About This Program

Mousehunt is a programme presented as a movie‑style comedy. It is listed under the genre “movie” and is identified simply by its title, Mousehunt. The format is that of a film‑like production, though it is classified as a programme rather than a theatrical release. The story centres on two brothers who are determined to put their valuable family home up for auction. Their plans are complicated by the presence of a mouse that has made the house its home. To secure the sale, the siblings engage in a battle of wits, each trying to outsmart the other and the persistent rodent that refuses to leave. The production leans heavily on slapstick comedy, using physical humour and exaggerated situations to drive the narrative. The comedic tone is reinforced by the involvement of two well‑known performers, Lee Evans and Nathan Lane, who bring their distinctive styles to the chaotic attempts at evicting the mouse. Overall, Mousehunt offers a light‑hearted look at sibling rivalry and the lengths people will go to protect a financial opportunity, all framed within a classic, physical comedy structure. The combination of a simple premise, slapstick set‑pieces, and the presence of Evans and Lane defines the programme’s entertainment approach.
