The movie's appeal is largely the result of the perfectly cast James Marsden as Fred, a lovable slacker who accidentally injures a floppy-eared rabbit who calls himself E.B. (perfectly voiced by Russell Brand).

Despite its scattered frenzy, Hop-thanks to its fondness for smushing together seemingly incongruous elements and Marsden's goofy, bug-eyed mugging-is just demented enough to deliver a fleeting sugar rush.

E.B.(Russell Brand), the son of the Easter Bunny, decides to follow his dream to be a drummer in Hollywood instead of taking over the family business. On his Journey, E.B. has an accidental meeting with Fred (James Marsden) when Fred hits E.B. with his car. E.B. milks his injury and gets Fred to let him stay with him and becomes that nightmare guest everyone fears. This comedy blends animation with live action.
Hopping down the bunny trail just in time for Easter, this adorable tale will make children and adults of all ages smile. A teenage bunny is just about to inherit the title of Easter Bunny, but like every teenager, he has different plans for his future. He wants to travel the world and play in a rock band! One night, as he contemplates his future, he is struck by a car. While injured, he takes up residence with the man who hit him.
Don’t worry everything will be OK in time to make his rounds on Easter. The scene was not that traumatic and he is really only mildly injured. Little ones should not be disturbed at all by the accident scene! The Easter Bunny makes an obnoxious house guest and creates many predicaments for his caregiver. The Easter Bunny is very cute, but not the best house guest in the world. He is a bit of a Prima Donna too, but that’s OK, he’s the Easter Bunny.
The Easter Bunny does play a mean set of drums…and he poops jelly beans…normal flavored ones. That was the type of rude humor that caused it be rated as a PG instead ****. This movie has everything an Easter movie could want. It has lots of candy, candy (the cute, fuzzy yellow kind), and rock-n-roll. This family movie review personally does not see anything that would make this movie questionable for younger children. It was absolutely adorable and this family movie review gives it a green light for any age group. It is cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, so hop on down to the local theater and see this one. Parents, you will definitely want to buy your kids jelly beans before this one, I guarantee.

The most notable thing about Hop is its technical perfection. It puts live action and animation into the same frame so seamlessly that the filmmakers might easily not get credit for it.

Check your driver's license - if you have one, you're probably too old to get the most out of it. If not, you may find your satisfaction a little harder - though not impossible - to come by.

It's supposed to be sweet, but Hop is a headache waiting to happen.

It's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with only one chipmunk, and (if possible) even less fun.

HOP is a surprisingly enjoyable and fun little kids film that makes great viewing for kids and a decent viewing for older audiences just in time for Easter.

Illumination’s live action film, HOP, didn’t age well. It may be fun when you’re watching it as a child, but when you grow older, it doesn’t age well a bit often.
