Synopsis

A scrawny rat named Remy (voice of Patton Oswalt) finds his dreams of culinary superstardom stirring up sizable controversy in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant in director Brad Bird's madcap computer-animated comedy. It's hard being a rat with culinary aspirations, but Remy is convinced he has what it takes to break the stereotypes and follow in the footsteps of star chef Auguste Gusteau (voice of Brad Garrett). As fate would have it, Remy is currently situated in the sewers directly beneath Gusteau's elegant restaurant. Soon Remy teams up with a young chef with little talent named Linguini (voice of Lou Romano). Together they are able to create some fabulous dishes, but they live in fear that someone will discover their secret and object strenuously to a rat being in a kitchen. When Remy's passion for cooking turns the haughty world of French cuisine upside down, the rat who would be king of the kitchen learns important lessons about life, friends, and family while questioning whether he should pursue his culinary calling or simply go back underground and return to his life as a sewer rat. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I loved this movie, but surprisingly, my kids (9 and 11) thought it was kind of boring. Astonishing visuals, good script. JUST DON'T WATCH IT WHILE YOU ARE HUNGRY. Or if you have a fear of rats (especially in the kitchen).

We LOVED this film; it's one of our favorite animated films. The story of a little rat who followed his impossible dream of becoming a chef. We cheered when it won the Academy Award for Best Animated picture. There's a lesson here for all of us about not giving up on ourselves or our dreams. Very entertaining and very worthwhile.

This is the first animated film in years that was a real struggle to almost finish. Note the "almost finish." We love these things, but there was just something missing from this one. Even the kids were ho-hum.
