I watched this with my unlimited films cineworld card to kill time before Suckerpunch started, I also saw Source code that day I love cinema. Any way this is basically a christmas formula applied to easter and even a flying easter sleigh that fly's pulled by chicks that delivers candy and chocolate eggs to gardens around the world.

Unless you count "The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town" and "Yogi, the Easter Bear", there isn't a lot for programmers to throw on Disney, HBO Family, or any other 500 other cable channels for Easter, so maybe it isn't as clever as Nanny McPhee, Despicable Me, Gnomeo and Juliet, Toy Story 3, Shrek 4, Megamind, Tangled, etc, and maybe the story had whiiskers when "The Prince and the Pauper" came out, a hundred odd years ago, and maybe the way EB makes jelly beans disgusts decent people everywhere, this film fills an unfilled entertainment need, and it's going to be on cable every year, from here on, until, well, "you know what" happens...

I too saw this using my trusty unlimited card (my choices for the day were The Eagle and Tomorrow When The War Began, naturally we ended up seeing this and Rio!).
Maybe it was because I had such incredibly low expectations for this, maybe because Rio was just awful, or a combination of the two, but I actually found this a reasonably passable waste of 90 mins. Nowhere near as bad as I'd feared or expected, Hop was ok. Nothing more nothing less.
3 Stars.

this movie was good for the kids and there was one part for the older people in the audence when david hasselhoff said " my best freinds a talking car " the kids thourght of disney's lightning mc'queen, but it wasn't!
i really enjoyed watching this movie but why did russell brand have to be in it ! wasn't there any other people that could of played the bunny EB or "erb" as russell later calls the bunny when he comes to tell EB that he's on in 2 minutes, but this movie will become an easter favourite of kids for years to come
