Rats is a genius

I always loved the Paths to Freedom mockumentary so I went to see this film as soon as it came out. The characters are as brilliant as I remembered them, Tommo being particularly hilarious. This film will probably only do Ok in Ireland, but I think it will become a real cult classic. Can't wait for the video.

Deadly!

This movie is funny as anything! Now, non-Irish, I think will hate this. Nobody but us Irish will like. I think, mainly, Dublin people will like it the most because we can relate to it the most. I think culchies might like it also, but won't relate to us like us. Maybe culchies will hate it because they make fun of them. It also makes fun of people from Northern Ireland. It's all in good fun, however. I like to see and Irish movie for Dubliners, seeing as most of them are made for culchies and Dubliners hate them. This time the shoes on the other foot! Anyway, Dubliners, check it out. Anyone else, stay away! However, if you do think of watching it, you might learn some Dublin words!

Not a bad film.. Not bad at all.

I feel a lot of people have been way too harsh on this film. It's not an epic adventure or not the greatest film to hit the Irish scene in 2003 but it is very Irish. You can relate to some of the characters.. It's main attraction is humor and that it does well. This film is funny in a lot of parts but that is all it has for it.

The plot is a little thin but it doesn't have to be in-depth to get this film along. It follows Rats upon his release from Mountjoy Prison on his attempt to get his band together and make a break for it.

Spin the Bottle grows on you after a few times of watching it.. I think it's good for the Irish Film Industry to have films like this to be put out there. The more the merrier and I for one welcome Spin the Bottle. Good effort.

A great laugh!

I thought this movie was brilliant. If you were a fan of Paths to Freedom you'll love the comedy in this.

It was done on a low budget so obviously it's not as polished as most other productions, but with what they had it is definitely a cult Irish classic.

The lyrics of the songs featured in it are hilarious, but it definitely would not translate very well to a non-Irish audience. "You cultchie gaurds think you can come up here and act like narmal (sic) people!!"

And the cameo roles are great with Louis Walsh, Gerry Ryan and Miriam Callaghan really sending themselves up.

Terrible!

This film is in it's own words "terrible rubbish"

If you liked Paths to Freedom and though it had original ideas, good acting and dialogue - then feel free to go along and waste your money.

They wondered why the Irish film board didn't want to give them money! I wonder what made them change their mind and fund it eventually - it couldn't be that they changed their mind on it 'not being funny'.

If you like 'funny walks', bad acting, crap dialogue, stupid stories or feel like losing 90 minutes of your life - then this is yer man!

Enjoy (or not as the case may be)

While he was there he met prisoners who were huge fans of the series Paths to Freedom (2000) in which Rats first appeared. Some of the prisoners had taken the character of Rats to their hearts that they wrote some of Rats' sayings on their cell walls.

Crazy Credits
In the closing credits, Peter McDonald's character name was spelled "Tommo" in the "Starring" section and "Tomo" in the full cast list which follows it.
