peter-kelly00 I rented this movie without knowing anything about it and with no expectations. It turned out to be one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Thomas Michael plays the role of a womanising, heavy drinker who is quite comfortable with his imperfections very well. His character is the deadpan needed for the running jokes throughout the movie. Mike, Paolo Mancini, lives for Easter and brilliantly plays the role of the straight laced guy, who's ready to snap at any moment. Hank and Mike complement each other perfectly, as the two Easter bunnies, with their individual glaring character flaws helping to highlight the underlying sense of reality throughout the film.A stand out performance is Chris Klein, who plays an excellent role as a cut-throat contractor hellbent on making a fast buck at anyones expense, and has one of the best scenes singing The Burning Hells karaoke demonstrating how his character may be more tragic than the two bunnies put together.The bunny suits are a brilliant visual aid and work extremely well to emphasise the darkest moments, of an already extremely dry comedy. The film would still work without the suits and Easter bunnies, but it would lack the satire along with the ability to draw you into a universe where being an Easter bunny is a job and that is how it is.The film is not a rip-roaring comedy adventure in the world of hilarious Easter bunnys, but rather a tragic reality, where you cant help but laugh at the flaws, interactions and one liners the well developed characters have to offer, something akin to Arrested Development or Office Space as opposed to American Pie or anything with Rob Schneider.If you take the time and allow yourself to be taken into their world without expectations of a blockbuster comedy, I hope you will be thankful and enjoy this gem that slipped under the radar.

alex_7140 I tried to watch this on TV today. Based on some user comments, I was expecting to laugh. Big mistake. I watched the first 20 minutes of this movie without even a smile.. nothing is funny in it. You see the 2 guys in bunny suits on the movie cover? Well, they never take those suits off. Being an Easter bunny it's supposed to be their job, but the movie makes them some sort of human-in-pink-bunny-suit hybrid. So, how are the jokes with 2 bunny-guys? They shower in their suits, the use deodorant on top of the suits, they have a special bunny-room at work, and they seem to have sexual relationship with normal (non-bunny) women. I don't know how could anyone find this funny.I'll go spoil some more 'jokes'. The company they work for advertises 'sponsored suicide'. One kid doesn't get her Easter candy, and this is all over the news - swap channels on TV, it's all about how the kid didn't get her sweets. Oh how funny. NOT! Obviously, the 2 stars of this movie missed the kid's house. And they get fired. Oh my God they fired some Easter bunnies. This was also supposed to be funny. Soon after this scene I remembered I was supposed to watch a 'comedy' and have some laughs. So I turned off the TV. This movie wasn't worth the 30 minutes I wasted on it. The reason I decided to write a review (I rarely do this): I was tricked in watching this movie by user comments in IMDb and it's grade of 5.8. I thought, a comedy with 5.8 can't be that bad. So I'm here to rate this movie what it's worth.

pepekwa if you're going to make a movie about real life easter bunnies in a real life setting, you have to make it deadpan and very realistic or surreal and edgy, this doesn't fit into either and as a result you don't know whether to laugh or empathise with the bunnies. I watched this half-cut so I may have missed some gags and I reckon I could like this more second time around but in any case, the writers/actors don't have the comedic presence to make this a hoot and the two "stars" mantegna and Klein are miscast, they should have swapped roles at least and Klein is very uncovincing as the evil, ruthless, corporate slime. There very some funny moments in this like when the bunnies tried to do other jobs but even then, the supporting,oddball characters did little to liven this up. The special features/making of this are about as bloated and long winded as you can get, its heartening to see how much effort and how many years of planning went into this lads but if this is the very best you can do, then erm, don't give up the day jobs, sorry.

intelearts Hank and Mike is a pretty smart offering - off-beat, but on message, this is comedy with a heart as black as 100% pure cocoa: a sweetened center tempered with bitterness.Cynical, surreal, and surprisingly insightful if you enjoyed Office Space you should enjoy this - it's kind of a mix of Bad Santa and Office Space with more that a small touch of the Odd Couple.The alternative reality stuff was saved from being Elf-like by the booze, cigarettes, and foul-language; bless'em. There are only so many jokes about Easter bunnies that work, so they're avoided in the main, though the ones used are good too.The humor is tight and a remarkably good satire emerges. It fails to be a total success, but as a quirky comedy with a gooey satirical center it flies.An Easter Egg of a movie: didn't expect much but we laughed a lot.Recommended.
