Review of MouseHunt (1997) by Michael G — 11 Apr 2009

This is one of those movies that catches you off-guard. As campy and seemingly silly as it is and it's still all around fun. From the first opening minutes you'll see some of the humor is a bit on the dark-side, which is what holds it's appeal.

The brothers both seem dim witted, yet lovable. You see their just as fumbling and off as many of us have felt at times, which helps us relate to the characters. The way the CGI and the mouse was done gives a real sense of interaction, and a surprise cameo by Christopher Walken is a nice surprise.

Yet in the end, without giving too much away, it's about tolerance and someone trying to find a balance to everything and their surroundings.
