By DAVID GERMAIN

AP Movie Writer
“Hop” has one of the cutest bunnies you'll ever see and plenty of other eye candy among its computer-generated visuals, yet there's not much bounce to the story behind this interspecies buddy comedy.
| HOP |
 Director: Tim Hill Cast: James Marsden, Russell Brand, Hugh Laurie, Hank Azaria, Gary Cole and Elizabeth Perkins Rating: PG for some mild rude humor Running time: 94 minutes |
Letting bad-boy Russell Brand supply the voice of the Easter bunny sounds like a promising way to add spice to a warm and fuzzy family flick. Too bad the movie winds up about as bland as carrot-flavored jelly beans.
