Synopsis

The hapless Smuntz brothers are delighted to discover that the ramshackle house they've inherited from their father is actually a long-forgotten, neglected architectural treasure worth millions. But auctioning the dwelling proves complicated when the house's current resident, an intrepid field mouse, balks at their attempts to evict him. A fierce turf war breaks out, but the real winner is Christopher Walken, who walks off with the movie in a bit as a sadistic exterminator. A symphony of slapstick, conducted with both animatronic and live mice by debut director Verbinski, heretofore best known for creating the "Budweiser" frogs.

Critics' reviews

• "Far better than you'd expect. Despite its intelligence-insulting premise, Mouse Hunt is a well-crafted, surprisingly smart film"
• "Mouse Hunt' is inane, antic cinema in the extreme. But even if half the gags don't quite work, the other half are inspired"
• "A virtual replay of the original 'Home Alone.' It's darker, meaner, sillier, more scatological, and, in rare moments, funnier. Read full review"
• "A wonderful movie: inspired, hilarious, visually inventive. Just don't take your kids to see it."
• "[It] emphasizes its banality by throwing money and effort into effects and production design at the expense of pacing"
