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.
Flop would be closer.
A soulless and depressing film, with plasticky production design.
Light on laughs for younger audiences.
Family comedy is saved by Russell Brand.
Even the most undemanding child won't enjoy this sickly confection.
Witty scripting spices up a sugary scenario, giving this fluffy family comedy some adult-pleasing bite. It ain't Shrek, but it ain't dreck either.
The lack of any comparable reality check will make this one an endurance test for most people who aren’t five.
A shoddy excuse for a family film.
It's silly, energetic and mildly amusing.
A joyless hybrid of animation and live action.
It's a combination of the worst movies about trouble in Santa Claus's north pole toy factory and a version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lethally laced with sugar.
Hop's energy is all sugar-highs, yet despite the jelly bean poop the film is largely inoffensive for families.
