What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Sandy Cohen  There's enough entertainment for parents here, and plenty of good-natured humour for kids. Stay past the credits for an extra dose of laughs. | 10 |  |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Here, Peter behaves like a jerk and while he has a few softer moments -- mainly recalling his late parents who appear in brief watercolor type animations straight from Potter’s earlier works -- and finally realizes the error of his ways and sets out to make things right, he’s not that likable and often comes off as annoying rather than cute, charming or funny. Which also holds true for most of the film that occasionally gets things right, but otherwise could leave some viewers in a worse mood upon leaving the theater than when they arrived. | 8 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Peter Rabbit updates Beatrix Potter’s classic characters with colorfully agreeable results that should entertain younger viewers while admittedly risking the wrath of purists. | 12 | |
