This film didn't sound appealing to me when I first heard about it; a rat society living in the underground waterways of England wasn't my idea of an interesting movie. But, I was invited to see a screening of it recently, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it! This film is different, exciting, adventurous, and fun to watch! I liked Rita (Kate Winslet) the best, but that's if I had to choose one character. Roddy (Hugh Jackman) was the star though. The little slugs singing on the side are cute in their own way too. The underlying message of how important family and friends are is well done. It's great for the whole family!

I would have left early but I was with an elite movie crowd and didn't want to be disrespectful. Apparently, Sofia didn't inherit the talent gene from daddy - which is unfortunate because I was really looking forward to seeing this! There were a lot of scene's that could have been completely left out and many that should have been developed more. If directed differently, this could have been a great movie, but this version leaves much to be desired. There was really no plot so to speak and the music was random 1980's music! As a book, this may have been a decent read, but as a movie it's a waste of time and money. I wouldn't even suggest renting it!
