Mouse Hunt

Although Gore Verbinski's debut feature film did not do great box office, partly I imagine due to its very slim and somewhat reiterative, man vs. mouse premise, Mouse Hunt is an impressively well-made and consistently amusing family-oriented film with clever stunts and special effects and Nathan Lane and Lee Evans in tip-top form as a pair of brothers who inherit a string factory, an old house and a rodent problem that just won't go away.

FYI: Christopher Walken appears as a pest exterminator and Bill Hickey, so memorable in Prizzi's Honour, plays Old Man Smuntz in what was his final screen appearance.
