My Response: The first time I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters, someone shouted out "Hey, Ratatouille 2! Yea!" Thankfully, this film is in no way affiliated with Remy and Emile. And on a slightly related note, this movie reminds me a lot of star Matthew Broderick. The first time you saw him as Ferris Beuller, you got excited. "What an awesome dude!" you shouted. Then, his career continued on...and on...and on...and you realized he's not really anything like the greatness he once appeared to be. Skip it.
