Ratburger

This film tells the story of a young girl, who has a rat that can dance. She has to save the rat from an evil burger man.

The story is full of dichotomous, black and white characters. The characters are funny, especially the policewoman who says sorry all the time. The evil stepmother is memorable as well. It is funny, and it is good for young children.

Zoe had a sweet life until her mother's death. Her father struggles and remarries horribly. She get bullied by bigger girl Tina Trotts. After losing a hamster, she finds a rat in her sock. The rat seems to dance and becomes her beloved pet. She gets suspended when her rat bites Tina.

It's a second-tier British kids movie. The lead is a newcomer. Her amateurism actually works in her favor. The general style is crass silliness. The production is second rate. The villain is deliberately ugly. It's all relatively fine. There is a sweetness to the movie despite all the ugliness. It's kind of a sweet ugliness.

The book obviously has licence to explain the characters in more detail. The movie does a good job of delivering the main contents. David Williams was amazing at playing a disgusting character and the young cast tried their best.

Did you spit the "bullies" real family in the Audience?

Not much to say here other than the fact that this movie has a basic plot, cringe jokes but a film that younger children could very much enjoy, a bit like the book.
