Think all those holiday mascots are geeked about their job? Not so. A young bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) is about to be crowned the new Easter Bunny, but he’s not so sure he wants the job. He’s content to just hang out, play his drums, and kick back with some tunes. So he heads off to Hollywood to find fame and fortune and, hopefully, land a gig playing in a band. But those plans go awry when he’s hit by a car driven by Fred (James Marsden), who agrees to take him in. Blending live action with computer animation, this movie looks really cute, and also stars Kaley Cuoco, David Hasselhoff, and Chelsea Handler. It’s directed by Tim Hill, who also helmed 2007’s ‘Alvin and the ‘Chipmunks.’ Look for bits of crude humor here and there, like the bunny pooping jelly beans and rebelling at having to sleep among his poo.
