Hop

Hmm.  What can I say about this movie, Hop?  It was not a bad movie.  It was certainly harmless fun with nothing dirty or objectionable.  It really had very little to do with Easter and especially had nothing to do with the Christian celebration of Easter.

But, as I said, it was not a bad movie.  It had its moments and fun and occasional humor.  Someone next to me said the movie was "Weird" but this person did not say it was bad...it was just a little "Weird."  Multiple scenes with Dave Hasselhof sort of cement this weirdness.

The premise is that the new Easter bunny doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps and escapes from Easter Island (!) to Hollywood where he meets young Fred O'Hare who wouldn't really mind becoming the Easter "hare."  Fred befriends E.B. (Easter Bunny, I guess) and helps him appear before a talent scout and Fred also upstages his own sister at a school Easter pageant.  Ninja rabbits (or I guess they were called "pink berets") capture the human hero (O'Hare) and take him to Easter Island where an aggressive chicken wants to destroy the old Easter Bunny and O'Hare and deliver his own version of Easter in the form of worms and similar chicken food instead of candy. 

Fred rescues everyone and saves the day.  Ultimately, the new Easter bunny (who also wants to be a drummer) joins with Fred as co-Easter bunnies to deliver the yearly goods when the egg baton passes. 

Hey, it's a buddy picture (once again...is this becoming a Hollywood trend?) with Fred's parents happy that he finally has a decent job.

As I said, it's not a bad movie but is probably just one step above "made for TV."  It seems to have family values with a lot of saying "I'm sorry" and a lot of forgiveness.  You won't have to hold your children's eyes and ears and adults won't fall asleep during the movie.  Hey, there's nothing wrong with that!
