'Hop' is the story of E.B. (Russell Brand) who desperately wants to see more of the world and experience more of life than what his "destiny" as the Easter Bunny will allow. In the process of trying to find himself, he meets Fred O'Hare (James Marsden) who is also searching for something missing in his life. O'Hare cant seem to find a job he can stick with but his relationship with E.B. will soon have an egg-ceptional effect on his career choices! While E.B. must prove to his dad (Hugh Laurie) that he can be the Easter Bunny and something else as well, O'Hare must do some proving also - to his own father Henry O'Hare (Gary Cole) who finds his lack of a real job or direction to be immature and tries tough love as a last ditch effort.
