The listing, VHS "MOUSE HUNT" STARS NATHAN LANE & MOUSE THAT WON'T GO FROM INHERITED MANSION! FUNNIEST EVER! has ended.
PRISTINE ,IN A CLAMSHELL!
For the longest time, live action comedies with animals usually feature dogs. But by the 1990s, robots and computer effects had advanced to the point that the two funniest animal comedies featured a pig and a mouse. This was the less famous of the two, but is every bit as good. (for me--BETTER as it is a whole family movie!) The story is simple; two brothers inherit a mansion and try to spruce it up for an auction. Unfortunately for them, a mouse inhabits the mansion and counters their every move. Their game of cat-and-mouse ends with the mansion being destroyed Ha Ha Ya gotta see!!. The movie is a comedy, and like all good comedies, it examines a fundamental human flaw, in this case greed. The greed of the two brothers, their families, and of the various individuals who want to buy their mansion. The mouse itself looks quite real, even in the close-up shots. The style of comedy is a combination of old-fashion slapstick, wry British dialogue, . overall, the entire movie is suitable for all ages.
Some notable things about this movie. First, it was the first big outing for Gore Verbinski, who would go on to make" Pirates of the Caribbean"!. Second, one cannot spot a single brand name in this movie. Only one other movie has such a distinction; Dick Tracy. And like Dick Tracy, the viewer really cannot guess the decade in which this movie takes place. For sure it happened in the 20th century, since a television, radio, and automobiles are present. But the dress, hairstyle and even language are nondescript. This movie is fun to watch, and a piece of art; I highly recommend it. I wouldn't be selling it but I* have secured another and this in Pristine condition.
