Yeah I know I've been MIA for a few weeks, but don't worry, I
haven't abandoned this blog (yet), I've just been busy or very disinterested in
the movies that have been released ~shrugs...Sue me...lol. I have been super
busy and did and haven't had a chance to catch up on a number of films I did
want to see. I was happy a friend passed me these tickets for an early showing
for Peter Rabbit, as I knew I would be busy this weekend and it would be a
struggle to try and see. However I was more than pleased than me and my little
movie date (my 5yr old son) were able to catch this early viewing because this
was a movie both of us were excited to see. I love live action animated films,
but it was James Corden cast as the voice of Peter Rabbit that actually sealed the
deal for me. Not to mention 2 of my other favorite actors, Rose Byrne and
Domhnall Gleeson were also cast...wins all around. I and my sidekick enjoyed
the trailer and expected great things from the film ~fingers crossed :).
I really really enjoyed this
movie. There were a few meh parts, but for the most part, the film was filled
with spot on entertainment. There weren't too many dull moments as the
characters, especially the rabbits were in some of the funniest predicaments.
Corden shined as Peter Rabbit and had me laughing out loud throughout. His
sisters were great additions to this funny bunch, with each of them having
their own sparkling personalities. Byrne is an amazing comedic actress, so of
course she shined in this role. She and Gleeson worked magically on-screen
together. Although my kid liked the movie, the humor was a little above his age
group, so his interest waned throughout the film.
I would put this in the
category of a good family film. There is enjoyment to be had for everyone, as
long as the little ones aren't too young. I laughed, I was entertained and for
the most part very satisfied with this movie. I guess it also didn't hurt that
I watched it for free, but I'd also pay for it...B+
