EI > Reviews > Mouse Hunt (1997) 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. www.einsiders.com /reviews/archives/mousehunt.php   (331 words)

MOUSE HUNT 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. www.screenit.com /movies/1997/mouse_hunt.html   (2686 words)

Mouse Hunt “Mouse Hunt” was one of the studio’s early efforts to establish themselves as a full-blown studio. First, however, they have to get rid of the mouse and that turns out to be the challenge of their lives.

Mousehunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Ultimately, during the final encounter with the mouse before the House Auction, Ernie and Lars use a shotgun to accidentally shoot Caesar's obscured flea-bomb (Ernie was aiming down a hole in the floor that the mouse had gone through) and the ensuing explosion makes a massive hole in the floor. During their secret antics with the mouse during the auction, Lars and Ernie attempt to flush the mouse from the walls using a garden hose, leading to major wreckage of the house on the eve of it being auctioned off. All the mouse's antics throughout the movie would therefore have been done for the sole purpose of bringing them to the factory and showing them that they can bring their two obsessions together (cooking and string), thus bringing them closer. en.wikipedia.org.cob-web.org:8888 /wiki/Mousehunt   (1038 words)

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MOUSE HUNT MOUSE HUNT is a film designed to please both children and the perpetual child inside almost all of us.

SoundStage! DVD Review - Mouse Hunt (DTS) In one particular scene, the mischievous mouse is lurking about and a singular bassoon wonderfully underscores the playfulness of the situation. Mouse Hunt is not only a DVD of exceptional technical quality, but it is also a fine film. The exceptional sound combined with the film-like quality of the video transfer make Mouse Hunt a refreshing alternative reference disc to the usual explosion filled mega blockbusters that we are all so accustomed to. www.soundstage.com /video/revdvd/mousehunt_dts.htm   (679 words)

Mouse Hunt - Review - Moviefone Parents should know that children will identify with the fuzzy little mouse, as the Smuntz brothers try to kill it, so there may be some fear when the brothers almost kill it several times with a variety of implements, including a nail gun. Despite its intelligence-insulting premise, Mouse Hunt is a well-crafted, surprisingly smart film that benefits tremendously from the winning chemistry between Lane and talented newcomer Evans. Mouse Hunt is inane, antic cinema in the extreme. movies.aol.com /movie/mouse-hunt/5308/reviews   (402 words)

MMI Movie Review: Mouse Hunt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The film is one bungled Smuntz brothers attempt after another to kill the mouse and the mouse one upping them with a flair worthy of Machiavelli. There's no doubt that this mouse, adorably played by a crack team of trained rodents and one puppet, could take out the Smuntzs in the twitch of a whisker, but he's having too much fun toying with them. "Mouse Hunt" may be too violent for younger kids, but it does have a sweet moral about working and playing well with others for balance and some of the best and most meticulous slapstick since Mack Sennett and Buster Keaton. www.shoestring.org /mmi_revs/mouse-hunt.html   (390 words)

Mouse Hunt "Mouse Hunt" was one of the studio’s early efforts to establish themselves as a major studio.

Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt for Game Boy Color Review - Game Boy Color Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt Review Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt is a fun and exciting sportslike game that lives up the TV show's madcap, albeit sometimes violent, reputation. Jerry has invited all his mouse cousins over for a party, but when Tom learns of the shindig, he formulates a plan of his own--his own personal dinner party. The single-player mode is kept fresh by 25 levels and an increasing number of character cameos, but a bit of human interaction would have elevated Mouse Hunt to all-star status. www.gamespot.com /gbc/action/tomandjerrymousehunt/review.html   (777 words)

Nathan Lane in Mouse Hunt (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Described as "a high energy comedy", and "a cross between Dumb and Dumber and Jumanji", the comedy pits the two main characters (Nathan Lane and Lee Evans) against a mouse (the world's smartest, meanest, and most sadistic mouse, of all things) for residential rights to a valuable, historical mansion inherited by the brothers. Vicki Lewis has said (of Mouse Hunt and Godzilla): "I'm sort of a newcomer to films, so I don't know what to look for in a script.

Mouse Hunt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) In Mouse Hunt Lane and Sabella have come to life, but their modus operandi is the same: clever dialogue on the heels of not-so-clever doings, most involving attempts by Ernie and Lars Smuntz to evict a mouse from the house their father left them. With all this going on, it's easy to miss some of the finer moments in Mouse Hunt, such as Lars' version of his reconciliation with his wife -- "We made love in a way I've only ever seen in nature films" -- or Ernie's description of the object of his disaffection: "He's not a mouse.

