Holly on Hollywood
“Peter Rabbit”
by Holly McClure
Peter Rabbit begins with the demise of cranky Mr. McGregor which causes Peter (James Corden) and his friends and family to celebrate, by pillaging the garden and throwing a house party. But their celebration is cut short when McGregor’s uptight nephew Tom (Domhnall Gleeson) arrives to fix up the place and sell it. He has no interest in the lovely rural setting, or dealing with Peter and his crew in the garden. But things change when Tom meets Bea (Rose Byrne), a lovely woman who lives across the way and serves as a sort of adoptive mother to Peter and his sisters, Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki), and Cottontail (Daisy Ridley). The rabbits hatch a plan to get rid of the pesky Tom and keep Bea all for themselves.
The PG family friendly comedy has scenes where Peter is pitched across rooms by an electric fence, gets a rake in the face and more antics. Tom has ambition and a deep desire to have things his way, but falls for the beautiful animal loving Bea. The humans would almost steal the show if it weren’t for Corden and his adorable Peter. I love the photo-real animation that even Beatrice Potter would admire. And there’s a sweet coming-of-age adventure as he makes a daring journey into London for love! Kids will laugh at the antics and jokes, grownups will enjoy the human story. Peter Rabbit is an entertaining and endearing tale that’s witty, charming and fun to watch. It could easily become a favorite for your little ones!
