Movie review ! Ratatouille Movie Review !

Think of rats, Grosses you out huh? Well that is exactly the experience you will get from watching the latest Disney film Ratatouille.


The story centers around a rat who basically teaches the dishwasher of the kitchen to cook by pulling on his hair, seriously!! The animation in this film is weak and the storyline is even weaker. The two main characters do not really connect with the audience and neither of them has the classic obstacle to be overcome that Disney uses to endear to the audience.

I mean, one character is a no talent dishwasher who basically lies on his resume to get a job by using the talents of a sewer rat. The other main character is, well, a sewer rat.

The whole concept of the movie doesn’t work and the plot jumps from point to point with no real transitions. It’s obvious that the writers of the movie ran out of ideas and had to force the story to a conclusion by sheer will.

But mostly the story fails because it revolves around vermin in contact with people . There is one scene where Remy the rat and about two hundred of his rat brethren attack a health inspector in the kitchen. The scene which was supposed to be funny drew dead silence and one remark of gross from the people in the theater I saw it in. The rest of the movie gives you more of the same, rats among , which is not a pretty concept. If you do go see Ratatouille, you just might never eat at another restaurant again. Definitely skip this one folks!
