MOUSE HUNT * (Theatrical Release USA 1997)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Mouse Hunt—lovable, sweet, comical—couples DreamWorks with Director Gore Verbinski in his directing debut and takes the big screen by storm. The story is flat out wonderful. The script so well-written that it deserves re-watch status. Great work for all involved.
