'Peter Rabbit' review: Beatrix Potter's bunny hops down path of violent mayhem

2615d ago

Will Gluck’s Peter Rabbit is mercifully light on the soppy sentimentality that often weighs down most kiddie flicks.

Thew new Beatrix Potter adaptation tries to follow in the footsteps of the blockbuster Paddington movies, and largely manages to pull it off

2615d ago

Its story line is clean; the live-action actors, particularly Rose Byrne (as Bea, an artist who paints portraits of the bunnies), bring their onscreen-appeal A game; and the computer-generated animals are charming, albeit lacking in the particular gentle winsomeness of Potter’s originals.

The relentlessly slapstick Peter Rabbit may please the kids, but the film never quite realizes its full potential.

Beatrix Potter classic gets a modern makeover, to a fault

James Corden gives voice to the mischievous but beloved bunny in this live-action/computer-animated adventure.

But easy chuckles are no substitute for genuine charm. I’m just glad that Corden didn’t insist on doing rabbit burrow karaoke.

The adaptation of the children’s classic has its charms, but innocence isn’t one of them.

Beatrix Potter purists will be aghast at some points, but if Sony’s modernization of her wonderfully written and delightfully illustrated bedtime stories results in even a handful of children discovering kidhood’s other wascally wabbit, then this purist is satisfied.

Annoyingly “hip” and clamoring to please, this shrill kid movie lacks charm and fun

2615d ago

Beatrix Potter fans will be torn between wanting to hug a photo-real Peter Rabbit and wanting to scream at what Hollywood has done with him.
