Ratatouille (2007)


Fantastic. Delightful. Captivation. (FDC)

Final Verdict: This film isn't aimed at a particular age group, culture, or social class; it reaches across all boundaries to tell a story so universal and so intrinsically familiar that viewing it almost brings up feelings of déjà vu. On the surface, it's a fun romp through the life of a restuarant chef and the joys of cooking, but at its heart its a tale about following your dreams, believing in yourself, and accepting others. Patton Oswald does a great job of bringing the main character, Remy, to life, and thus creates a great emotional connection between the audience and the film. The greatest thing about this movie? Everything.

Spoiler(s): No one dies or gets killed, but it's still enjoyable.

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 96%

"Ratatouille. It's like a stew, right? Why do they call it that? If you're gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie." Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious." - Linguini
