real world. Led by the criminal mastermind Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris and Natasha have devised a plot to take over the world - and while they're at it, get rid of moose and squirrel.
Those villainous spies have fought tirelessly to rid the world of their longtime foes from Frostbite Falls, better known to millions of adoring fans around the world as Rocky and Bullwinkle, but the dim-witted duo have managed to escape the clutches of Boris and Natasha through sheer tenacity and cunning intuition - okay, so maybe they just got lucky. But back to the story ... Teaming up with a rookie F.B.I. agent, Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo), our eponymous heroes will once again come face to face - or face to snout with their dreaded nemeses.
But first Rocky and Bullwinkle must blend into the real world - hardly an easy task for a 400-pound talking moose and a squirrel who thinks he can fly (no offense guys).
Now it is up to them to foil Fearless Leader's evil plot to unseat the President of the United States, President Signoff (James Rebhorn), through the creation of a new, omniscient, mindless TV network, RBTV (no, not Rocky & Bullwinkle Television, but Really Bad Television), which will hypnotize the entire population by election day (what can we say, this is Hollywood).
Yes, Rocky & Bullwinkle, our hapless heroes are back at it again, only this time the stakes are much higher. Has evil finally met its match? Well, at least it has met its moose.

Reviews for The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
The picture, though loose and lazy for much of its life, does at least have a high degree of innocence, charm and pep.
Too fragmented to either please or sufficiently entertain any of its target audiences.
A fine tribute to Ward's premise, since it entertains kids while making grownup kids laugh just like they used to laugh.
It's not a classic. But it's also nothing that the late Jay Ward, who developed the characters more than 40 years ago, would be ashamed of, either.
There's enough subversive intelligence poking through the surface of Rocky and Bullwinkle to make fans smile through the rest of the dross.
If you like cartoons you have to see this. If you like comedies, you have to see this.
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle appears to be one of the frontrunners for both the 'eye candy' crowd and children's audience.
a generally a fun movie, especially for those who are familiar with the old cartoons
True to the smart-and-zany, shamelessly punning spirit of Jay Ward's hilarious characters.
A fun but rather ordinary cartoon crossover dressed up with the wit of Ward's creations.
The rare adaptation that celebrates the spirit of the TV show that spawned it instead of disgracing it.
