Hop Review

HOP is a fun movie about candy, chicks and rock n roll. He was destined to be the Easter Bunny, but all he wanted to do was rock! When teenage E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream to become a rockstar drummer, he meets Fred , an out-of-work slacker with his own lofty goals. Together the two encounter a series of hilarious mishaps and misadventures and in the end help each other recognize the importance of family.

Our family received a Hop Movie Prize Pack to review just in time for our daughter’s birthday slumber party! This amazing prize pack included a DVD/BLuRay Hop Movie Combo, a pack of party plates, a pack of cups, 2 packs of napkins, a package of various colored balloons, a handheld air pump, 2 streamers, 2 popcorn buckets and popcorn, a package of candy-filled eggs, 2 books based on the movie Hop and a $100 VISA gift card to purchase other party supplies.

We used the VISA card to purchase additional items for the girls to enjoy at the party including products to make their own personal pizzas, supplies to make a “Cupcake Station” for the girls to enjoy and craft supplies. We decorated the kitchen, living room and the girls bedroom with the balloons and streamers and the girls loved the party atmosphere. The girls enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and hiding and finding the candy-filled eggs for over an hour. However, the candy inside the eggs disappeared into their mouths after the first round of hiding! After dark, the girls climbed into their sleeping bags and settled down to watch the movie Hop. I popped the 2 bags of popcorn for them to enjoy and they ate popcorn as they watched the move. They all loved this cute, kid-friendly movie. In fact, they laughed hysterically at the part where Hop poops jellybeans! Most of the girls had never seen the movie and they actually watched it twice and commented on the “new” things they saw when they watched it the second time that they had missed the first time. They also loved all the “extras” that were part of the DVD/Blu-Ray combo disc. This movie is certainly one your kids will enjoy and you will hear audible laughter from them while they watch it.

The only part of the prize pack that was a little too young for my daughter and her friends to enjoy was the 2 children’s books based on the movie “Hop”. However, they were perfect for our 7 year old son to enjoy. He loved reading them after he watched the movie and because the words are fairly easy, he is even able to read some of it himself. They have very colorful illustrations and short passages so the books easily hold the attention span of children.

Thanks to the Hop Movie and this great prize pack, our daughter and her friends were able to have a very special night of fun as they “hopped” into birthday celebration fun!
