After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear makes his way to England in search of a new home. The bear, dubbed "Paddington" for the London train station, finds shelter with the family of Henry and Mary Brown. Although Paddington's amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde has designs on the rare bear and his hide.

Critics Consensus

Paddington brings a beloved children's character into the 21st century without sacrificing his essential charm, delivering a family-friendly adventure as irresistibly cuddly as its star.

Paddington is a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid.

B-

Though not necessarily high-minded, 'Paddington' is a compilation of pleasantries set out to win the hearts of its observers, if not necessarily their minds.

While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these.

I Loved This Movie When I Was 8 Years Old. And I Still Love This Movie!

Perfect Film for all ages.

I wrote this movie off for a long time. It took me four years to get around to seeing it. When I saw the trailers, I just thought "oh great, more Garfield/Alvin and The Chipmunks bull****". Everything about it's CGI live-action family film hybrid screamed "we've done this before, and it was garbage" to me. It was only after years of insistence that no, this time it's good, that I actually got around to seeing it and...yeah...it is, it really is. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything, at it's core this is still a fairly standard family film about finding a place to belong, and I really didn't care for the central conflict or the villain. But nothing about it is inherently bad, at worst it's just standard in a movie that is otherwise really good. Literally from the first minute of screen-time as I was settling in I had already started laughing. The movie is just unbearably (no pun intended) funny, and it manages to be funny in a way that is clean and clever. It uses wit and charm to convey it's humor and it works. When it's not funny, it's still extremely charming and just damn likable. Yeah it's a pretty basic story, but damnit all the story works. Sure, I don't think we really needed this villain, but as far as the story of Paddington finding a family and a home goes it's genuinely heartwarming. The best family film I've seen in a very very long time.

A near perfect family film. Great fun and heart warming.

The much loved cartoon bear gets a feature length film which is close to being a masterpiece

Feb 3, 2019

Awkward pacing with clichï¿ 1/2 (C) plots. Flat characters with not much growth.
