Plots(1)
Blending state of the art animation with live action, Hop is a comedy about E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand), the teenage son of the Easter Bunny. On the eve of taking over the family business, E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer. He encounters Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker with his own lofty goals, who accidentally hits E.B. with his car. Feigning injury, E.B. manipulates Fred into providing him shelter, and Fred finds himself with the world’s worst houseguest. (official distributor synopsis)

Saturday afternoon. A fairy-tale ahead. At the beginning it’s animated, later with live actors and eventually a combination of the two. The actors were OK, the story was typically fairy-tale like. The animation was pretty OK. A three-star rating is completely adequate. A clear hour and a half.

I don't even know why I went to see this movie. Perhaps because of Kaley Cuoco, but even in her case, my expectations were not fulfilled. It’s a stupid Easter movie about how hard it is to be the Easter Bunny. Movies where animated characters exist in an otherwise real environment have never been very successful. You can't beat Roger Rabbit. This unfunny and uninteresting attempt definitely can’t.
