Rat DVD Report


Print: Good - Sound: Good - Label: Universal - Year: 2000 - Cover: Good - Format: 16:9 - Length: 1h29m/1h24m - Before: No - Again: No - Price: £1 - Rating: 6/10.

In Rat, Hubert Flynn (Pete Postlethwaite), is a Dublin bread delivery man who loves a pint of Guinness, a bet on the horses and his wife Conchita - in that order. So when he comes home late from the pub one evening and changes into a rat, Conchita is slow to forgive.

Conchita (Imelda Staunton), at first resists her families plans for Hubert, but when a ghost-writer knocks on the door and proposes to put their story in a book and then a film of the book, and a book of the film, with riches beyond her dreams, she is tempted, setting the stage for a series of bizarre and comical adventures for Hubert the rat and his family.

Rat sounds like a Disney movie, its not, it is pretty funny and I do find Postlethwaite normally very good, but I found Rat somewhat lacking, its OK if your at a loose end though.

Sorry, no trailer...
