Hank and Mike

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

Literally went into this movie with zero clue of what to expect, and now that I've seen it, I'm really happy I did.

It's not the silliness humor that some people may have expected when they saw to guys in bunny suits on the poster, it's a darker humor that is delivered perfectly.

One of my favorite things about this movie is that it actually has it's serious moments, it's drama (as well as it's funny ones, actually a lot of really funny ones), but even during the most serious moments you have to laugh when you remember that these are two Easter bunnies. One, a chain-smoking, self-loathing slacker that drinks too much; the other an idealist riddled with low self-esteem, a bad knee, and an affinity for sweets.

Simply enough, if they weren't wearing bunny suits people would praise the seriousness and remark on the depth of the social commentary. But you still get all that, just with bunny suits. Which you just can't beat.

I liked it in the first 5 minutes. I really liked it by 10 minutes. I loved it by 20 minutes.

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.

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.

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.
