Boris and Natasha (1992 TV Movie)
Absolutely Goofy and Fun, Would Never Be Made Today without Being Totally Dull.
9 December 2022
This movie is nonstop fun, it is stupid, silly, goofy, and well CARTOONISH. It is after, based on characters frm Rocky & Bullwinkle. I am curious why Natasha has short hair, but I think it kind of answers the question within the film with a goofy side plot about Natasha becoming a sort of accidental fashion icon. With cameos from John Travolta and John Candy, this movie is elevated just a little bit by their presence

Dave Thomas as Boris is actually surprisingly funny and somewhat restrained, and Sally. Kellerman really hams it up as Natasha, everyone else is pretty much chewing the scenery, but given this is a live action cartoon, it makes it a lot of fun. I was never bored and I kept wondering, where is this gonna go next? Is there much of a plot? Nope! It's basically one ridiculous setup after another. There is a loose story, about Boris and Natasha being used as pawns to lead a skilled spy to a micro chip that will "change everything". It's really just used as an excuse for endless gags. I say this with much fondness.

This is a fairly clean movie, I would say it's appropriate for children 8 and up, if not younger, it's really cartoony, and while some of the themes such as the jokes about immigration will go over their head, it's so full of ridiculous setups, there is plenty for both adults and children to enjoy.
