Mouse Hunt

Fun old movie & well worth the price.

Brilliant. A savagely funny battle of wills between a poor little mouse and two dimwitted brothers down on their luck. It takes a great deal of ingenuity to turn a much hated rodent into a lovable little hero (of sorts). Rodents are never appreciated under the best of circumstances. In this context, you actually find yourself cheering for him. The attempts to kill the intruder are varied and many, from a psychotic cat that can't be killed (Catzilla) to an expert exterminator (played to perfection by Christopher Walken). Everything they try backfires in an ever escalating fashion. "This is how accidents happen." One brother observes. Boy, is he ever right! And even though they believe they can outsmart the mouse ("I like to use both sides of my brain."), bad luck and their own incompetence constantly gets in their way. Yes, the premise is limited to the title, this is a movie about hunting down and killing a mouse. But limited or succinct doesn't automatically mean it isn't a well made farce. This movie is filled with bizarre pantomime, marvelous sight gags, and great dialog. It's a delight. It never fails to cheer me up every time I watch it. It's definitely one of my favorite Nathan Lane movies.

A good comedy movie, the little mouse is hilarious in the movie.

A really fun movie. Good for a family viewing.

'90s classic movie that you can show your kids today

When I was eleven back in 1997, I got Mousehunt on VHS. It's a movie I remember watching a lot over the years. So I decided why not and bought Mousehunt on DVD. Mousehunt involves two brothers, Ernie and Lars Smultz (Nathan Lane and Lee Evans respectively) inheriting their father's string factory and an old decrepit house. After Lars is thrown out of his house by his wife and Ernie loses his reputation and restaurant after a fatal incident involving a roach, the two move in together at the old house where they ultimately discover the house they believed to be worthless is actually worth millions. Unfortunately, the house also comes with another tenant--a single mouse that seems to be much smarter than the average mouse. Much of the humor of the movie comes from the two brothers' efforts in getting rid of the mouse who just seems to survive everything and turn it back on the humans. It's really more of a slapstick kind of comedy movie. Perhaps as much as The Three Stooges might have been, but it's there. There's a few more special features on the DVD than this Amazon page lets on. Listed on the back of my DVD are "From The Cutting Room Floor", production notes, cast and filmmakers' bios, and the theatrical trailers (none of which I have actually watched yet since getting the DVD recently). But I should point out though the DVD I received is NOT the one used in the main image. I got the one that looks like the third image, with Nathan Lane in a chef's hat and the mouse on front so that might be the reason. It's certainly just a fun movie, if anything. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy that you don't have to work to get into, grab a bowl of popcorn and get this.

Awesome

Great comedy. Looking forward to watching it on Blu-ray.

A great little, silly, funny and thoroughly family oriented movie. It makes absolutely no sense, has no great social message and no abysmal language to deal with, therefore it is nothing else except 90 minutes or so of fun entertainment. I highly recommend it for family viewing.

MouseHunt DVD, this film ive seen before, but had to watch again, its very funny. 😀 two brothers who inherit a string factory, also inherit an old house. Tho seemingly empty and falling to pieces, the house is occupied by a mouse. The mouse is very smart, and has no plans to move out of his home. 😃 a brilliant conmedy with Lee Evans and Nathan Lane. Highly recommend this wonderful film. 😅 🐭

Boa qualidade

Nothing to dislike - love it.

Aunque no sea una gran película la quería tener en la colección 😄 por nostalgia, el dvd es región 1 por lo que solo se reproducen en dvd multi región o PC, tiene subtítulos y audio Español latino que ya conocemos
