The Christmas Bunny Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
itisme-10743 So many huge mistakes in this from the start. First the bunny that was shot was wearing a ribbon on it's neck, the dad says it probably belongs to someone in the area...duh. Next scene no ribbon on the bunny! Then when the boys put the bunny in the buggy....the parents were angry about her biting the kid and no one even picked up the bunny! Then...the girl leaves tracks in the snow....the dad finds them but calls rescue and a dog to search! Hummm follow the snow tracks...it's not rocket science people! I'm not working...shoot I'll take a job and actually not let ignorant stuff get thru to the release! Uuuuggggghhhhh
mideleon I usually hate movies like this, but I actually enjoyed this one. Probably because it was a little darker than I expected. Not as "uplifting" as a Hallmark movie, but not as melodramatic as standard Lifetime fare. The cinematography has a nice indie feel to it rather than a sterile TV movie look. I thought the gloomy Michigan winter nicely framed the uncertain financial prospects of the dad and also the isolation of the girl. Though I wish the relationship between the rabbit lady and the girl had been developed a lot more since they were both so emotionally shutdown. Nevertheless, Florence Henderson did a great job in a role that played against her usual chirpy persona. I actually didn't recognize her until I saw the credits.
mikedonn71 I really liked everything about this movie. Its lack of special effects and big budget make the characters more intimate. As other reviewers have said the little girl is a fine actress.The rating is PG, as it contains some sad plot elements (a foster child missing her blood mother, animals being injured by BB guns, etc.) that a very small child would possibly find upsetting. The rabbit, Rumple, is adorable. Perhaps I have a bias, as I have a beautiful lop myself (Smokey). The rabbit's timidity made him seem more important to the little girl, who is also shy and afraid of her new, adopted family.The family are nice, however. The mother's Christian faith isn't mocked or made fun of by the filmmakers either, which is refreshing. In a big budget, Hollywood production she'd be a lovable buffoon at best or a psychotic lunatic at worst for worshiping Christ.It seems quite the opposite of a "dumb, made-for-TV movie" as another review put it. Most children would be delighted with the film for all of its charms. The rabbit lady is the most interesting adult in the film, but you should watch the film to find out why. As a middle aged adult male, I thought the film was nice.
MattyGibbs This is a charming family film about a recently fostered young girl who has trouble communicating until she finds an injured rabbit.The film explores the problem of loneliness through the eyes of both the young girl and an old lady who cares for injured animals. The film steers clear of the usual schmaltz served up in most Christmas movies and is realistic in it's portrayal of how children actually behave.The script and performances of the cast are far above most made for TV movies. What struck me most was the cinematography which was superb. It seemed like a much higher budget film.It's not a film that will change your life but it is more than worth a watch with the family in the run up to Christmas.
