i loved it. patton oswalt did a great job as remy...and peter o'toole deserves some kind of award nomination for his part. will he win his first oscar for ratatouille?
i love food...good food...and they did a great job of portraying how a kitchen runs. thomas keller of french laundry, per se, and bouchon fame was the chef consultant on the film and the final dish was based on keller's own creation. oswalt and brad bird (the director/writer) were on NPR last week and they said that keller created a 14-course meal for the cast and no one could finish their food because there was so much...things like salt courses and a butter course that featured butter made from the milk of a single cow that keller/french laundry owns. yum...
it's not, however, a movie for little kids, IMO. there were a lot of restless children at the showing i went to...gourmet food isn't for young children...and the french accents are probably difficult for kids to understand. but, i think it's a fantastic movie for adults.
