“Peter Rabbit,” the classic book series released as a movie in mid-February, includes a very “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”-esque humor along with many references to the books every child read growing up. This is definitely something teenagers and children alike will want to check out this Easter weekend.

The plot of the movie is surprisingly interesting and just adorable enough that if someone had to take their sibling or child they would be entertained with both the adult and child humor. The story follows Peter Rabbit, an orphaned bunny living in a burrow with his three sisters who bring constant comedy about who should lead the family.

The storyline is very dynamic as you watch the main characters develop. One minute you think that the animals have matured and the next they are shocking a man by putting an electric fence on his doorknob. The bunny family is supported and protected by Bea, a kind painter who lives next to the burrow and is the “mother” of the rabbit family.

There is definitely some influence in the humor of Peter Rabbit from the 1986 classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” It is very obviously present in the humor of the film, with Peter as the rebellious character breaking the fourth wall to narrate the story. The story also features a brother who is reluctant to participate (a la Ferris’ friend Cameron) and a girlfriend who goes along with Peter’s plans. There’s also plenty of pop culture references that younger kids will miss but older audience members will appreciate.

The voice cast for Peter was amazing with James Corden absolutely nailing the title role. After you see the movie you leave a complete believer Peter Rabbit has always spoken in a British accent. Bea, played by Rose Byrne, was perfectly casted as the helpful “mother” of the rabbits also gives a very kind, nurturing angle to add to the storyline.

The plot does get a little bit slow for some of the older audiences just before the climax. But the story picks up and leads into  a satisfying conclusion.

Overall, anyone who read the books as a child will definitely need to see this movie, but if you get stuck taking a younger sibling, there is definitely some humor in there for older audiences.
