Ratz

2000 · 95 min

Silly, good-natured wish-fulfillment comedy that plays like a goofy TV movie sleepover, harmless and forgettable.

Tagline: Change two rats into guys? Whatever!
Overview: Like lots of young ladies their age, Marci and Summer have boys on their feverish brains. But the closer the girls get to their school's Spring Fling dance, the further they seem from finding dates. A desperate search for dance partners doesn't turn up any leads until the duo finds a magic ring. Aided by their newfound powers, they transform two pet rats into teen dreamboats -- with nightmarish results.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, absurd and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, identity, friendship, love
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
