I saw this film in the cinema with my boyfriend and we both thought it was brilliant! This is definitely a film for all ages. My boyfriend, a film fanatic, is very fussy about films, and usually likes films that arent animation, but have great special effects such as Matrix or Ghost Rider, but unusually, he said this one was great. Thats good enough for me and should be good enough for anyone. The film, based in Paris, had me in fits the whole way through Definitely worth buying, and thanks to find-dvd i can buy it cheaper than most with only my student wages! lol

You will believe a rat can cook! After all, his mentor, the recently-deceased culinary legend,Chef Gusteau always said: 'Anyone can cook'. Ratatouille is another example of what Pixar can achieve with the 'Incredible' Brad Bird as Head Chef in their computer-driven kitchen. Unless you are troubled by the slightly scattergun accents employed by the voice cast, the film is a pleasure from beginning to end with its slower plot-developing periods rendered worthwhile by the tension created as the fearsome critic, Anton Ego (an outstanding Peter O'Toole) pits his cultured taste-buds and sharp pen against the resurgent reputation of Gusteau's restaurant. Ratatouille is a reminder that people of all ages can still enjoy films with nothing gratuitous in them - except perhaps some mouth-watering...
