Hop was a fun movie. No matter how you try to rationalize it away, it was hard not to smile.
At its core, this film was about the tried and true 'finding one's place in life' theme, but played in a decidedly tongue-in-cheek manner. But then, any movie about a boy unable to nail down a job until he becomes the Easter Bunny, and the Easter Bunny himself becoming a musician is bound to be so. Very little deal is made of the many talking rabbits, with exception of the human protagonist. This gives it a somewhat surreal sense of humor that is the basis for a number of jokes.
While it's certainly not new or revolutionary, it's a fun, enjoyable family film that manages to appeal to a wide demographic. The jokes range from crude but funny, to surprisingly clever or profound, and the characters are endearing through their flaws.
If you're not sick of talking animal films, give this one a look.
Also, the Pink Berets' theme was catchy as all hell.
