Watch and Download Hop

Hop is a film both contextually and inherently about family, notably the aspirations fathers — both human and bunny — have for their sons. The kind of film we as adults go to see mostly because we know the younger bunnies in our families want to see them.

Sometimes, the most we can hope for in cases like this is to find a shred of inspired filmmaking in the basket. There isn’t a whole lot to love about Hop but, on the other hand, there isn’t much to dislike. Hop will undoubtedly make your children giggle and awe given its crisp, cutesy animation and its main character, E.B., the brazen jellybean-excreting bunny many of us are now familiar with from the all-out Hop advertising blitz this past month.


Hop’s high point is undoubtedly the cheeky vocal performance given by Russell Brand who plays teenage bunny E.B. who is the heir apparent to the throne of Easter Bunny that belongs to his father, who is voiced by television's misanthropic Dr. Gregory House, Hugh Laurie.

E.B. however has other plans; the rigors and the pressures of being the Easter Bunny don’t give E.B. the time to pursue his true ambition, to become a successful drummer. E.B in turn escapes to Hollywood and sniffs, stumbles, and scurries about town until he finds himself at Hugh Hefner’s front gates because he heard that Hefner takes in bunnies. Adults, this scene is for you, its ok to laugh. After being rejected by Hefner, E.B. wanders until the car of Fred O’Hare hits him. O’Hare has his own father who is also concerned about his son’s seemingly aimless direction. O’Hare is played by actor James Marsden who turns in a real humdrum performance. Thankfully, E.B. is here to push him along.


A frenetic frenzy ensues, some of which isn’t entirely a bore, including a rendition of the song “I Want Candy,” and a bizarre — albeit curious — David Hasselhoff cameo. Hop is innocuous and well intentioned enough and that’s why I refuse to completely clobber it and accept it for exactly what it is, a movie for children that I truly believe will be enjoyed by most of them. However at its core like many Easter bunnies I find Hop for the most part, to be hollow.


                                                                                                           


Russell Brand the very funny English comic has claimed the top two spots at the North American box office as the voice in the live-action/animated family film HOP, which led the field for a second weekend, and as the star of the ARTHUR remake, which opened poorly at No. 2, according to studio estimates issued on Sunday.HOP earned $21.7 million during the three days beginning Friday, taking its 10-day total to $68.2 million.I recently went to see HOP with the family on opening night and it was very a cute movie for kids along with telling a great story about Father & Son.


The Hollywood Reporter estimates that Arthur will take in at least $15 to $17 million. The movie, which also features Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner, is about a billionaire (Brand) who needs to marry a wealthy woman (Garner) or face losing his inheritance.

This weekend sees the release of a number of films that are sure to bring in a wide variety of audiences to the theaters. The action thriller Hanna stars Saoirse Ronan as the titular character, and Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana in supporting roles. The film will most likely bring in strong numbers, as it is the only action movie being released this weekend. Hanna is about an ex-CIA agent (Bana) who has trained his young daughter (Ronan) to be an assassin.

Your Highness, starring Natalie Portman, Danny McBride, and James Franco, is being released on Friday. It's a raunchy R-rated comedy, and Entertainment Weekly says that it will most likely be a hit in the 18-25 age demographic.

Experts say that it will be a battle between the two Brand films, Hop and Arthur, for the top box office spot.
