OK - so this is not the greatest movie ever made. Still, it has the lure of a traffic accident that you cannot turn away from as you pass. Take a chance and put yourself into Ratboy's shoes...

This movie is for kids between 6-13.
It revolves around adults trying to exploit an abberant boy who's about 10yrs old.
It is amusing and has a little profanity. There is a car chase or two.
But this is a really unique movie. I had to get it for my kids. They liked it.

I loved Ratboy.....It was funny and very different....They need more movies like this to come out....I give this movie 2 thumbs up, and YES, U SHOULD PURCHASE RATBOY!!!!!! Enjoy :-)

During my active transition from childhood to adolesence, I watched two movies. Those two movies were "Night of the Comet" and "Ratboy", which were selected based on nothing more than youthful curiosity. I am now a thirty-four year adult male that inadvertantly remembered chronically watching "Ratboy" and had to find a copy. It was the amazing seller "markgrizzly" that sold me this movie and it arrived in unbelievably amazing condition! After more than twenty years of last viewing this movie, I watched "Ratboy" in the privacy of my home on a relaxing Saturday afternoon. In short, it was just as bizarre and entertaining as I recalled from my youth. This film would be ideal for the individual (male or female) that requires a simple tale of genetically mutated human-rat hybrid that was unknowingly destined to become a special manifestation of cinematic history and my younger self.

This movie has it all - car chases, guns, fat security guard guys, Macguyver rolls, incredibly cool makeup for Ratboy himself, and a dramatic ending that closes the film off superbly. What more can I say? Go and watch it today!

Lots of 80's "B" movies coming out on DVD. You will see pigs fly before this one ever does. Really, what a strange and pointless movie. Last time I saw this was on a midnight movie back in the late 90's. Ummm, it's got Louie Anderson in it. Here is an idea it could be remade, and Tim Burton could direct it! I could see that happening. Now, Frog Dreaming (also called "The Quest") is a movie that needs to come out on DVD before this one does.

One of the greatest films of all time right up there with the Godfather.. i been a Rayboy fan for years this movie will go to the grave with me ..

I will not say this is a good movie but, few good movies are as entertaining.Robert Townsend actually gives a good performance but, the real highlight here is the Ratboy himself.Designed and built by oscar winner Rick Baker.No tail on Ratboy.Rats!A game that might serve to enhance your Ratboy experience if thats possible.Try to imagine Clint Eastwood's reaction when chum Sandra Locke shows it to him for the first time.
