5/10
not as funny as it should be

Warning: Spoilers
if you're going to make a movie about real life easter bunnies in a real life setting, you have to make it deadpan and very realistic or surreal and edgy, this doesn't fit into either and as a result you don't know whether to laugh or empathise with the bunnies. I watched this half-cut so I may have missed some gags and I reckon I could like this more second time around but in any case, the writers/actors don't have the comedic presence to make this a hoot and the two "stars" mantegna and Klein are miscast, they should have swapped roles at least and Klein is very uncovincing as the evil, ruthless, corporate slime. There very some funny moments in this like when the bunnies tried to do other jobs but even then, the supporting,oddball characters did little to liven this up. The special features/making of this are about as bloated and long winded as you can get, its heartening to see how much effort and how many years of planning went into this lads but if this is the very best you can do, then erm, don't give up the day jobs, sorry.
