| User ReviewPrivate UAlmost as good as the original, it is faithful to the book. |
| User ReviewDavid LGreat fun, Sunday afternoon fare. I loved this as a kid and I still do as an adult. It might not have Sellers but it's got Margaret and she never made a bad movie. Sit back one Sunday afternoon and just have fun. |
| User ReviewMichael BPeter Sellers didn't reprise any rolls for this film, but that's OK, the film works just fine without him. The special effects are really bad but who cares? The movie is still a lot of fun. |
| User ReviewRamos JInteresting propellant for the trip into space. |
| User ReviewPeter SAn enjoyable sequel to "the Mouse that Roared." which is likable but not that memorable. |
| User ReviewPaul CSadly missing Peter Sellers, this sequel to 'The Mouse That Roared' is still reasonaly good fun with Margaret Rutherford and David Kossof seemingly having lots of fun in their roles. Quirky and quintessentially English. |
| User ReviewPaul DIt doesn't quite scale the same heights without Peter Sellers leading the pack, but with a strong comedy cast this is a perfectly good sequel. |
| User ReviewAmanda CThis classic comedy is great for all ages. Action, humor, astronauts and romance are genres for everyone in the house hold. The first movie, "The mouse that roared," was based off the book. Here, in this film, the movie has the original Professor Kokintz, David Kossoff, and many more splendid actors, Margaret Ruthford, Bernard Cribbins June Ritchie, Terry-Thomas and Ron-Moody, directed by Richard Lester. When Professor accidentally discovers he can have rocket fuel, he begins his research and building on the rocket he received from the Russians. Full of witty humor, the characters make good sport about competing to get to the moon before the Americans and Russians do. The professor has an assistant who is in love with girl from back home. She only promises to mary him only when he returns from the moon because she, herself doesn't not believe him. In this 1980's British comedy, the main characters show calm and collectiveness when come face to face with their competition, the Russians and Americans. When they great them, they invite them down for tea hear until the professor accidentally let slip about the part about whoever arrives home from being the first people gets a fabulous prize. This is a classic movie, and that even the kids will enjoy! |
