Ratz Trailers

Like lots of young ladies their age, Marci (Vanessa Lengies) and Summer (Caroline Elliott) have boys on their feverish brains. But the closer the girls get to their school's Spring Fling dance, the further they seem from finding dates. A desperate search for dance partners doesn't turn up any leads until the duo finds a magic ring. Aided by their newfound powers, they transform two pet rats into teen dreamboats -- with nightmarish results.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
bubblesddb The Greatest Teen Movie Eve: Go watch it ! There is no t much more to be said. I love this movie. Its one of my all time favorites. When I was younger I would watch it over and over again. It's very original and out of the box.Its realistic in the since that most girls their age are boy crazy and desperate. Some of the situations and events are very bizarre but its funny and highly entertaining if your a high energy kinda person. I liked it because it wasn't to dramatic and over the top. Sometimes its good to just have a sit down and watch movie instead of a bloody horror or high action movie. I mean really. Its an independent film people. Cut it some slack.
crazeepsycho16 When I first watched Ratz, I couldn't believe how much I laughed. It is about two teen best friends, Marci and Summer, who thanks to their wacky adult buddy Doris, get a hold of a magical ring that grants wishes. Before they know it they are responsible for two teenaged boys, who were formally rats, and plan on taking the male hotties to the Spring Fling dance. Chaos obviously ensues. The concept of this movie is so far-fetched, the plot line so crazy, and the acting so mediocre that it made this movie one of the funniest I have ever seen! The comedy of it is cute and humorous, making you laugh if you don't try to over analyze it. If you watched Ratz with an open mind and a positive out look, you will find it funny. It is not meant to be one of those silver screen, four star comedies. But it is still good enough to entertain you.
swav This movie was the best comedy that I've seen in a long time. The argument that the acting was poor and the entire film was kind of cheesy doesn't hold, since it made it only funnier. For kids in junior high and high school this flick can be a real drama, but older people who are past the high school life and behavior will find it really hilarious (since the movie makes fun of the junior high life and dilemmas). I felt that the director put just the right amount of sarcasm in there so that it wouldn't be noticeable for a young viewer but would be for a more skilled eye. I give it two thumbs up and can honestly say that it was the best movie I saw in year 2000.
mats.nilsson I and my teenage daughters loved this film. Good story, good actors, good script, good music, good special effects and more. If the good quality could be maintained this film could be the basis of a very good TV series. This films style, main characters, music etcetera, portraying a small town through a teenage girls perspective, could provide enough material for a series.
