Ratz

About This Movie

Ratz is one of those quirky family comedies where the stakes are surprisingly low and the charm is in its simplicity. You’ve got Marci and Summer, two girls navigating the complexities of young love and school dances. The humor feels light, almost reminiscent of those early 2000s TV shows, with a certain homemade quality to its practical effects that adds to the whimsical vibe. The pacing is laid-back, allowing for moments of genuine bonding between the characters. Vanessa Lengies and Caroline Elliott deliver performances that capture the awkwardness of adolescence well. It’s definitely not groundbreaking, but it has a cozy atmosphere that makes it a curious watch for collectors interested in this era of family films. There's something nostalgic about it, like a time capsule of youthful innocence and the dance drama that comes with it.
