not for my child
This movie was a library rental and HUGE disappointment. It started out well enough. The mouse is cute and outsmarts everyone that tries to get rid of him. (thought seriously, as dumb as the adults were, this isn't a huge leap). But between the sexual overtones, man's hands down women's blouses, foul language, etc. etc. we had to fast forward a lot of the film. (and this was in the children's section of the library) DISGUSTING.

I liked it, exept my one concern was when Lars and April almost get into having sex, even though it doesn't show it, also Lars is so stunned he drops the material he is using to cover which is most likely his penis, which clearly states his penis is showing in mid air. Obviosly it is not that bad but in a way, there still is sex in this movie (technically).

 
Disappointing
I was looking forward to having my 6 year old see this movie based on the Common Sense Review. I was very surprised by the language and sexual innuendo. The violence was cartoon-like. Some of the language used: "Son of a b....", "basta.." There was a scene of Lee Evan's wife stripping down to a negligee and seducing him. Lee Evans speaking about how he and his wife "made love like animals". Later a scene with Nathan Lane gladly fondling a ladies breasts. How this was marketed as a kids flik is beyond me. The 6+ age rating given by this website is ludicrous.

Senseless cruelty and destruction far from funny
There is barely any plot. The movie consists of a string of violent pratfalls as humans are outwitted by a rodent. Dispect for animals (a cat gets it too) is a wrong message for kids and adults alike. The senselss distruction of property adds nothing to the pratfalls and the hurt and pain inflicted by the mouse on its pursuers is unnecessary and distressing. I don't believe that every movie needs to have a "moral" but passing this hateful cruft off as comedy is wrong. Sometimes violence and destruction have a place in movies: I personally enjoyed "Apocalypse Now" and "La Femme Nikita" but I knew what I was getting into and no one was pretending that they were "family fun." Passing this movie off as "family" and "comedy" is sugar-coating the poison. That makes it all the more dangerous. If it had been packaged as a dark thriller in which mayhem is exacted by a psychopathic mouse, I would have gone for it. The highlights of the movie (on DVD): The trailer showing the mouse doing incredible shadow puppetry, and the excised scene where Lee Evans is trying to track down the source of a squeek. Even in that scene, the character gets hurt. Avoid this movie.

 
Too much violence and bad language
I love Nathan Lane and thought this would be fun for my 7-yr-old, especially after checking the CommonSense review. Well, she and her friend laughed, but I was cringing the whole time. Not only is there too much violence and mayhem, but I thought I heard a bunch of swears (worse than S.O.B.) the CommonSense folks must not have heard. And it wasn't actually all that funny.

 
Toss it!
Not for families with children at all- this movie is awful. My kids were offended, my husband was appalled and I was horrified. Definitely not a good movie for kids. Sexual situations, lingerie and animal cruelty that sent one of my kids from the room. It was shown to my kids at a family get together, I wish I'd double checked on it and the 6+ rating is so very far off. Avoid this movie.
