Hank and Mike

I'd say this movie was worth watching thanks to the humor and whole concept of it all. I just like how confused at first I was what with guys in bunny costumes, but when I realized they WERE the easter bunnies it put a whole different perspective on the way this film was approached. It was meant to be a comedy. I thought the guys did a great job with their roles and in the suits they were wearing. Me & my roommate especially love the scene when the self-centered business guy is singing at the bar. Its great! Though, that scene does not actually add much to the story/plot it is incredibly entertaining. There may be some holes in the overall story including the whole easter bunny middle aged men scenario that isn't ever explained. I think it adds character to the flick, leaves room for interpretation & conversation. As a whole I like this movie a lot, and would definitely recommend anyone who likes kinda slow but comedic dialogue. I enjoyed it, hope you do too.

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.

It's too bad they felt a need to make this an R rated movie. Even though it was a little dark, and it was full of great intellectual humor, there was enough situational humor that I think it could have been a mainstream holiday hit. It's not for little kids, obviously, but I have older nieces and nephews (even as young as 10) who would have thought this movie was hysterical. I hate the fact that I can't recommend it to my sister and other people with kids because the language and sexual activity is so foul. I loved it.

For those people who thought it wasn't funny - I'm thinking you didn't get it.

With its unusual premise of a company that owns all American holidays and hires seasonal employees to be Easter bunnies who have the difficult job of delivering chocolate eggs to kids in the middle of the night, this should have been a cute comedy but alas, it fell flat.

My sister and I believed the DVD blurbs about it being a clever satire of corporate America and tried to watch it. The vulgarity and the repetitive jokes made that too much of a chore. There is nothing funny about two chain smoking, junk food eating, depressed people who are out of work. It should have come as no surprise to either Mike or Hank, since they were abusive to their fellow employees and sexually harassed every woman in the office. Characters can be sympathetic losers if they are lovable losers (as Bobcat Goldthwait was in HOT TO TROT). We could stand about a half hour of HANK AND MIKE and no more. I was sorry I rented it and still am!

Terrific dark comedy. The beauty of "Hank and Mike" is that the one joke premise has been nicely expanded into a feature. In addition to the black comedy, there is drama, and even a little romance. The idea of sponsored suicides, which is hysterically dark to begin with, is nicely melded into the plot. Like "Office Space" and "Bad Santa", the two movies I would say are closest to "Hank and Mike" , it is very re-watchable. There are some serious laugh out loud moments, nudity, gross out humor, and lots more. I would definitely think that "Hank and Mike" has an excellent possibility of achieving cult status. Highly recommended of it's type. - MERK
