Peter Rabbit (PG)
Directed by Will Gluck
★★★
THE GOOD news is that this sweet and charming modern take on Beatrix Potter's classic characters bears no resemblance to the film's appalling trailer.
Having got rid of the cantankerous old Mr McGregor (Sam Neill), Peter Rabbit (James Corden) and his siblings (Margot Robbie, Daisy Ridley and Elizabeth Debicki) and friends face a new enemy in the shape of McGregor's city-dwelling nephew Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson).
