I can’t rightly comprehend why HOP needs to spell its title in all caps. I know the whole “Let’s be creative with our typography!” thing isn’t new, but it seems especially strange in the case of HOP. I think it’s because it reminds me of IHOP, which makes me hungry, which just makes me confused. I don’t want to eat your movie, silly little rabbit.
Audiences did eat up this movie this weekend though, with Source Code coming in at a distant but still respectable second. Can’t really ask for a lot more than that, can we?
