Hop (2011) 7/10

Starring : James Marsden, Russell Brand, Kaley Cuoco, Hank Azaria, Hugh Laurie
Director : Tim Hill
Running Time : 92 mins

EB (Brand) is the son of the Easter Bunny (Laurie) and wants nothing more than to be a drummer instead of following in the family tradition so, running away from his family home on Easter Island, he heads to Hollywood – the city where dreams come true. There he meets Fred O’Hare (Marsden), a twenty-something slacker who will do anything to avoid work, and they reluctantly become friends. But while EB is away, Carlos (Azaria) the Easter chick hatches a plan to overthrow the Easter Bunny business and run it himself.

Primarily this is just a kid’s movie, but there are a few moments that will appeal to adults too. There are some funny moments sprinkled throughout the movie, but the flimsy plot and weakly connected scenes tend to be a bit of a let-down overall. Little kids will love the cute characters and the toilet humour, but might get a bit creeped out by Carlos the Easter chick-bunny.
