1998
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?).

In this energetic and highly inventive comedy, Nathan Lane and Lee Evans play the hapless brothers who inherit a valuable old house but find it is already occupied by a pesky rodent. There's stacks of Laurel and Hardy-style visual comedy as the pair wreak havoc in their bid to rid themselves of the furry fiend, though adults may prefer Christopher Walken's hilarious turn as an exterminator to the more obvious sight gags. The darker touches might upset younger children and, with over 60 mice used for the animal stunts, the film is definitely not for viewers with a phobia of rodents. But for sheer verve, this slice of family entertainment is hard to beat.

-
"...[A] bright comedy....MOUSE HUNT has its share of grown-up appeal along with mouse mischief guaranteed to have children giggling..."
