Ratatouille

Bourne Ultimatum was rated 5 stars by ST Life, so was Ratatouille !!! An animation about food. Rats stealing food, eating garbage, a rat who can cooked, a mean food critic and a book "Anyone can cook".

Gusteau, who died, was the author of the book 'Anyone can cook' saw his restaurant dropped its rating from 5 stars to 4 stars after a bad rating by the mean critic, Ego and to 3 stars after his death.

Chef Skinner took over but could not restored the previous glory and instead introduced a series of frozen food products. Then linguini came to work as a garbage boy and unknowingly was Gusteau's son.

Remy was the talented rat who had the special gift of smelling and cooking good food. One day, it accidentally helped Linguini cooked up a pot of wonderful soup and received rave reviews from customers and a critic.

Remy wanted to be a good cook. So he risked being discovered by the humans and continued to work in Gusteau restaurant as Linguini asked remy to help him to cook. As linguini became popular, customers were asking more than soups, so remy and him worked out a way for them to cook in the kitchen without the rest noticing that a rat was helping him.

Ego knowing the restaurant is getting its recent attention returned to request for linguini to serves him his best. In between, linguini and remy had some arguements but remy still returned in the end to help linguini out.

But linguini told the crew the truth, showing remy to them. The crew left. So remy has to get help ..... from the whole rat clan !!! Remy cooked up the ratatouille dish and served Ego. It strucked Ego with awe with his first bite and flashed him to memories of his childhood.

So he gave his best review ever to the restaurant. But sadly, rats being discovered by the health inspector, it has to close down. In the end, a new restaurant opened where linguini and remy continued their cooking of good food.

Iit was entertaining and light-hearted. 8/10
