Why is this movie rated a 3/5for "sexy stuff"? There is maybe one scene with anything like that.and its not so blatant that a kid could see what's up. So.I'm perusing through some reviews after I do a Google search trying to find out what time frame mouse hunt is set in (any guesses?) and I come across all this ridiculousness. There also are some moments of subtle and not-so-subtle sexual innuendo: A character talks of "making love like in nature films," the greedy wife of one of the lead characters appears in his office in lingerie, and the pursuit of the mouse leads to the two lead characters sticking their hands down the dresses of two women, and, later, unzipping the fly of one of the characters as he screams "Get it out!" There's also occasional profanity ("hell," "son of a bitch," "bastard").
Early in the film, the mayor vomits a cockroach while eating in a fancy restaurant. This same exterminator eats a piece of mouse excrement to determine its diet. There are some moments of inappropriate humor: The two lead characters are covered in excrement after accidentally destroying the sewer line with a vacuum, and the exterminator they hire ends up flat on his back with the mouse defecating on his mouth. In the opening scene, the two brothers drop their father's coffin at the top of the church stairs, resulting in the corpse flying out of the coffin and into a manhole. The mouse fills the house with gas later and blows the brothers sky-high.
The two lead characters use a variety of implements to try to kill a mouse, including a shotgun and a nail gun. Parents need to know that Mouse Hunt is a 1997 movie filled with unrelenting comedic pratfall-style violence.
