Thomas Michael is as magnetic and attractive as his work. In Hank and Mike, the concept is hilarious and the delivery is oh so smooth. It's insanely creative to take this kind of spin on Easter, and it's bunnies. The characters are colourful and rich, not to mention vivaciously funny. There are scenes in the film where you literally stand up, look around the room and say " this guy, this Thomas Michael is CRAZY GOOD." This film will go down in history, it will never get old and will ALWAYS make you laugh. A film to watch after every Easter Dinner, once the kids hit the hay of course.I look forward to seeing where Thomas Michael's many talents take him...
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
OK, so I saw all the negative comments about the plot summary for this movie on the message boards and just had to write a little review. This movie was listed on the Cinevegas schedule and I had no intention of going to see it, but there was nothing else going on, so I went with two friends that read the summary and felt the same way I did, "this is gonna suck." Were we totally wrong. The whole theater laughed from start to finish! Hank and Mike are two Easter bunnies that work one day out of the year delivering chocolate Easter eggs to the children on their route because of the "No Child Left Behind" act. Chris Klein's character sees the potential to turn a profit on Easter by laying off some Easter bunnies and selling advertising on the chocolate easter egg wrappers; thus, Hank and Mike get laid off, leaving them with a problem...what other occupation can a Easter bunny do? We then follow Hank and Mike along while they look for a new job and figure out how to get their old one back. Well, my summary doesn't make the movie sound any better, but this is a tongue in cheek comedy with some really racy humor. Hank played by Thomas Michael has so many great one-liners, me and my friends are still laughing about some of them. I believe he pretty much carried the movie as the horny, beer drinking, chain smoking Easter bunny. Chris Klein was OK in this movie, he had one great part where he sings in a lounge a really unromantic love song, I laughed so hard, I cried.If you like comedies and get the chance to see this movie, go see it, or at least rent it if you see it at the video store because it is worth it, it's hilarious. You should take my word, because I never write movie reviews on here.
