Review By Genevieve Point
Director: Tim Hill
Cast: James Marsden, Russell Brand, Kaley Cuoco, Hank Azaria, Elizabeth Perkins, Gary Cole, Chelsea Handler, Hugh Laurie
Synopsis: Blending state of the art animation with live action, Hop is a comedy about E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand), the teenage son of the Easter Bunny. On the eve of taking over the family business, E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer. He encounters Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker with his own lofty goals, who accidentally hits E.B. with his car. Feigning injury, E.B. manipulates Fred into providing him shelter, and Fred finds himself with the world’s worst houseguest.
Review: Here is another one of those holiday myth movies that is definitely for both kids and adults alike. Colourful, humorous and beautifully made to the just the right point so that it’s not too boring or too over-stimulating. The mix of both animated characters and live actors just about the best mix so far.The wonderful opening scenes of Easter Island and the factory just about had mouths watering and wishing that you could be there. This movie is all about believing in your dreams but making them happen. Written by Universal Studios, this movie stars the voices of Russel Brand (Get Him To The Greek), James Marsden (X-Men) and Kayley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory). The humour keeps coming in droves.The colour and humour make this movie a must see these holidays. Giving a turn to the Easter Bunny story. Even though Carlos stole the movie a bit it was absolutely laughable. Hollywood, drums and cute bunnies are the best combination these holidays for sure.This movie just about proves to people that if they believe in not only themselves but also they’re friends they will succeed.
