I have read all thirteen pages of comments, and there is not ONE mention of this paean to slapstick anywhere. Nathan Lane is brilliant, and there is an incredible cameo from Christopher Walken as a psychotic exterminator. My kids LOVED this movie - we saw in in the theatre twice, and umpteen times when it came out on DVD. The mouse (the star of the movie), is a real live mouse, not computer-generated, and has more personality than half the "actors" working today.
Also, Milo and Otis, and Homeward Bound (the first one.) Very nice, sweet "animal" movies that boys and girls both love.
