Pass it on
Mouse Hunt
53Watch it awake.
Greed against a mouse, and against a father's craft. The slapstick is the sermon.
The review
Ernie wants the house sold. Lars still knows how the string is made. The mouse is chaos, and the brothers' war on it is the picture of men who will wreck a home to clear a transaction. The string factory, a real product, is what their father left. The film would rather they make string than flip a mansion.
Cruel in the way old slapstick is cruel, mostly to the brothers. A family can watch it and hear the question: what did we inherit that we are too proud, or too tired, to keep making?
Journal
Keep Mouse Hunt in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 53. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Courage and Republic are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Back to the Future
65 instead of 53
Back to the Future is still a comedy film, and it scores 65 instead of 53. What you gain is household: The plot is the parents' courtship.
