Physical comedy is extremely hard and demanding thing and in my books only comedic icons like Buster Keaton or Jacques Tati has succeeded with it. But to watch actors like Nathan Lane and Lee Evans trying to be funny while running and screaming is as funny as someone farting your face.
Gore Verbinski creates an interesting milieu for his film and that creepy old mansion where most of the film takes place definetly deserved a better story than this film has.
Mousehunt is annoying as hell and frustrating to sit through. There are no innovation here, there are no laughs of anykind and there is nothing that would make it worth to watch. Kids will possibly be more comapssionate towards it but for adult audience Mousehunt is just pure torture with crappy CGI.
