To be honest not much happens leading up to the event. Brett's friends throw a party in his garden without his prior knowledge whilst his parents are away, and afterwards finds out he is accepted into 7 colleges, oh and he accidentally blows up the school when a senior prank goes wrong,which is what we saw at the start of the movie.
Around half an hour in he creates a video which lists everything he wants to do and accidentally publishes it for everyone to see worldwide which attracts hundreds of likes and comments. Coupling this and the explosion, Brett is told he would not be graduating from school thus ruining his chances of attending college. As a rebellion he invites everyone to burn their school books in the shape of a certain gesture and shares it online gaining him thousands of followers. He is eventually contacted by someone who wants to turn his fame into a money making scheme, the more followers he can get, the more money he will receive.
All this dragged out for a whole hour of the movie and I felt the storyline was pretty rubbish. I expected it to be a guy attempting to tick off things on his list with the help of his friends, but the list was only really mentioned once or twice. Very disappointing.

This was a pleasant way of starting my Saturday. There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't think I'd feel the urge to see it again.
Kids films always have those adult undertones to keep parents and films nerds entertained. But the ones in Peter Rabbit were frustrating in their fourth wall breaking. It felt like they were all saying, "you got that right?"
There were some laugh out loud moments, but writing this seven hours later I'm having trouble remembering any of them.
Before this one was released there was a lot of uproar about a food allergy scene. Those fluffy tailed little terrors deliberately set off Mr McGregor's food allergy and he ends up having to inject himself with his epi-pen. There were talks of a boycott because of this "food bullying" scene... okay, fine I can see your point... but do you take your family to see a Marvel/DC movie and tell them not to go around punching people and trying to wear pec-enhancing body armour? No you don't, because you bring them up to know right from wrong and how to make valid fashion choices. From a very young age you teach young children to be nice to other people, this isn't the first time they'll see a type of bullying in a film, it won't be the last. Use it as a teaching tool. I find it really difficult to be offended by content that should be counter balanced by common sense.
