About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a live-action, cartoonish slapstick comedy with constant mishaps and a slightly dark edge, in the spirit of Nanny McPhee or The Santa Clause; Not for you if you dislike broad, repetitive chaos.
Pros: big slapstick laughs; charming oddball tone; strong comic pairing | Cons: repetitive mouse-vs-humans beats; over-the-top destruction; humor can feel mean
