Acerca de esta película

Gore Verbinski, the TV-commercials director responsible for the Budweiser frogs, directed this Adam Rifkin screenplay about two brothers (Nathan Lane and Lee Evans) who inherit a string factory and a decaying country home after the death of their father (the late William Hickey, in his last role). After moving in, they learn that the house has historical architectural importance and is valued in the millions. However, they are constantly tormented by a mouse within the walls. They engage in cartoon-like combat against the rodent, but it manages to outwit the brothers in successive situations. Both live and animatronic mice portray the title role, and some scenes assume the mouse's point of view. The film is dedicated to William Hickey.

Marketed as a ridiculous children's film, and at times is no more than that, Mouse Hunt really is deep down the story of two brothers who are struggling with their former relationship to their late father and the current relationship with each other in life. What gets in the way is a ridiculously silly Tom & Jerry like hunt for a mouse, but there really is more to the movie than that. Jerry Goldsmith infects us with a stupidly hummable score, director Verbinski shows us he can successfully make almost any kind of film, and the over-the-top performances of Nathan Lane and Lee Evans really sell the absurd yet completely entertaining situations.

Comedy. Fun, family, you will laugh at the antics through out the movie. A must see if you want a movie to make you laugh. Great for all ages, from children to adults. Everyone will find some entertainment in this movie, but prepared to laugh. It was intended as a children's movie and at times you will realize it can be a little goofy, but it is very entertaining

The age says 6-12...it was not appropriate for a 6-10 year old. If we would have know the content we would not have let them watch it. And it was supper cheese, pun intended...
