Leave your thoughts about Rats and Cats.
| MovieTime, ABC Radio NationalJulie RiggNot a lot happens in it really. But it's the way it doesn't happen that counts. |
| The AustralianDavid StrattonRats and Cats is an excellent example of independent Australian film and deserves to be seen; with a little more care in the development of the story it might have been outstanding. |
| Eye for FilmAnton BitelIt has all the cringe-making laughs one might expect from a comedy of celebrity, but Rats And Cats also achieves a surprising subtlety by approaching its larger-than-life protagonist in disarmingly low-key fashion. |
| User ReviewTim DQuirky off-beat Aussie comedy that had its moments, about a former soap star returning to his small country hometown. It generally failed to grab me, though there was some promise there. |

| User ReviewDario Otwo guys from the Wedge? well yes, but it's actually quite funny. in my weird way though. so don't see it and whinge "you said it was funny and it's not!" otherwise i'll punch you in the gunt. |
| User ReviewJenn TThis was definitely a "sort-of-comedy" - one that relied on humorous observations rather than outright jokes (which doesn't exactly do it for me). Since some of the comedic dialogue was underscored with dramatic music, I didn't even know what to feel sometimes. The film also lacked somewhat in the story department - it was pretty laid-back, and while this seemed to work initially, the absence of any stronger narrative progression eventually left me bored. For me, Paul Denny (the spitting image of a young Dennis Hopper) was the stand-out performer. |
