Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway Reviews
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is another win for the family-friendly franchise, capturing the same comedic charm that made the first film such a success.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022
The lighter moments are not enough to save a film that again feels like the most cynical of studio prospects.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 2, 2022
Rarely is a sequel as much or more fun than the original. [Full review in Spanish]

However, this could be the lovely piece of Springtime cinema you pop on every time the flowers bloom for those who are still a kid at heart.
| Original Score: B- | Aug 31, 2021
Cynical sequel - you know, for kids! - doubles down on the nihilistic money-grubbing of the original. Thinks that being clever and meta about its own disenchantment will win us over. It does not.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Jul 30, 2021
All in all, much better than expected.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 27, 2021
A note to parents: Peter Rabbit 2 is absurdist enough to be tolerable. Who knew foxes doing CrossFit would be so funny?
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2021
It's more fun than expected, and it's abundantly clear that Will Gluck is trying to atone for past mistakes, which is something to be commended. Who knows? Maybe the teased third film will be a masterpiece!
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2021
[It's] technical quality is exquisite and skilled. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2021
Between the drab opening (a wedding, ho-hum) and the happily-ever-after-unless-we-make-another finale, there are some inspired moments of human and animal shenanigans.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 9, 2021
Loud, slapstick 'Peter Rabbit 2' is so-so family flick.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 8, 2021
Taken in micro doses, Peter Rabbit 2 has some clever moments but the movie trips over itself in its attempt to satirize what it practices
| Original Score: C | Jul 1, 2021
Still very kid friendly but a little sluggish for adults.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 23, 2021
A charming, witty and big-hearted adventure for the whole family.
| Original Score: 8.45/10 | Jun 22, 2021
Peter Rabbit 2 manages to find some measure of meaning that might surprise one with its depth, and it's a decent message that should affect children and parents in equal measure...
| Jun 18, 2021
This a film wholly without wit, visual or otherwise, in which the boring, unfunny jokes are trickled out slowly and the exciting parts ... are lifelessly marched through.
| Jun 16, 2021
It's the human stars ... who truly shine. Domhnall Gleeson finds fun new ways to fall over. Rose Byrne delivers knowing lines.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 15, 2021
Can Will Gluck recapture this lightning in a bottle with Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway? No. But he sure does try.
| Jun 15, 2021
Unfortunately, ['Peter Rabbit 2'] is nowhere near as grounded [as its predecessor], often steering more toward cartoon antics and less original comedy. However, the continuation still provides wholesome entertainment for the family.
| Original Score: B- | Jun 15, 2021
Snarky, family-friendly fare.
