I heard about "The Borrowers" when it got released but wasn't interested in seeing it. Now that I've seen it, I can say that it's pretty enjoyable, despite the occasional crude humor. Much of it reminded me of the similarly themed "Mouse Hunt", released around the same time (I would avoid comparing either one to the overrated "Home Alone").
It got released around the same time as three other movies co-starring John Goodman: "Fallen" (an obvious ripoff of Wes Craven's "Shocker"), "Blues Brothers 2000" (I must've been the only person who liked that one) and "The Big Lebowski".
I had never realized that "The Borrowers" was based on a book until after watching this (there's also been a couple of other small-screen adaptations). For now at least, I'll only know this one. Pretty fun.
The rest of the cast includes Jim Broadbent, Hugh Laurie (Dr. House), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Bradley Pierce (of "Jumanji").
