OK, OK, it was lots of fun -- smile on the face throughout, at least after the too-lengthy exposition. And the digital projection I attended was satisfying and without headaches. Plus the rats' body movements were hilariously accurate.
But let's be critical!
The exposition was like that "well-made play" where the maid and the butler in the opening scene discuss the master's problems, then launch into the plot. The early rat family stuff, including the poison sniffing, could have been cut by three or four minutes. Also what I call the Elmira Fudd sequence could have been drastically shortened at no loss; it wasn't even funny. And what were the rats doing living in her damn *ceiling* anyway?
Two foodie details: French restaurants aren't given five stars, as in the movie, rather only three. And after the food critic Anton Ego clearly ordered a '47 Cheval Blanc (good choice!) he was given a Lafite-Rothschild without a single comment made.
The above do not however constitute a reason to skip the show.
