Critics Consensus

Peter Rabbit updates Beatrix Potter's classic characters with colorfully agreeable results that should entertain younger viewers while admittedly risking the wrath of purists.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

More than anything, Gluck seems bored with the material, and worried that his audience will be too. Unfortunately, making the action more frenetic only adds to the sense of desperation.

Rated: 2/5

The blend of animation and live action feels natural and even at its most ridiculous points, the film is still irresistibly likeable. It may not look like much at first but Peter Rabbit is an unexpected pleasure.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

Gleeson and his committed stunt doubles fall down stairs impressively and often. The voice cast for the animated animals (Robbie, Ridley et al) is absurdly starry and game. Expect many, many sequels to this solid family comedy.

Rated: 3/5

Will Gluck allows himself to go further beyond the story of the orphan rabbit to tell a story of love, perseverance, teamwork, understanding, and, mainly, love for one another. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

A loud and abrasive film populated by cute creatures and zippy, restless humor.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Frenzy

Considering that the initial trailer made Peter Rabbit look like one of the greatest disasters since the sinking of the Titanic, it's somewhat shocking to note that the end result isn't half bad.

Rated: 2.5/4

This film isnt as bad as youd think. The protagonist is called mr mcgregor, and the plot is that he has to defend his house from the evil villain, a rabbit called peter. I reccomend.

Plenty of people apparently dislike this movie— but this is such a fun and easily likable movie. The kids love it. My wife and I like it and we watch it over and over and laugh every time. The relation between Peter and McGregor who both clearly are suffering from their own narcissism is great to watch. The journey into being human for McGregor is great. The guy is a total self absorbed schmuck and he falls for the loving and quirky neighbor. There is of course no reason for these two to fall in love, but why not? I guess there was a big issue folks had over the food allergy thing… folks in my family, including myself have food allergies. Just please get over yourself. Quit freaking out over everything and demanding everyone apologize for comedy. For Peter’s sake! Yeah so this movie is nothing like the books, but… what were the books like? As a huge Peter Rabbit fan I will tell you that the books aren’t really “like” anything as they are just simple children’s stories. Seriously chill out. It’s a fun family movie that everyone except pretentious snobs will love! Enjoy.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
