I honestly can't explain why this movie got so many positive postings. It's dreadful. Great actors (Pete Postlewaite and Imelda Staunton) had to have signed onto this weak script for the cash, not the script. It was 91 minutes long. I got the idea (not much of one) in about 2 minutes. The remaining 89 minutes creep along, with barely a joke. I did watch the entire film, most of all because I was in a state of shock by how un-funny it was.
If you're looking for Jim Henson-like mouse/rat effects, rent "The Witches", which is about a million times more entertaining than this film, and contains clever mouse effects.
As for this film....
Go get a Guiness and watch something better.
