A movie of contrived consequences swirled around race relations, the unfairness of deportation, the severance of the single parent-child unit, and the still burning angst of a old, failed wanna-be terrorist / freedom-fighter. The music strives for the whimsical but comes off grating whenever it is played and the ending is smartly delivered but it also comes off as falsely as the fabricated “there is still hope for us all” ending. Technically the film hits all of the marks and the ensemble acting is very good but Hop is manufactured and tired.
