Critic Reviews
Pure nonsense is hard to sustain for an entire feature-length movie.
The movie's attempts at zaniness are flat, almost embarrassing.
It's sledgehammer whimsy, and it's not talking to me.
Too dumb to realize that the senselessness is viral.
Stuffed with smart Internet gags, silly movie references and a happy energy that makes you forgive the sequences that don't work.
Works because they really are the focus - and they're excellently voiced .
It's a sunny, funny, fittingly cartoony blend of computer-generated 3-D representations of the flying squirrel and his pal the moose with actors.
The whole affair has a painfully self-conscious, self-referential air. Jokes land with a thud, and so, alas, does Rocky, who seems to have forgotten how to fly.
It's great to have the Moose back, but it would be greater still to see him in a humorous context fully worth of him.
The liveliest thing here is the keen sense of regret you feel at seeing two TV icons reduced to supporting characters in a lame movie that trades on their good names.
Rocky & Bullwinkle is the new millennium's "Howard the Duck."
Rocky and Bullwinkle have not only returned, but they've been placed in the hands of filmmakers who know what they're doing.
So packed with knowingly dreadful puns, wily sight gags, and self-referential cheek that it's impossible not to be charmed.
