A hip comedy, and as such, being hip and caustic is sometimes more important than being funny. Go to Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) 05/15/2008

Rats and Cats is a sort-of comedy, very laid-back and meandering, and it's mostly content to explore life in this little town and some of its inhabitants. Go to Full Review Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 05/25/2008
Not a lot happens in it really. But it's the way it doesn't happen that counts. Go to Full Review Herald Sun (Australia) 05/25/2008

There are no side-splitting jokes as such, but a high number of humorous observations that are right on the money. Go to Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile 05/15/2008
Notable for his short film, Wilfred, which became a popular series for SBS TV, director Tony Rogers' assured handling and the cast's boots'n'all delivery make this unheralded black comedy a pleasant surprise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/09/2011 Quirky off-beat Aussie comedy that had its moments, about a former soap star returning to his small country hometown. It generally failed to grab me, though there was some promise there. See more 05/14/2010 Was excepting too much perhaps from this dark aussie comedy by the 'Wilfred' team (director, actors, writers all the same). Unfortunately it just seemed to lack the originality of Wilfred serving up a pretty sub par story. It was great to see Wilfred out of costume with Adam & Alexis having a similar relationship to their one on Wilfred. You can also see that the TV show 'Lowdown' came from this movie.

It generally failed to grab me, though there was some promise there. See more 02/03/2009 I can't even say it's bad... it's just 1 hour and half of nothingness See more 11/11/2008 two guys from the Wedge? well yes, but it's actually quite funny. in my weird way though. so don't see it and whinge "you said it was funny and it's not!" otherwise i'll punch you in the gunt.
