Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Great Film overall

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I loved this movie! In the style of a good tween fun comedy, in similar style as such shows like Lizzie McGuire, two very personable best girl friends deal with being unpopular, with no boys to date at the annual school dance, and a fun story of a magical ring that brings a faery-tale like wish that turns two cute pet ratties, Scooter and Spike, into two cute boys for the girls.Casting was great with this movie, the girls Marci Kornbalm and Summer Weingarten, played by Vanessa Lengies and Caroline Elliott, are a wonderful very likable pair. The movie also has two other sub-plots going on at the same time, with veteran actors Ron Silver, playing the part of Herb Sonic, a lonely shy timid guy who's had a forever crush on the local antique collectibles store owner, a very homely nerdy looking Doris Trowbridge, played by the very funny Kathy Baker, who's wishes of becoming as pretty as her favorite soapstar actress, also come true with the powers of the magical ring, and Herb Sonic trying to find out where Doris disappeared too, making for a very sweet love story. Another story, of the two typically silly neighborhood boys who haven't discovered girls yet, Rod and Tod, keep us laughing at their animated silliness, as they also get in trouble with the magical ring, though they never knew it was magical.If you like the comedy style of shows like Lizzie McGuire, and like fun G-rated TV tween movies, you'll love Ratz. Fun for the whole family, simple, and even my critical hardcore punk/metal friends loved the movie... "AIRBAG!!" - Scooter 'n Spike lol... Ratz is great!

I think that this movie was really cool. It was good and funny, especially if you are below the age of 15. The person who said it was poorly acted and written, was absolutely wrong.

I saw this vid on a shelf in blockbuster when I was wondering what to get. You don't really get much of a laugh out of it unless you have pet rats. I do, and I thought it was funny. Maybe not the best acting, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? I loved the rats. I thought it was terribly funny!

As I went to watch the film Ratz on the Showtime network, I wasn't expecting much. To be quite frank, I didn't get much. I have no problem calling this over-clichéd, poorly written, poorly acted, and poorly directed film possibly the worst movie ever made. Just listen to the song during the credits while they show the "out-takes." Or watch the scene when the main character gets a D+ for writing the story of the film. It is a poor concept as well as a poorly executed film. Why was it even made? A question that will most likely go unanswered as long as we all shall live.
