Beatrix Potter's books are known for being quaint, quintessentially English children's stories. The Hollywood adaptation ignores this for a brash comedy that misses the point of the books. Worst of all is the main character was turned from a mischevious youngster to a sociopath who's actively trying to kill someone. There were the occasional jokes that made me chuckle like the Rooster (Will Reichelt). But the film was an obnoxious, cynical cash grab that took away the charm of Potter's work. Watch the '90s animated series instead.
