Lighten up!

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle: ***

Come on, people! Did you really expect it to be Oscar worthy? Here, we have a fun, good-natured comedy for kids and people are throwing up at it. The movie is full of puns (some are cheap misfires, but most are good) that are funny. The movie mocks itself. That is something we see in "The Simpsons" and everyone loves that. I wrote this review to defend the movie, because I think that this was a good movie.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" is about the animated duo who go against Borris and Natasha after they have escaped from the TV. It's not exactly a good plot, but the movie needed a premise. Moose and Squirrel look great as CGI characters. Rocky is so lovable and Bullwinkle is so... uh...

Anyway, I will admit that DeNiro's performance was a *bit* over the top and Borris and Natasha's accents were a *bit* fake, but you could tell that the actors were having fun. And seeing all the other big name stars (Jeanene Garafalo, Randy Quiad, and David Alan Grier to name a few) was so much fun!

So, what I am saying is lighten up a little on this movie. Would you rather your children watch David Arquette roll around in dog crap and a dog bite off a man's testicle (See Spot Run, rated PG) or have them watch a funny, good-natured, *clean* family comedy (Rocky and Bullwinkle, *also* rated PG)? You decide, but if I was a parent I'd go with Rocky & Bullwinkle.
