| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe comedy shoots for laughs through slapstick and one-liners. The trouble is things are more cheesy than funny. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsEric LurioThe climax is just what you'd expect...in a good way of course. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAbsolutely one-hundred-percent ridiculous, this is comedy of a higher order, and more maniacally inspired than almost anything released in years. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonMouse Hunt is the cat's meow. Blending the graceful slapstick of Laurel and Hardy with the mock-Gothic visuals of "The Adams Family," this often screamingly funny comedy about a resilient rodent has enough across-the-board appeal to click with audiences of all ages. |
| EmpireGiala MurrayLane as the greedy schemer and the timid, gangly Evans make a good slapstick team, with great support from a cast of larger-than-life characters including Walken as the exterminator who approaches his task with military precision and outrageous hardware. |
| Washington PostJohn KellyA wonderful movie: inspired, hilarious, visually inventive. Just don't take your kids to see it. |
| Los Angeles TimesJack MathewsA virtual replay of the original "Home Alone." It's darker, meaner, sillier, more scatological, and, in rare moments, funnier. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinFar better than you'd expect. Despite its intelligence-insulting premise, Mouse Hunt is a well-crafted, surprisingly smart film that benefits tremendously from the winning chemistry between Lane and talented newcomer Evans. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaThe biggest factor working against Mouse Hunt may be its chilliness. Like some of the Coen brothers' work, it's so stylized that it often keeps you at an arm's length instead of sucking you into its whirlwind. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellAs the family film least insulting to its audience's intelligence this season, Mouse Hunt has its share of grown-up appeal along with mouse mischief guaranteed to have children giggling. |
