Review of Hop

Hop (2011)
1/10
Horrible. Not good for kids or adults.
3 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is NOT Elf, Ice Age, or anything by Pixar, Disney, or anything resembling any other fun family film that's come out in the past 50 years.

Who was this movie made for? Kids? Adults? Teens? The trailer gives you the ONLY funny/cute parts. When you have a movie and Chelsea Handler plays a serious part vs using her natural comedic abilities, you know eets a steenky mess - to use the bad guy (protagonist?) head chick/rabbit thing with a Latino accent. So they are outsourcing labor in movies now.

I brought my 3yr old and he fell asleep within the first 15 minutes from boredom. I let him nap and he woke up about halfway through and still had more fun looking around the theater than watching the screen. I wanted to leave or take a nap myself actually.

Take a twenty-something slacker who doesn't want to move out of his parent's house, a weird sister/brother/boyfriend/girlfriend vibe, a bunny who no one seems to be surprised that can talk except the slacker dude after he spent 10 minutes acting gape-mouthed like he's seeing Jesus, David Hasselhoff (no really, David Hasselhoff) who the slacker says "he's a great actor" but everything's relative here apparently, unfunny live action actors at every turn - I kept waiting for Gary Cole to channel his OfficeSpace character and say "yeah, I'm gonna have to apologize for this movie for the rest of my career", and why do the bunnies have British accents - when they live under the statues Easter Island - ho ho that's hilarious, shake it up, and poop it out as fast as you can.

The only funny part of this movie is when the bunny poops jelly beans. And whoever pooped this movie out should be fired - or forced to watch it over and over until they apologize.
