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.

Rated: C-

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

I absolutely loved this movie when it first come out. How could I not bunnies adorable, Easter island factory oh yummy candy, and an adorable bunny that love music. If you love all Easter, bunnies, candy, and music then this movie perfect for you. Spoil alert This story is about E.B. who loves to play drums. His dad is the Easter bunny now but when E.B. grows up he will be the Easter bunny. E.B. isn’t sure he could do it. Fred a human kid on Earth sees the Easter bunny one night. Years later Fred is all grown up and his dad is mad at him for not having a job. His sister helps him get possibly another job and to watch her boss’s house for a few days. Fred agrees. E.B. now all grown up still playing the drums. His dad comes and demands him to become the Easter bunny. E.B. decides to follow his dream to become a drummer. He goes to Hollywood. Meets Fred at the boss’s house. The next day E.B. tells Fred he’s the Easter Bunny. Fred’s job interview doesn’t go well. Sam holds E.B. unaware he is a real and talking bunny. Fred and E.B. perform a song at a school play. E.B. tells Fred who he really is and that he doesn’t want to be the Easter bunny. Fred wants to be the Easter bunny. Fred and Carlos train to be Easter Bunny/Easter Chick. E.B. is close to getting his dream but the Easter bunny’s guards come so he leaves Fred behind. Unaware that Fred was kidnapped and taken to Easter island for the death of E.B. finding out that he didn’t kill him. Carlos shows his true colors to the Easter bunny that he wants to be the Easter chick and locks them up. E.B. goes back home and saves everyone on Easter island. E.B. and Fred become the Easter Bunnies. Fred and his dad make up. E.B. and Fred go back to Easter island
