Trivia:
Eric Christmas' last film. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the shot when Ernie and Lars head to the factory and we see the striking workers outside the building, a cargo container and a palm tree that are off-set are clearly visible to the left of the screen. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lars: [at their father's funeral, they carry his coffin down the steps of a cathedral] Hold your end up higher, you're not holding it.
Ernie: I am too.
Lars: You are not.
Ernie: Don't worry about me. Hey, isn't that suit charcoal?
Lars: No.
Ernie: Looks charcoal gray to me, some gray polyester blend. Couldn't even find a black suit for your own father's funeral.
Lars: It's black.
Ernie: No, I'm sure it's gray.
Lars: It's black.

Smuntz brothers are Laurel and Hardy type buddies inheriting an old house from the father. They discover that the house is a real classic and worth millions. However the current houseowner, one little mouse will give them a hard time.
Smuntz brothers'war with the mouse is really great fun. Christopher Walken as the Exterminator Caesar with his weird mouse hunt equipment is wonderful.
Don't hesitate to see this film. Though it is rather for kids, it has still much to entertain all. Enjoy it.
