New movie fan reactions: Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway

We went to see Peter Rabbit 2 last night and truthfully, I found it to be a whole lot of fun. I loved the Hollywood commentary about franchising and merchandising as well the heist/family subplots. It was very funny too and overall, I liked it more than the first. #PeterRabbit2 pic.twitter.com/AGl4yAyGsx
