This is a bizarre little film about Harold staying at his aunt and uncle's house to watch their "baby"--an adorable rabbit. In a rather over-played scene, the uncle and aunt are telling him 1001 different things he needs to know--such as how much TV to let the bunny watch, its strange diet, etc.. And, in a very prescient moment, they warn him not to feed the rabbit too much. However, what Harold doesn't know is that the bunny is no ordinary bunny! Not only does it have a tongue like a frog but it has an appetite that just won't quit.
Soon after the couple leave for their trip, and old school mate (Roger) shows up--sort of Cat in the Hat style. In other words, he won't listen to anything Harold says, he won't take a hint and he starts to make a huge mess out of the house--even throwing a party without consulting poor Harold. How this and the bunny all come together in the end is something you'll need to see for yourself--I certainly don't want to spoil it.
The film gets very high marks for its sense of humor and concept. It's worth a look.
Now, where can I get a rabbit like that?! I could use it the next time my mother-in-law comes for a visit.
