Time Out
It’s certainly a new spin, but those who make the leap will do so vigorously. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Yes, the two-minute trailers were an atrocious affront. But it turns out the other 91 minutes include thoughtful characters and some clever humor in between the pratfalls. - 70
Village Voice
While the film does insist on its own irreverence a bit too much at the outset...it offers plenty of lively fun once it settles down, and wisely keeps the pandering to a minimum. - 63
Slant Magazine
Peter Rabbit plays like a country cousin to Paul King's Paddington films, similarly balancing slapstick, absurdism, and a touch of gross-out humor, though without King's transcendently oddball sensibility. - 60
The Guardian
This kids’ animation is altogether lively and funny with just enough soul, even if it comes at the expense of Potter’s sensitivity and delicacy. - 58
The A.V. Club
For a Brit-inflected talking-animal picture in the wake of the "Paddington" series, it’s not good enough. - 55
IGN
The relentlessly slapstick Peter Rabbit may please the kids, but the film never quite realizes its full potential. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
While Potter devotees will no doubt be scandalized by the edgier bad-boy ‘tude now possessed by Mr. McGregor’s mischievous cotton-tailed nemesis, the greater offense committed is the awfully flimsy plotting that fails to take full advantage of terrific production values and the work of an engaging cast led by the affably energetic James Corden.
