Mouse Hunt (1998, DVD)

Movie Description
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.

    Ernie and Lars Smuntz father passes on and leaves them with nothing but a bankrupt string factory and an old dilapidated house. They discover that their house is the Missing "LaRue". The Smuntz brothers decide that they will fix up the house and sell it to the highest bidder. Little do they know that the house is really run by an evil little mouse who goes about doing everything it can to destroy the Smuntz brothers plan.

    This is a very cute and funny movie that your whole family can enjoy.
    Leading roles are played by Nathan Lane(Ernie Smuntz), Lee Evans(Lars Smuntz,
    Vicki Lewis, and Michael Jeter(Mr. Noodle from Sesame Street)

    A great movie that is good for the whole family. Funny, slapstick comedy and a happy ending. Heartwarming and original. You'll laugh no matter how old you are, and cheer for the mouse!

    One of the funniest comedies ever, directed by Gore Verbinski, who went on to direct the three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Nothing to dislike and a fun experience. Bought as a gift which was much appreciated ...even by a four year old boy!
