Along comes Nikki Morrison (Sondra Locke, also the director) who meets the half-rodent, half-human creature and takes him over. She talks to a Hollywood producer and holds forth about him on a television talk show but when she brings ratboy to a press conference, he bolts for freedom -- enough is enough. The garbage dump was better. From that point onward, Nikki begins to change her mind about her treatment of the misbegotten creature and he develops an ambivalent feeling for her. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review
You'd think Locke would have learned SOMETHING from Clint Eastwood.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Astonishing what you can do if you're Clint Eastwood's girlfriend.
