Hank and Mike is a Canadian comedy movie directed by Matthew Kowalchuk and released in 2008. The film is a unique take on the classic buddy-comedy genre, centering around two Easter bunnies, Hank and Mike, who are struggling to keep their jobs in a world where the demand for Easter candy and gifts are declining. The film stars Thomas Michael, Paolo Mancini, and Chris Klein in the titular roles.

Hank (played by Thomas Michael) and Mike (played by Paolo Mancini) are two Easter bunnies who work for the Easter Enterprises Company. Their jobs are to deliver Easter eggs and gifts to children across the city. However, as the Easter season draws near, they soon learn that their company is shutting down due to poor sales. They are given only two weeks to make the necessary sales or face the consequences of losing their jobs.

Hank and Mike are polar opposites; they represent the two sides of the Easter personality spectrum. Hank is sarcastic, lazy, and indifferent, hiding behind a certain level of pessimism regarding the job. In contrast, Mike is a cheerful and enthusiastic bunny who always keeps hope alive and tries his best to maintain the Easter bunny aura. The two characters end up clashing with each other on how to proceed with the sales process, leading to hilarious outcomes.

The duo sets out to make the Easter specials as unique as possible to increase sales. We see them try multiple schemes, some successful, and others disastrous. They go through all sorts of events to increase their sales- ranging from standing outside the office building holding massive signs to hosting contests with cash prizes - each event adding a different comedic angle to the film.

Throughout the film, the two Easter bunnies encounter a wide range of characters, including aggressive rival bunnies and humans. Every time the bunnies find a unique way to earn sales, something throws them off course via obstacles ranging from human negligence or miscommunications to sabotage from the competition.

The movie is a satirical comedy that revolves around absurd situations which serve as hilarious moments throughout the film. Among some of the film's most memorable moments is a scene in which Hank and Mike accidentally crash a child's birthday party, with things eventually escalating from gentle scavenger hunt to utter chaos.

The central theme of the movie is the importance of friendship, as neither Hank nor Mike could have begun to handle their situations alone. The idea behind the bond between the two bunnies is portrayed in a heartfelt way when they share their personal problems and discuss the importance of having each other. The movie ended on a high note, and viewers see that the duo learns their lessons, even if through unconventional means.

To summarize, Hank and Mike are the lovable protagonists of a one-of-a-kind comedy film. The movie is about the struggle to make amends in a dwindling market, and the power of friendship when faced with unexpected obstacles. The movie is an interesting reinterpretation of the traditional buddy-comedy genre, with likeable characters and a unique story. It is a must-watch for anyone looking for a light-hearted comedy that does not take itself seriously.

Hank and Mike is a 2007 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 26 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.8.
