Paddington 2 (2017)

December 4, 2017 11:33 AM

Paddington, now happily settled with the Brown family and a popular member of the local community, picks up a series of odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, only for the gift to be stolen.

Saw this last night with the family. Genuinely heartwarming + lovely. I think it’s actually better than the first one & that’s a tall order. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hugh Grant enjoying himself quite that much before.

Out in the US at the beginning of January I believe - you should all go see it :)

They had a preview for it before Coco and it was one of the few that my kid and his friend seemed interested in. I'll keep an eye out for its release!

I liked it (and my 9yo daughter loved it) but it felt a little sequel by committee, with all the big laughs of the first reprised in a slightly soulless way. But definitely not bad, and Hugh Grant gives great panto villain.

We just watched this. It’s easily the best recent Sally Hawkins movie with underwater peril and daring escapes. I loved it so much!

Sweet and entertaining and entirely pleasant, mostly non-stressful, and very charming.

This movie was pure wholesome fun. Hugh Grant was a campy delight.
