Every kid's favorite Moose and Squirrel are transported Roger Rabbit-style into the real world to stop a live-action Boris (Jason Alexander), Natasha (Rene Russo) and Fearless Leader (Robert DeNiro!) from turning America into a nation of TV zombies (too late?) in this occasionally hilarious, but more frequently flavorless, adaptation of Jay Ward's classic cartoon series from the '60s. When it's on a full-court press of snickers and grins, the film is as comical as the screwy old 'toon ever was, but when it pauses for plot, it goes to pieces. Also, there's too little Bullwinkle here, and too much Piper Perabo, who plays a pretty, young FBI agent who's lost touch with her inner child. Piper who, you ask? Exactly my point. Not a necessary purchase. (R. Blackwelder)
