Peter Rabbit is a kids movie that ticks all the boxes and nails every one of them. However, that strength also turns out to be its biggest weakness.
Directed by Will Gluck, who has previously helmed the weak Annie reboot, the half-decent Friends With Benefits and the excellent Easy A, is behind this family-friendly adaptation of Beatrix Potter's classic tale that goes for a new take on a beloved literary character. A mixture of animation and live-action, Peter Rabbit is a peppy romp that’s bright and breezy and crammed with sass and slapstick as well as tales of rivalry and blossoming romance. That sounds perfect for a family movie, so, where’s the problem?
James Corden voices the titular rebellious rabbit trying to sneak into the vegetable garden of an old farmer, Sam Neill’s Mr. McGregor. Remaining non-specific to avoid a spoiler, but something happens which brings Domhnall Gleeson’s young Thomas McGregor into the picture. Peter’s feud with the McGregor family reaches new heights as he and Thomas compete for the affections of a kind animal lover who lives next door, Rose Byrne’s Bea. If Byrne’s character’s name is an homage to Beatrix Potter, it’ll be interesting to see how that goes down with audiences some of whom will love this interpretation and some of whom will find it almost blasphemous as already known from reactions to the film’s trailer.
