My wife Cathey and I just got back from seeing it. It's really funny. Of course, we're Wallace and Grommit fans anyway. But, having a werewolf reference thrown into the mix made it that much funnier, especially since Cathey has this thing for bunnies.
Alas, our theater was having sound problems, affecting the movie, causing its music to warble from time to time. I don't think it's a problem with the movie itself, as the previews and other advertisements had the same problem.

I was very satisfied with it, overall. Beforehand, some friends warned me that the movie might not contain a real shapeshifter- that it might just be a monstrous rabbit that never becomes human. But I had faith in the Brits, they generally have more folkloricly accurate werebeast films, and these warnings proved groundless. The monster rabbit indeed does have a human identity, and there are two full-blown (and rather funny) human-to-rabbit transformations, and one return transformation (with much inferior special effects to the other two, but I think intentionally so, because if you've seen "The Wolf Man" you may get the reference).

You shouldn't have to worry about the MPAA rating. For any of you under 18, you'll find it a lot easier to get in than most typical werewolf features. (Note that Cursed did get hacked into a PG-13 rating, only to get the missing two minutes of special effects put back in the DVD.) Wallace and Grommit is rated G. Thankfully, they're not mistakingly marketting it as a kid's movie. It just happened to get a G rating. I guess stop-motion claymation violence isn't considered as bad as video game violence.
Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...
