If you are an old time classic film lover like me, you will love "Mousehunt", a laugh-out-loud family comedy. This movie is a battle of wits between humans and a mouse. Two men inherit a string factory and an old, run down house from their dad. Throughout the film, they battle to get along, but the hunt for the mouse brings them closer. The two brothers, Ernie (Nathan Lane) and Lars (Lee Evans) are hilarious!

I enjoyed "Mousehunt", but it was hard to sit through at times because I love animals so much that it made me a little nervous. It is funny but also has some adult humor. The sets are amazing! They look as if they were torn apart, flooded, and even bombed in one case! The writers do a fantastic job with the comedic timing. It kept me laughing the whole time!

I love Caesar (Christopher Walken) because he is very serious and so funny at the same time. He is the exterminator who Ernie and Lars hire to kill the mouse! He comes into the house telling the brothers that this will be super easy. He is no ordinary exterminator, because to find out about the mouse, he eats and smells the poop! This mouse even out-smarts Caesar. The character Caesar really pulls this film together. I love Christopher Walken from other films such as "Hairspray" and "Click."

My favorite scene is when Lars is in the string factory. He is trying to work the factory by himself because all the workers are on strike. It's really fun to watch because every piece of his clothing gets caught. He struggles to free himself, with no success. It only gets much worse! To find out more about this great scene you should watch the movie!

I recommend "Mousehunt" for ages 10-12. It is a hilarious and heartwarming story. I give "Mousehunt" 4 out of 5 stars, so go check it out! Molly Jackson, age 11, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic.
