Review of Ratburger

Ratburger (2017 TV Movie)
4/10
The dancing rat
28 May 2018
David Walliams children books have been adapted by the BBC for Christmas but Ratburger was done by Sky. It still has the same style of filming including an appearance again by Raj the shopkeeper.

Zoe is a school girl who lives in a tower block in a northern town. She had a pleasant life until her mother died.

Now she lives with a stepmother who cares little for her and her dad who is always working. Zoe is bullied at school and only has one friend at school.

Things change when she finds small rat in her bedroom who seems to understand her and also dances to music. Zoe wants the rat to perform at the school talent contest.

However Burt the greasy burger van man smells a rat kebab.

David Walliams is having fun as Burt the rat catcher who makes burgers out of them. However I thought this one was too infantile and curiously dark at the same time.
