I Was a Rat (2001)

Here's my first movie review:
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) is a story about a boy who used to be a rat, as the title says. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) playes the role of a boy who one evening lands on the doorstep of Bob and Joan Jones. Since it is raining outside they decide to take him in for the night. They try to find out who he is and where he comes from. The only thing he can tell is that he was a rat. When they one day decide to send him to school he get is an argue with his teacher and the headmaster after which he flees. While hiding in a warehouse he is picked up by a freak show owner who wants to put him on display as a Rat Boy. When Bob and Joan try to find Roger (the name they gave to the rat boy) they can't find them. One day they find out he is being held by the freak show owner. When they get there Roger is gone. He is freed by a group of boys who look like they are about Rogers age. (They aren't because Roger is 6 months). They convince him to help them with a burglary, but when he is spot by a police officer he returns to the sewers to life as a rat again. But this doesn't help either because a few men find him in the sewer and think he is a monster. How he ends up with Bob and Joan again and what a princess has to do with this you'll have to see for yourselves. (if you get so lucky.)

Hey! First review? We're honored, mbch331. You wrote a review that makes me want to see this movie. I'd say that's what a review is for. I'd like to get as lucky as Bob and Joan, too, and have a rat boy show up on my doorstep!

Thanks for taking the time and effort, and I'm already looking forward to more.  Smiley

Love,
Sir Jacob

This certainly sounds very interesting.

I'm not sure if I'm keeping an eye out for a movie or a TV series though.  Three episode adds up to 2hrs 45 mins.  That means if it's gets show as a movie they will trim it down by an hour   Sad

How do I profile it...  any suggestions?

Do I profile it as a movie or as a TV series?

***scratches my head***

..oh and mbch331  thanks for the review  Smiley

I saw it as an movie. I also wondered about the fact IMDB listed it as an series.
I should say list it as an series as IMDB lists it as such.

The catalog for the Chicago fest lists it as a 105 minute movie. After I see it, I'll know better whether I think it was edited down or not.

Mbch how long was the version you saw???

I think it was about 105 minutes. It's been a while since I've seen it (first sunday of september), but I know It was less than two hours.
