 | Mouse Hunt is actually "darker" than you might think-- making it more of a treat for discerning adults but perhaps also making it inappropriate for really young children (although the shrieks of delight from every kid at the screening I attended suggest I should just lighten up). |
| That said, Mouse Hunt is a very fun ride, featuring brilliant comic acting by Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, a Laurel and Hardy for the 90's, as the Smuntz brothers, whose good fortune in inheriting a house created by an historic architect is severely tempered by a pesky mouse out to defend his turf. |
| The mouse, though a fraction of the size of a T-rex or an alien bug, is a dazzling achievement in special effects, the most well-executed of the year. |
| MOUSE HUNT (2686 words) |
| Showing the mouses miniature world of tunnels and passageways, Papamichael allows us to "be" the mouse and there are quite a few fun moments to be had. |
| Whether the little mouse is scampering across the floor or swinging from a light bulb's pull chain from one shelf to the next (ala Indiana Jones), the results will delight kids and parents alike. |
| Soon the mouse is surrounded and trapped by nails with only one spot left for the final nail that might mean his death by impalement. |
