Beneath Easter Island, in a giant factory that manufactures the world's Easter candy, the popular rabbit is preparing to pass the mantle to his son, E.B. (Russell Brand). But E.B. has no interest in the job and would rather be a drummer. He runs away to Los Angeles, where an unemployed slacker named Fred O'Hare (James Marsden) accidentally runs into him. Feigning injury, E.B. tricks Fred into giving him shelter, but an oversized chick is planning a coup back on Easter Island.

Critics Consensus

It's impressively animated, but Hop's script is so uninspired that not even James Marsden's frantic mugging can give it any bounce.

Props, though, to the WTF musical interlude featuring the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Kids will love Brand's frenetic drumming take on E.B., adults will love that there are a few clandestine adult jokes.

Rated: B

Watching great movies is what makes life worth living. Hop is not one of those movies. Far from it. Far ... far from it.

Crude humor in a movie aimed at children is a deal-breaker, but Playboy bunny jokes are lazy even in movies for adults.