MOUSE HUNT movie review with photos, video But the tale is detailed with more than enough surreal sophistication to entertain adults, while their kids are content to cheer on the rodent. Adam Rifkin's screenplay for Mouse Hunt is original, but it clearly shows the influence of such children's writers as the late Roald Dahl, who aren't afraid to explore darker themes and characters. The central combatants, though, are the brothers, Ernie and Lars Smuntz, and the unnamed mouse. www.rochestergoesout.com /mov/m/mouseh.html   (586 words)

Mouse Hunt - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) With a three-inch field mouse in the Macaulay Culkin role, and Nathan Lane and Lee Evans doing the honors as his bumbling pursuers, "Mouse Hunt" is a virtual replay of the original "Home Alone." It's darker, meaner, sillier, more scatological, and, in rare moments, funnier. In the ensuing hunt, Ernie and Lars are blown up, burned, dunked in a frozen pond and nearly drowned in sewage. But it doesn't take long for cute mouse tricks to get old; most of these tricks were old to begin with. www.calendarlive.com /movies/reviews/cl-movie971218-3,2,1050763.story   (448 words)

Mouse Hunt . Austin Chronicle . 12-22-97 Mouse Hunt's rodent isn't evil in a bad way, mind you, just with a touch of malice aforethought. They're obviously strip-mining territory first plundered by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy (at one point, a flustered Lane gives a pair of buxom beauties the old necktie waggle), but Mouse Hunt is so spastically inventive that it's more of a homage than outright theft. The real stars of Mouse Hunt, though, are the animatronic and computer-generated mouse effects by Stan Winston and Rhythm and Hues, respectively. www.filmvault.com /filmvault/austin/m/mousehunt1.html   (428 words)

Mouse Hunt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Unfortunately, when a mouse is the smartest thing you've got going for you in a movie, you're in trouble. Mousehunt does have some cute spots when the mouse is onscreen, but when he's not (which is the case for an unbearably large portion of the film), the film grinds to a tediously boring halt. When they're simply acting as cartoony foils against the mouse, their depth is sufficient, but when the film asks them to carry its full weight, they instantly collapse. www.cinematter.com /movie.php3?mousehunt   (442 words)

Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Mouse Hunt I know I make every effort not to make comparisons with What Has Come Before, but the creators and stars of Mouse Hunt are living in deep denial if they think that anyone over the age of 15 or so won't make the connection to classic Laurel and Hardy movies. Stars Nathan Lane and Lee Evans look like Stan and Ollie, and their fight to rid an old mansion of a mouse is classic Laurel and Hardy-style tale. Were Cranky able to set his own price to Mouse Hunt, he would have paid. www.crankycritic.com /archive/mousehunt.html   (389 words)

This Mouse Won't Hunt Washingtonpost.com - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) People who don't hunt sometimes imagine all hunters as backwoods bubbas or weekend warriors from the city who can't shoot straight. Hagberg, as the Los Angeles Times noted, worked a computer mouse with his mouth and tongue on Saturday, April 9, to shoot at an antelope on a game reserve near Boeme, Texas, while lying in bed in Ligonier, a town in northeastern Indiana. Shooting animals through an Internet connection might seem distasteful to those who oppose hunting on moral grounds to begin with, but using a broadband connection to bag game isn't any better or worse than doing it in person. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0NTQ/is_2005_April_23/ai_n13675610   (884 words)

The Ultimate Mouse Hunt | Tom's Hardware   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The performance of an optical mouse is difficult to analyze because numerous parameters come into play, and the results are always a compromise. For an optical mouse, end performance is the result of a long, complex process that includes analysis of the surface, calculation of coordinates and transmission to the computer. A mouse's sensor takes a continuous series of "photographs" of the surface over which the mouse is moving. www.tomshardware.com /2005/09/12/the_ultimate_mouse_hunt   (407 words)

Last check: 2007-10-12) 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 Home Alone. Problem is, the abandoned mansion is inhabited by a wily mouse who refuses to be evicted. I damn near wet myself at his short role, especially when the mouse bests him, walks right across his prone forehead, and leaves a little gifty on his lips as it scurries past. www.amazon.com.cob-web.org:8888 /Mouse-Hunt-Nathan-Lane/dp/0783231172   (1663 words)
