'There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?' ...I'm gonna put it under my huge chef's hat and let it make food using my arms in a weird puppet type manner. Not having seen this film since it was out in cinemas NINE YEARS AGO, I could only remember bits and pieces, so it was nice to come back and watch the whole thing almost as if it was the first time. There were a few humorous elements that would've gone over my head as a young kid and now knowing who the voice cast actually are is a treat. The best part of this movie was the finale, starting from when the rats took over the kitchen - man, not only was it comedy gold but that's the kind of ending all films need to have. It was funny, it was tense and, surprisingly, emotional.

A half decent 'action' flick that kicks off with a promising start but then just really doesn't go anywhere, meandering around what could have been some much-needed 'BANG BANG PEWWW PEWWW' moments. Viola Davis is still brilliant however and Lopez was better than she was in 'Gigli' but not as good as she was in 'Out of Sight'. The twist comes around with about twenty minutes to go and, credit where credit's due, I wasn't actually expecting it. But the whole reveal is so pointless and makes TOO much sense for a twist anyway, it doesn't have any affect whatsoever. The story chugs along as if the twist never happened. If you're looking to kill some time, watch this.

I'm not gonna lie and say I understood all the messages going on in this film but I feel I followed the plot pretty well until maybe the last half hour - an unnecessary half hour at that. But I enjoyed it! About six or seven people walked out before the film finished and I'm not actually sure why. No; the film isn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea but it's by no means boring and keeps you entertained almost to the end credits. It's pretty and the acting is as expected, although you can't help but feel Hiddleston didn't leave as much an impression as he should have. Hiddleston is supposed to be the protagonist but instead, it's Luke Evan's Wilder that stays in your mind as you leave the cinema. I have nothing more to say other than that this film mildly exceeded my expectations. It is what it is.
