Review of MouseHunt (1997) by Johnny T — 06 Feb 2012

Lane as the greedy schemer and the timid, gangly Evans make a good slapstick team, with great support from a cast of larger-than-life characters including Walken as the exterminator who approaches his task with military precision and outrageous hardware. The film is witty mixing the slapstick with a more adult humour and, although the slapstick is cartoony, it is also clever and imaginative in most cases. Mouse Hunt is the cat's meow. Blending the graceful slapstick of Laurel and Hardy with the mock-Gothic visuals of "The Adams Family," this often screamingly funny comedy about a resilient rodent has enough across-the-board appeal to click with audiences of all ages. It's fairly predictable but a smart, funny and an action-packed slapstick film for the whole family to enjoy. MouseHunt is a real treat. Delivering laughs, heart and fun in equal measure.

VERDICT: "In The Zone" - [Mixed Reaction] These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says buy an ex-rental or a cheap price of the DVD to own. If you consider cinema, ask for people's opinion on the film. (Films that are rated 2.5 or 3 stars).
