Ratatouille (2007)

Corrected entry: French star ratings only go up to three stars. However Gesteau gets a five star rating. This is maybe because English people would not understand why a three star rating is superior in French guides.

Correction: This is an absurd generalisation. The well-known Michelin rating system uses three stars as a maximum, but other rating systems use different methods, such as awarding points (as in the prestigious Gault Millau guide) or an alternative number of symbols (not limited solely to stars) as a potential maximum. The rating system is never named within the film and thus cannot be identified with any real-life rating method and, in all likelihood, is intended to be entirely fictional; as such, it cannot be said that giving Gusteau's restaurant five stars is an error.
