Ratatouille is the first great Hollywood film of the year, and may end up being the only great Hollywood film of the year. The premise:
a Parisian rat that has a taste for fine foods, that worships a famous chef, that becomes a cook in that famous chef's restaurant, and is so talented that he melts
the iciest of food critics into a warm puddle. It's just too much. You will be
overwhelmed by a laughter as ridiculous as the movie's premise. (See
Movie Times for details.)
