This looked incredibly lame from the previews. I was very surprised at how popular it was. Critics didn’t like it but viewers seemed to think it was okay. Since I had a free movie ticket, I decided to give it a go. To my surprise, it’s actually quite well done. The trailer made it look terrible, with nothing but an animated bunny gimmick cracking wise with lame jokes. There’s some of that in the film, but it’s done in a more realistic way than I expected. For instance, the human is actually quite shocked to find a talking bunny and some of his reactions were even plausible. The plot’s light, and not all that interesting, but I found the pacing of the film good and the atmosphere fun. There are even some decent jokes. No, it’s not a great film by any stretch, but it’s wonderfully harmless and an interesting take on a holiday movie (and in this case that’s an unusual holiday in Easter).
