PLOT
The current Easter Bunny (Laurie) is set to retire, but his son E.B. (Brand) wants to be a drummer, so he runs away from home and into the arms of Fred O’Hare (Marsden), who’s a layabout who can’t hold down a job. The two become buddies, and eventually learn to work together, and both learn very important life lessons about responsibility. 

Personal Comments (may contains spoiler, read at your own risk)

E.B. (Russell Brand) and Fred (James Marsden)

Both of them have a good bonding in this movie. James Marsden is consider entertaining in this movie, especially his dialogs with E.B.
Sometimes what really impress me is that, in reality he is acting without the existence of EB.

When Fred sends EB to sleep at the garage

Easter Bunny: What are the newspapers for?

Fred: You know you’re an animal, so..

Easter Bunny: Oh, I understand. I’ll just sleep down here, among my poo and pee, like a pig

Love this part 

EB trying to seduce Sam (Fred's sister)

Sam: Look at this. Look how cute this stuffed bunny is. [Holding E.B.} 

Fred: Oh. 

Sam: [As E.B. touches her hair] Oh, he's so soft And cute. And cuddly, and And warm. 

EB is a talking bunny, it would be weird if a bunny can talk with human so

Fred is afraid of letting others know EB can speak, but when people see EB talking, they didn't care so I think everyone assume EB is a built in talking toy.

But how could David Hasselhoff believe a talking Bunny exist?

Not logic at all.

Carlos (antagonist character)

pretty obvious he is the evil one, at least he is the important role during climax.

Do you think he will take over Easter?

Carlos: Can I at least touch it? 

Little Bird: [Gets hit by the spoon] Ow! 

Carlos: There. You touched it. 

Little Bird: Thank you. 

The Pink Berets 

acting as the special agent/guard for Easter Bunny

They are quite cute, especially the one every time FAIL at doing mission.

Do you think this dancing chicky Phil

looks like me? I mean the hair!

OVERALL
The combination of CGI and Live action is pretty impressive. Actors is able to act naturally.
Although this movie doesn't really suits the adult, but it's quite entertaining for me! Get to laugh for some stupid scenes.
I would really wish a better one for Cars 2 and Rio

And I kicked Jessy's butt Leg.

Somehow on the day itself, I saw 2 agents holding a folder with a kind of symbol and pass it to us.

I don't really understand what is it for. There is also a link attached to it.
