Paddington in Peru is a harmless, but enjoyable, family film starring one of the few CGI characters to not look disgusting interacting with the real world.

Paddington in Peru is an enchanting and heartfelt adventure that offers a perfect mix of humor, emotion, and visual splendor. While it’s certainly a film for children, it’s equally enjoyable for adults, with its layered themes of family and discovery.

For a series previously defined by its lightness of touch and its capacity for whimsy, “Paddington in Peru” immediately seems dependent on too many machinations in its build-up. It feels overstuffed with dynamics but low on charm and cleverness.

Paddington in Peru stays well within the confines of family entertainment, but one can’t deny the franchise's formal edge it has over literally every other live-action children’s offering made in this decade.

Paddington in Peru offers a gentle, Amazonian adventure that continues the franchise’s celebration of kindness, family, and belonging—even if it doesn’t quite reach the emotional or comedic heights of its predecessors.

The most famous fictional bear outside of Winnie is now 66 years old. You wouldn't know that from his own film franchise which remains fresh, funny, and charming three films in.

The least of the three Paddingtons is still better than most kid flicks.

“Paddington in Peru” isn’t quite as wondrous as the first two installments, but it’s wonderful enough for these times.

If you were a fan of the first two movies, then there's a very good chance that you'll also be charmed by this third entry, which is just as amusing, entertaining, and engaging as what we've gotten before.

...[Paddington in Peru is] a family-friendly jungle adventure that places Paddington and the Browns in the middle of an unexpected quest. Unfortunately, the film lacks momentum for most of its runtime, with the screenplay offering few exciting moments.

Paddington in Peru isn’t the cinematic masterpiece the first two original films were, but it’s still an undeniable delight and proof that we should have at least ten of these films to follow our beloved bear through each of his endeavors.

Colman is even more amusing as the retired bears’ caretaker. She’s infallibly cheery even when what she is saying contradicts her positivity, making the Reverend Mother one of the film’s highlights.

Outside of Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas' performances, I was not a fan. The Paddington character has actually gotten worse.

I quite enjoyed this. It's not as fun or insane as Paddington 2 but there's enough charm here to make this an entertaining watch.
