henryhertzhobbit Warning! Ages over 12 into adult will probably not like this film except for those that retain some of their childhood. Teenagers will not like it.It is sort of a cross between Alvin and the Chipmunks and Polar Express in feel. It is about the animated son of the Easter Bunny named E.B. and his real world pal who is sort of like him. So like Who Framed Roger Rabbit it combines animation with real people. What got my attention was that rabbit hole on a Pacific Island. Well, not literally but you will get the idea when you think about that hole for a while. The animation of the Easter Factory was superb which was why I raised it from an eight to a nine. It is short on story line. But the way they merged real people with animation made the movie fun and refreshing. It is recommended for children and those who like animation. Who would have thought a movie with the title Hop would be a pleasant little film? It didn't win any awards but it will entertain most young children.
KGinColo This movie gets three stars because it started out well and it looks good, but it ended with a thud. HOP starts out well enough, as a cute coming-of-age movie (a bunny's coming-of-age). E.B., unsatisfied with the life assigned to him, sets out to see the world and to find his own identity. The first human E.B. interacts with is shocked to find a talking rabbit, but then, inexplicably, other humans don't seem bothered by the oddity. That human, Fred, lives in a huge, huge mansion in California, but we never learn what Fred's father does to earn his riches. For some odd reason, 24-year-old (?) Fred and his older (?) sister aren't allowed to go upstairs into their parents' bedroom. Why is that? How shallow is it that Fred's father is so disapproving until Fred lands the ultimate job at the end? Couldn't they have developed a father character who seemed hard to please, but yet had unconditional love and acceptance of his children? Interestingly, the Easter Bunny (E.B.'s father) was just this character--he had high standards for his son but loved him anyway.The movie goes downhill fast when Fred and E.B. steal the show at Fred's sister's Easter program. And finally, the takeover of Easter Island by the chicks just seems to be something thrown in at the last minute, an addition. The movie should have been one or the other---either the story of E.B.'s coming-of-age with Fred in California, or the story of a hostile takeover by the chicks, but it doesn't work as both.Save your time and money and watch something else.
ironhorse_iv I guess I will never eat Jelly Beans after watching this movie, and you would probably do the same after watching an Easter Bunny take a dump on screen. Yes, this is Hop. The kid's movie with poop jokes, playboy bunnies, and a bunny wanting to mate with a human. Honestly, why are these questionable crude humor jokes in here? They have a brand marketing pornography company, scat, and bestiality humor in a children's movie! This is a kid's movie, not a stand up special. I have to give the movie some credit, as there isn't a lot of Easter's movies out there, and it as less gave it a try. Still, the movie's plot wasn't that well form out, and kinda dumb. I'm just mad because it could have been better. The movie opening pretty much sums up the movie so you don't really have to watch it. No really, it's explains the history of the Easter Bunny and why the newest one is different from them all. The movie spoils the ending in the first couple of minutes in the film, so the audience is only left with the question; how did this happen? E.B (Russell Brand) is the Easter Bunny's son (Hugh Laurie) who doesn't want to be the new Easter Bunny after his father retires, so he runaway to Hollywood, determined to a rock and roll star. It was here that he meets Fred O'Hare (James Marsden) when Fred hit E.B with his car. Fred is a young man who can't seem to find a job that he's passionate about. More like, he's a slacker who can't seem to find any job at all. In my opinion, I think James Marsden as a slacker seems to be a miscast. I can't see him in any role like that. He doesn't even look like a slacker. In the film, he is pretty well dress, unshaven, and in great shape. I think the movie should have at less, gave him a job that he has, but didn't like. It's more realism than him not working at all. Well, E.B callously and selfishly ruining Fred's life throughout the film with big messes as its bypass as slapstick humor. While Fred and the rabbit become unlikely roommates in a borrowed mansion, at the Easter Bunny's factory hidden deep inside the mouth of a Moai statue on Easter Island is Carlos the Chick (Hank Azaria). I was kinda disappointed by Hank here, as he doesn't give anything new to the role and wasn't funny at all. Carlos wants to take over the factory after being pass over for the job of the Easter Bunny and sees E.B disappearing as a way to gain access. The movie got controversy because some people views Hop depicts Hispanics as deluded and dangerous. Throughout the film, Carlos speaks in broken English with a strong mock-Spanish dialect. Consequently, the film reinforces the belief that Mexicans who speak English with a thick accent are somehow stupid, unqualified, or a joke. I can see that, but I really don't think Carlos was create just for something like that. He's just a silly character with a voice that Hank choice for him. He could have a Scottish voice and still seem like a negative portrayal. So not only does E.B leaving cause chaos in his wake on Easter Island, but its brings a lot of trouble in the human world as well. The premise of the story is a lot like director Tim Hill's earlier Alvin and the Chipmunks films, a man without direction finds his purpose through an unlikely relationship with a cute talking animal and like that movie, the lack of wit or real humor made this movie a real chore to sit through. The movie tries too hard to live up to Christmas movies, by stealing or having similar things to Christmas movie to get kids more into the film. Why on earth did they give the Easter Bunny, a magic sled, if they have a magic hole in the ground that can take them anywhere in the world that works better? It doesn't make any sense. It's doesn't have to make any sense, it's a kid movie. Don't ask the movie to have depth, or meaning. Still, the movie has some pretty good cameos such as David Hassellhoff, Kaley Cuoco, Gary Cole, Chelsea Handler and yes, even Russell Brand yet again as a different character. The movie isn't going to hurt your kids, so it's watchable. The animated/live-action hybrid film genre's movie is probably going to continue, and 'Hop' will join the films likes such as The Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks as really bad movies, but makes a million dollars anyways because it's just something to babysit your children with. Honestly, this movie should be a last resort as a family event for Easter. It's healthier for them to do outdoor activities with their parents than watch this movie in my opinion.
crecentroll Unless you are a little kid or have the IQ of one you probably wont find this to be that great of movie. The story is silly, the comedy is lacking, the scenes aren't fulfilling and rather goofy. I think this great for kids as most kids wont realize how bad this is. I did watch the whole movie though and I did rather enjoy the little evil chicken. Also the fact that no one seemed surprised to see a talking rabbit was a little weird too. It seems like it is just another chipmunk type movie, kids love it, some adults will like it and hardly anyone will watch it a second time. I would expect the creators of despicable me to do a little better. There is the argument that this is a kids movie and yes that is true but why can't a kids movie be as equally enjoyable to adults like with Rango, Shrek, Despicable Me and so on?
