It's Good to Be Bad

better than the Rocky & Bullwinkle movie, but...

that's not saying much.

made with less than 1/100th of what was spent on the mega-disaster, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle.

It's not a great film by far, but it's certainly enjoyable at times.

I liked it, I'll even occasionally play the video, while I'm working on something, but i can't recommend it because it has a tendency to drag.

If you're a fan of SCTV, you may enjoy seeing Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, and John Candy, of if, like me, you're a Rocky & Bullwinkle fan, then you might get a laugh or two, but don't expect much.

(slightly biased) 5/10 or **(out of 4)
