While the film does insist on its own irreverence a bit too much at the outset...it offers plenty of lively fun once it settles down, and wisely keeps the pandering to a minimum.
This is a BRILLIANT film, very sweet and heartfelt. Not sure why there has been so many bad reviews and a lot of self-righteous comments--but they need to check their politics at the door, and for goodness sake--just have fun, people. Can't we just enjoy it? Why does it have to be so complicated? I can think of a million other things that are much worse--than this Peter Rabbit film, which by the way, there is nothing wrong with Peter Rabbit 3.0. Go see it. You're going to love it, as much as I would've felt the original author would have too, as this is based on her tale for kids, but it is technically a sequel--as you will understand when you see it. First off, they are rabbits, and rabbits are mischievous by nature, when they are bored or there is food at stake. They are also a bit affectionately demanding and territorial as they felt with Bea. Within the context of the film, rabbits don't understand what the implications of allergic reactions could be for humans--they are, yes, rabbits. The humor is just hilarious, and it works well coming from farm animals. This is CGI/A vs. real live humans. It kept me engaged throughout. I saw this one with my daughter and we both laughed so much and so hard -- isn't this what it is all about? a positive experience? One that brings you closer with those you are with? I cried, I laughed, I cried so hard I laughed, and laughed so hard I cried -- and this is how I rate/gauge film I watch -- by how it moves me and the positivity it inspires in me; it felt good to be reminded that I was still human. I just loved, loved, loved this film. I recommend it. This one will definitely make it into my collection once it is released in media format -- and not many make it in. The soundtrack is super amazing too--I can't stress that enough. They hit it on the head with this one. A TRUE STORY OF HUMBLENESS AND REDEMPTION. Your heart will melt into a big puddle--hands down. No one is paying me to write this--I give it 10 Gold stars. I want to see Peter win next year at the Oscars. A TOTAL GEM.
We found this movie to be your topical slapstick comedy. Yes this film was designed for little kids but we found it so funny. It was more on the lines of pranks from animals who are fighting to survive in this world. In other words a very funny film that keeps you smiling. Like patch adams would say that laughter is the best medicine.
Peter Rabbit plays like a country cousin to Paul King's Paddington films, similarly balancing slapstick, absurdism, and a touch of gross-out humor, though without King's transcendently oddball sensibility.
Peter Rabbit isn’t without its odd delights, and while it won’t serve as the definitive version of Potter’s adoring, timeless creation, Gluck’s film may find a way to burrow into your heart.
Clearly there is a severe case of “Paddington” envy here and a hunger for yet another animated franchise. But easy chuckles are no substitute for genuine charm.
Gleeson and Byrne actually make for an appealing double act, and their scenes together are fun enough to make you wish that Gluck had ditched the digital animals and made an all-human countryside screwball instead.
The movie...resembles a sloppily tended garden plot where crude sight gags and violent set-pieces flourish like weeds, but anything resembling actual humor or delight refuses to take root.
"Peter Rabbit" was a fun and good movie, where we thought it would be another disaster of the real-life family movies combined with CGI, where Paddington is a huge exception, and now it's Peter Rabbit, nobody knew this nice rabbit until today, the animations were good, the interpretations were fun, the story is also fun although was slow and with a rhythm regular, but it has been worth the effort to have a very good adaptation.
I was honestly pleasantly surprised by Peter Rabbit! While there are a few problems with the plot and some tired children's film elements, I honestly really enjoyed the film and had a lot of fun watching it. Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson are both really charming and have great chemistry. Even James Corden does quite well in the titular role. All of the voice actors playing the rabbits were spectacular. While I wanted to give this movie I 7, I feel it's honestly a 6.9. There are a few problems holding it back from that score. Some of the score choices in the soundtrack are bizarre, as are some of the sight gags, and the prologue of the film is a real chore to watch, although the hand drawn animation sequence was quite lovely. All in all, Peter Rabbit is a solid choice of a film to take your kids to see!
This film had gags that (mostly) were not funny. The story was lacking and the messages the movie conveyed were uninspiring. Peter Rabbit was just a bad movie. Period.
