E.B., the Easter Bunny’s teenage son, heads to Hollywood, determined to become a drummer in a rock ‘n’ roll band. In LA, he’s taken in by Fred after the out-of-work slacker hits E.B. with his car.

This is a cure one for the entire family. I know that there are a few cynics out there, who refuse to watch these kinds of movies are just for children. They are partially right, yes, Hop has all the trappings of a ‘kids movie’ in the form of computer generated characters and all of the slap stick comedy. However, Filmmakers have wised up to this fact. They have started to include jokes that will sail over the heads of all the younger viewers, who have forced their parents to hire this video from the local DVD store. So to all the parents out there do not worry this is another one of those movies where you will be able to laugh right along with your kids. Hank Azaria gave a brilliant performance. Fans of Russell Brand should note that he pulls double duty in this movie with a small secondary role as a production assistant.
