Peter Rabbit (2018)
7/10
Not your Grandma's Peter Rabbit
11 February 2018
If you've seen the trailers, then you know what you're getting into. For those who are going to watch this due to nostalgia, this isn't based on the Beatrix Potter books. They borrow the names of the animals and Bea herself (and the love interest isn't even named after her real life husband). This movie is a rough and tumble comedy more akin to the 3 Stooges than anything resembling a heart-warming child's movie. If anything, I would rate this more of a PG-13 vs PG since I wouldn't bring any small child to watch this due to promotion of misbehavior, theft, rudeness, bullying, and destruction of property.

As an adult, I enjoyed it for what it was. The animation was very seamless and well done. The love story was bit over the top, but fine for a romantic comedy. And I did laugh at various points in the movie.
