alex_7140 I tried to watch this on TV today. Based on some user comments, I was expecting to laugh. Big mistake. I watched the first 20 minutes of this movie without even a smile.. nothing is funny in it. You see the 2 guys in bunny suits on the movie cover? Well, they never take those suits off. Being an Easter bunny it's supposed to be their job, but the movie makes them some sort of human-in-pink-bunny-suit hybrid. So, how are the jokes with 2 bunny-guys? They shower in their suits, the use deodorant on top of the suits, they have a special bunny-room at work, and they seem to have sexual relationship with normal (non-bunny) women. I don't know how could anyone find this funny.I'll go spoil some more 'jokes'. The company they work for advertises 'sponsored suicide'. One kid doesn't get her Easter candy, and this is all over the news - swap channels on TV, it's all about how the kid didn't get her sweets. Oh how funny. NOT! Obviously, the 2 stars of this movie missed the kid's house. And they get fired. Oh my God they fired some Easter bunnies. This was also supposed to be funny. Soon after this scene I remembered I was supposed to watch a 'comedy' and have some laughs. So I turned off the TV. This movie wasn't worth the 30 minutes I wasted on it. The reason I decided to write a review (I rarely do this): I was tricked in watching this movie by user comments in IMDb and it's grade of 5.8. I thought, a comedy with 5.8 can't be that bad. So I'm here to rate this movie what it's worth.
intelearts Hank and Mike is a pretty smart offering - off-beat, but on message, this is comedy with a heart as black as 100% pure cocoa: a sweetened center tempered with bitterness.Cynical, surreal, and surprisingly insightful if you enjoyed Office Space you should enjoy this - it's kind of a mix of Bad Santa and Office Space with more that a small touch of the Odd Couple.The alternative reality stuff was saved from being Elf-like by the booze, cigarettes, and foul-language; bless'em. There are only so many jokes about Easter bunnies that work, so they're avoided in the main, though the ones used are good too.The humor is tight and a remarkably good satire emerges. It fails to be a total success, but as a quirky comedy with a gooey satirical center it flies.An Easter Egg of a movie: didn't expect much but we laughed a lot.Recommended.
delta_vega This looked like it had laugh potential along with the promise of some knowing social commentary to add to the mix. In fact, the premise (not to mention the poster art of grown men in bunny suits) was clever and wacky enough that I thought it might turn out to be a slyly funny, slightly raunchy, at time hilarious movie. However, I found it to be just the opposite. The actors do a credible enough job, and the film clearly had a micro-budget. There were points early in the story where I expected the movie to break out and really hit its potential, but either the writer or director (or both) missed these opportunities. All in all, it turned out to be genuine disappointment and unfunny waste of time and money.
hexrei I liked this comedy a lot more than I expected to when I got my hands on the screener. A film about two easter bunnies getting fired could go wrong in a lot of ways. But I found myself laughing out loud even though I was watching by myself which is rare.There's some humor to be had in just watching guys in grubby easter bunny suits smoke, drink and screw their way through the film, but they also got a hold of Chris Klein for the role of Hubris the executive. He has perfect delivery and look for this market-gibberish-spewing near-con man, and his drunken karaoke performance of some The Burning Hells song I can't remember had me rolling.Thomas Michael comes across very well as the sarcastic substance-abusing womanizer and Paolo Mancini serves very well in his role as the increasingly fed-up straight man who can only take so much before the inevitable explosion.Mantegna was strangely in the background considering he is probably the most accomplished actor in the film, but I guess there wasn't much of a role for him really.The bunny suits make for a lot of sight gags, especially the roid-raging bodybuilder who seems oddly at home in pink fur, and the scenes of them doing basic hygiene in costume.Overall I thought it was one of the funnier comedies of the year but perhaps I just like bunny suits and hard living.
