Mouse-Hunt (DVD) ... released 04 July, 2005 at Dreamworks Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Dubbed, PAL / What might have been a one-note family comedy becomes something more thanks to the comic brilliance of co-stars Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, as well as the distinctive, dark-fable look given the film by a little-known director named Gore Verbinksi (could he be the next Tim Burton?). Lane and Evans play idiotic brothers who inherit a house and all but destroy it in pursuit of one small, pesky mouse. The guys are always the butt of the sight gags--most of which are very funny--but their considerable powers as slapstick artists are also at play. The climactic scene at an auction was the funniest scene in any American movie in 1997, the year of Mouse Hunt's release. --Tom Keogh

 ... Lee Evans and Nathan Lane shine in their performances as the two brothers. Their acting seems simple yet effective as they try to find new ways of how to get rid of this pesky little mouse! Their roles are extremely believable; the acting around the mouse is incredible as they join forces in order to expel him from the house. The storyline is like 'Tom & Jerry'; except it's not a cat chasing a mouse, but two fully grown human brothers! It's a hilarious film, and the mouse is the centre of attention. The mouse find...more

Premium Review Mouse-Hunt (DVD): "You know, for kids!" (674 words)

From first impressions, you could easily be forgiven for dismissing 'Mouse Hunt' as a simple kids movie. Certainly from the trailers, it looks very much like 'Home Alone' with a mouse - slapstick comedy all the way. But then again, movies do sometimes surprise us, exceed our expectations, and turn out to be so much better than anticipated. This is one of those movies. Out-of-luck brothers Ernie and Lars (Nathan Lane and Lee Evans) inherit a dilapidated old house and the family string factory when their father passes away. After discovering the house may actually be worth a fortune, they embark on a refurbishment before going to auction. The only ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Hunting for the mouse proves more difficult than expected (363 words)

Mousehunt is a 1997 film directed by Gore Verbinski (now better-known for Pirates of the Caribbean) starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans as two down-on-their-luck brothers whose fortunes take a turn when they realise they have inherited a large old house from their dead father. The house turns out to be worth far more than originally thought - but to sell it the brothers have to fight against an unexpected enemy - the little mouse who shares the house! Watching this film is something of a Christmas tradition in my house. My brother got it on video one year (which shows how old we are!) and every year since then we have watched it while wrapping our Mam's ...  Read the complete review
