Reviewer notes

Recommended

I loved the optimistic notion of "Aunt Lucy" when she convinces the young "Paddington" to travel from darkest Peru to London safe in the knowledge that the wartime spirit will soon see him adopted by a loving family and bathing in a sea of marmalade!…

RecommendedTrusted family reviewers

So fuckin' cute. I mean the whole aspect of this movie's "villain" was a disaster, but what a delight it was to watch Paddington go. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

RecommendedTrusted family reviewers

**Keeps getting funnier each time I see it.** The kind of perfect family film that has something for all ages, not just kids. There is plenty of sly adult humour that isn't dodgy, and enough slapstick so the kids will laugh at the silly bear's antics. On top of that it is well animated, and full of heart. 8/10
