50Check your driver's license - if you have one, you're probably too old to get the most out of it. If not, you may find your satisfaction a little harder - though not impossible - to come by.
-
25It's "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with only one chipmunk, and (if possible) even less fun.
-
63A slick and sweet film all on its own, a harmless bit of fun that fills the Easter-movie void.
-
38It's supposed to be sweet, but Hop is a headache waiting to happen.
-
38Hop gives us . . . a bunny who poops jelly beans. That idea doesn't fill you with seasonal joy? Neither will the rest of the movie.
-
40As fake and forgettable as a marshmallow Peep, Hop goes down easy enough.
-
70Hop delivers plenty of wit, verve and surreal mayhem to entice even the post-adolescent crowd into this jolly (and strangely Christmas-like) Easter egg hunt.
-
Mar 31, 201170Why rock, rather than hip-hop, is anybunny's guess, though either way, the basic overnight-sensation pop-star fantasy will surely appeal to a demographic weaned on "American Idol."
-
63In this Willy Wonka-like animated world where multihued candies move about on assembly lines, the constant introduction to Rube Goldberg-style devices and slapstick action grows increasingly tiresome.
-
25Hop is harmless, which is the worst best thing to be said for any movie. It never decides whether to be a kiddie flick or a grownup lark and winds up as neither. As Roger might say: "Puh-puh-puh-puhleeze, don't waste your time."
-
50The most notable thing about Hop is its technical perfection. It puts live action and animation into the same frame so seamlessly that the filmmakers might easily not get credit for it.
-
Mar 31, 201150A piece of fluff as artificially sweetened as a fuchsia Peep, rises above these low expectations - but only barely.
-
75The movie's appeal is largely the result of the perfectly cast James Marsden as Fred, a lovable slacker who accidentally injures a floppy-eared rabbit who calls himself E.B. (perfectly voiced by Russell Brand).
-
50Hop is innocuous, though occasionally annoying and also, less expectedly, occasionally funny. Both types of occasions are mostly provided by Russell Brand, who specializes in collapsing the distinction between the exasperatingly silly and the charmingly naughty.
-
50Its CGI renderings are no better or worse than last month's or next month's animation family outing. Its vocal talent - led by Russell Brand and Hugh Laurie - is suitably star-powered. The only thing missing is any real wonder, imagination or comic verve.
-
40Some films are saccharine, but Hop is pure sugar.
-
33Candy-coated or otherwise, crap's still crap.
-
25Hop may have taken years to design and animate, but it feels as if minutes were required to compose it.
-
30There's nothing in it to inspire excitement or even a mild glimmer of delight; it's almost offensive in its dullness.
-
70Fun for every member of the family, despite marketing that suggests it may be intended for only the youngest of the bunch.
-
38The slapstick is mild-mannered, there's no romance, not a hint of emotion.
-
40The various plot threads-E.B. is pursued by a trio of ass-kickingly cute long-eared operatives; a disgruntled worker chick (voiced in emphatic Telemundo tones by Hank Azaria) orchestrates a coup d'état-mostly get lost amid all the allusions. Even Hugh Hefner pops up because, you know, Playboy Bunnies.
-
70Despite its scattered frenzy, Hop-thanks to its fondness for smushing together seemingly incongruous elements and Marsden's goofy, bug-eyed mugging-is just demented enough to deliver a fleeting sugar rush.
