Hop (2011)

I love this movie so much

The Worst Film Ever

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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.

it is not different by a lot of season films. it has not a remarkable plot. only decent. it is not a technical/artistic revelation. but it has few details who does it nice. and without give memorable impression, it can be not exactly waste of time. EB is that kind of character who has charm and cuteness for be good option for each age expectations. James Marsden does a good work and the links between family members is a not so bad sketch. sure, unrealistic and superficial, it is only a little stone from Easter building but gives two adorable bunnies and that is its fundamental virtue. the number one error - cruel discrimination of chickens. but this is only an insignificant detail.

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.

What a load of old bunkum this is. Absolute, unmitigated drivel.40 year old teenager still living at home with mum and dad needs to get a job...and a life...instead he gets a creepy bunny.Corn is piled on schmaltz is piled on tripe. Bunny screws up face and poos out jelly beans and 40yr old's sister eats them. Hilarious. Laugh? I thought I'd never start. And I didn't.The Hoff plays his part like he was p*ssed up...which he probably was. I don't blame him.And the moral of this story? Follow your dream unless you are a bunny who plays the drums in which case go back to being the Easter Bunny if it pleases your father.Sweet enough to rot your brain.
