From Amazon.com
They've tried Catzilla, a feline so ferocious it can't be euthanized. They've tried booby traps that Rube Goldberg would marvel at. They've even tried Caesar (hilariously played by Christopher Walken), a demented exterminator whose "Squeak Seeker 2000" mouse-cam will infiltrate even the cleverest rodent's secret lair. But the Smuntz brothers Ernie (Nathan Lane) and Lars (British comedian Lee Evans) just can't win against the tenacious mouse that wreaks havoc in the vintage home they've inherited from their father. That's the one-note premise of this chaotic, lavishly produced comedy that starts on a high note and never lets up, eventually leaving the viewer exhausted. The special mouse effects (live-action, animatronic, and computer-generated) are delightful, and the slapstick is frequently ingenious, but the title says it all in a movie that is little more than an elaborate variation of IHome Alone/I. A prime choice for family fun, but it's really just a live-action cartoon that overstays its welcome. It's harmless fun if all you're looking for is a marathon of slapstick gags and pratfalls, and it's notable as the final film appearance of veteran character actor William Hickey, who died in June of 1997, shortly after filming of IMouse Hunt/I was completed. I--Jeff Shannon/I

 Extremely funny and addictive to watch January 30, 2007
David J. Ceremuga (Taylors, SC United States)
I've alway been a Nathan Lane fan, but when I purchased this movie for my 3 and 9 year old daughters, I never imagined it would become one of my all time favorite films. br / br /The whole movie starts by building each character so that you know the type of person each is, before the two are bound together as brothers to sell "The missing Larue". Nathan Lane and Lee Evans steel the show with their acting and slap stick comedy. I've never seen such a perfect mix of on screen personalities. These two act as intelligent, but lacking any common sense brothers who try to sell an inherited house. The house is worth millions, but the brothers get greedy and decide to auction the house. Well in waiting for the auction, the two are introduced to a house resident, the mouse. From that point on, these two keep you laughing till the end of the movie with their idiotic schemes to "kill the mouse". br / br /I've watched the movie with the kids probably a dozen times over the past year. It's a classic that should be in everyone's collection. br / br /One note, there are some slip-up's by the actors. Several times a few cuss words that your kids may not catch slip through. br / br /If you don't buy this one (or rent it), you are missing out on an all time, timeless classic.

Man vs Mouse April 22, 2004

Last week, thanks once again to the wonderful Patio theater located on Irving Park at Austin, I caught a delightful fantasy film. It was the Dreamworks production Mouse Hunt.pTwo brothers inherit the family string business (Smuntz String) and a run-down old house. Neither is worth anything. Or so it seems at first. The house was designed by an eccentric architect named LaRue and was believed to be only a rumor. Suddenly the house is worth millions. Instead of selling outright, the brothers decide to hold an auction to get a better price. But to reach that point they need to do some restoration and get rid of a very determined mouse.pThere are then some scenes of the brothers trying to outwit a mouse that could outwit Einstein. Finally they think they have sent the mouse to Castro and the auction begins. As the price reaches unheard of levels the mouse returns. The brothers are so distraught that they bring about their own ruin and destroy the house. Having nowhere else to go they return to the old string factory. The mouse follows.pOnce in the factory the mouse shows some more of its intelligence by starting up the factory line and adding Gouda to the mix. The result is a new form of string cheese that becomes the rage with the mouse hired on as head taster.pThis movie is truly hilarious. The mouse is great. I believe the mouse is near immortal as well as a genius. I believe this because there is a tendency for owners of the LaRue house to be found locked in a trunk in the attic. We know for a fact that the mouse defeated Christopher Walken (playing the strangest exterminator you have ever seen) and managed to get him from in front of the house into a trunk in the attic. It is even possible that the mouse was responsible for the architect going mad. Whatever the case, this movie is really worth seeing. If you can not find it in a second-run theater, look for it when it comes out on video.
