After 13 days of 12 hour+ shifts we needed something mindless. This definitely ticked the box! It was charming, great moral at the end and kept us engaged despite exhaustion. The first one had us both laughing out loud. Sadly this was only smile worthy and the use of CGI does help with the comedy action but it also takes something away from it. There were some obvious mistakes that felt like a bad influence on children - picking up the rabbits by their ears, not giving them water in the cage etc. Easy things to have not done so they were odd choices, or perhaps a lack of attention to detail. As former rabbit owners, we felt this was irresponsible, so if watching this with a child, I'd suggest some guidance! Also, children are easily influenced, and showing them that rabbits can be thrown in the air, might not have been a wise choice! However, there were plenty adult jokes and whilst we won't rush out to buy it, we'd watch it again with the nieces and nephews.

The movie isn't memorable or perfect by any standards but it's a fun movie and I didn't find myself getting bored. I would recommend it as a fun family movie.

This was fun but not great. If you have kids give it a watch with them. Rose Byrne is in it and fantastic. Didn't see peter rabit 1 but don't think you need to before seeing this one.
