QUICK TAKE:
Computer-Animated Comedy: Unable to shake his reputation, a mischievous, talking rabbit ends up in a situation where his bad bunny behavior is appreciated.
PLOT:

Peter Rabbit (voice of JAMES CORDEN) is a mischievous and assertive bunny who lives on an English country farm with his sisters, Flopsy (voice of MARGOT ROBBIE), Mopsy (voice of ELIZABETH DEBICKI), and Cottontail (voice of AIMEE HORNE), and their cousin, Benjamin Bunny (voice of COLIN MOODY). Having seemingly called a true with Thomas McGregor (DOMHNALL GLEESON) -- who inherited the farm where the rabbits and other animals live and has just married his artist neighbor Bea (ROSE BYRNE) -- Peter must now contend with his newfound fame following the release of Bea's book about him and the rest of the animals.

That's drawn the interest of slick book publisher Nigel Basil-Jones (DAVID OYELOWO) who wants Bea to make Peter the "bad seed" character in her sequel that he believes should be made as commercial as possible. Fed up with that, Peter takes a walk through the city where he bumps into older rabbit Barnabas (voice of LENNIE JAMES) who claims he knew Peter's father and runs a small gang of street thieves comprised of rat Samuel Whiskers (voice of RUPERT DEGAS) and feline siblings Tom (voice of DAMON HERRIMAN) and Mittens Kitten (voice of HAYLEY ATWELL).

They're planning the food robbery of a lifetime and want Peter's help. With him now leaning into his bad bunny reputation, Peter enlists the help of his family and friends, all while Thomas worries that Nigel is too heavily influencing Bea's artistry.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they liked the first "Peter Rabbit" film they probably will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For some rude humor and action.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
