I'm pretty picky about children's movies. I will see anything Disney or Pixar releases, but I pick and choose what animated films I see from other Studios. Universal Studios impressed me a few years ago with DESPICABLE ME, an animated comedy that made me laugh hard....a lot. So the combination of HOP being from the creators of DESPICABLE ME plus the attraction of having Russell Brand as the voice of the Easter Bunny was enough to tempt me into watching this adorable fun Easter treat. Unemployed slacker Fred (James Marsden) suddenly finds himself uncharacteristically busy after he runs over the Easter Bunny and has to not only nurse the gimpy rabbit back to health but also take over his duties so that the holiday can continue. Burdened with a cranky, cotton-tailed houseguest and a bout of intensive egg-delivery training, Fred finally begins to grow up. With cameos from Chelsea Handler, David Hasselhoff, Katie Cuomo, and additional vocal work from Hugh Laurie and Hank Azaria, HOP isn't as adult friendly as DESPICABLE ME, but it does entertain and has a sweet message.
