(Where do I start in the criticism of THIS message?!) Later, in a tangential scene of no consequence to the storyline, Remy spies on fighting lovers who tangle, the woman shoots at her mate, and they wind up in a passionate embrace. Surely savvy writers could communicate the rats' plight and unwelcomeness without deathly peril. Remy and his rat family are blasted with a shotgun from the opening scene and thereafter. Adult entertainment value should take a back seat to common sense when exposing children to romantic ideals and how adults should cope with conflict. The creators no doubt thought it cute to exploit French stereotypes of tempestuous lovers and fiery tempers but when imbued into cartoon characters, these are not appropriate role models for children. This seemed an enjoyable family flick but if you step back and give careful thought to some scenes, you'll begin to question why any kid-friendly movie needs face-slapping, name-calling and gun play. If you watch this with your kids talk about how unhelpful the implications are. presumably so we'll know we're in "passionate Paris" which is offensive in so many ways. It's put in there seemingly casually, just as scene setting. There's also a scene with a couple having a domestic fight involving a gun, and then they embrace and the rat just rolls his eyes and on we go with the movie. The message it implies that if someone is saying 'leave me alone' just kiss them and they'll get over it and fall in love is terrible. Kissing a girl who is saying go away and actually threatening violence, just no. In one scene Collette is furious with Linguini, to the point that she gets out her pepper spray Linguini kisses her and magically it's all better. It has a lot of violence which is treated as humorous, and some worrying messages about consent/relationships. It also has messages about pretending to be what you are not and taking credit for work you didn't do. I think this is a fun fast paced movie with an overt message about trying hard to achieve your goals and live your dream. Which Side of History?
