The opening part of *The Mouse Hunt* is indeed funny—especially the bit where the protagonist’s dad falls into the sewer. After the mouse shows up, the suffering goes on forever, so I skipped most of the scenes where the mouse fights back because they were kind of boring. Honestly, even though the mouse defeats different opponents in different ways, the theme is always the same: the mouse is so powerful that everyone gets humiliated. Even heroes as strong as Spider‑Man or Jackie Chan in *Jackie Chan Adventures* can take down a bunch of foes in a single episode, but they occasionally run into truly formidable enemies that take two or three episodes to defeat—like Venom for Spider‑Man or the Hell Demon in *Jackie Chan Adventures*. If the mouse dominates the whole story from start to finish, isn’t that dull? Is this really just a family comedy meant only for kids? The $25 million auctioned old house gets wrecked by the mouse, and then the mouse follows the two brothers to a textile factory, where it makes a cheesy furball. The brothers end up making peace with the mouse… I think I’ll go watch *How to Train Your Dragon* instead.
