Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
Under the directives of Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro),
Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo) are back to take over the
world, but Rocky and Bullwinkle refuse to let that happen. Also with
Piper Perabo, Randy Quaid, Ed Gale, Kel Mitchell, Kenan Thompson, Dian Bachar, Chip Chinery, Billy Crystal, Janeane Garofalo,
Whoopi Goldberg, John Goodman, Carl Reiner, Keith Scott and Jonathan Winters. [1:45]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A woman kisses a squirrel. Some flirtation. A woman opens her
coat and reveals she's wearing tight shorts and a bikini top. A man and woman are in a tub
together and we see their bare shoulders.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Nearly all played for laughs, most of it involving
animated characters. A woman and a squirrel are electrocuted in an electric chair and
turned into vegetables, a cartoon character is zapped by a bolt of electricity and then
vanishes, an animal is squashed by a tree, a moose throws one man through a wall and
another man through a window, a truck runs into a moose and a squirrel (neither is hurt),
a bus flattens a moose and a squirrel (both survive, unscathed), a moose and a squirrel
are blown away by a tornado-like light beam, a squirrel jumps off a tower and falls on the
ground (it's shaken but not hurt), a car runs into a wall and lodges a moose into the
wall, a moose is hit by what appears to be a flying playing card, a moose is fed through a
fax machine (and subsequently flattened), and a moose hits its antlers on a door frame. A
woman elbows a man in the chest and knocks him down, a woman throws a pan at a man (we
hear him say "ouch" but we don't see the pan actually hit him), a man falls off
a water tower onto a group of people and then a laptop computer falls on his head, a man
and woman fall from the air and land on a man, a woman falls from an airplane but is saved
before hitting the ground, a woman jumps out of a moving car, a few men are crushed by a
falling wall, and film reels fall on people. A car runs into a wall and explodes upon
collision, a car runs off a cliff and explodes, several sticks of dynamite explode and
almost blow up a car, a truck wrecks and rolls over on two wheels, a helicopter hits a car
and rips off its windshield, an airplane flies through a billboard, another airplane
crashes into the ground, and a steel safe drops from the sky and almost hits a moving car.
We see a knife scar on a man's cheek throughout the movie.

insults. [profanity glossary]

other movie parodies, capital punishment.
MESSAGE - A flying squirrel and a knuckleheaded moose can help save the
world.
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
