Neophyte writer-director
Rafael Riera helms the rollicking direct-to-video comedy
Bunny Whipped. Traveling in the footsteps of
Blankman and
Hero at Large , Riera brings us yet another masked crusader sans any superhuman powers. By day, he's Bob Whipple (
Esteban Powell), sportscaster extraordinaire stuck in a dead-end existence; by moonlight, he's The Whip (also
Powell), a generally helpless superhero nonetheless determined to bring the men to justice who rubbed out a white rap star. Bob's adventures soon bring him into close proximity with his high school flame, Anne (
Chasing Amy's Joey-Lauren Adams) who tries to recruit him to help her save a bunch of endangered rabbits. He agrees, but - horror of horrors! - must face down the chief suspect in the rap star's murder when that shady character decides to kidnap Anne. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
