Karen Han Polygon The thing about the Paddington movies is that they are perfect. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine Is anything as improbable as a "feel-good" movie that actually leaves us feeling terrific? How about two of them in the same series? Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The Paddington films preach a message of acceptance that's no less straightforward than that of The Shape of Water, encouraging viewers to share in the hero's tolerant worldview. Feb 1, 2018 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine Between Paul King's direction, the neatly written script and the bombastic performances, “Paddington 2” moved me, made me laugh and made me cry. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 5/5 Jan 14, 2025 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Paddington 2 delivers an even more impressive celebration of pure decency and kindness breaking down evil. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film Paddington himself is a furry reincarnation of Fred Rogers, so powerful that he can make even the most sensitive and selfish baddies embrace their innermost vulnerabilitie.

Eliana Espectacular la recomiendo al 100 💕🎈 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Brandon B Best kids Movie Ever! Me and my kids really loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review Kristen There isnt a thing I didnt love about this beautifully crafted Paddington Bear story. The story line had so many positive messages about kindness and acceptance, so sweetly conveyed by Paddington without being sappy. It was visually gorgeous and presented such nostalgic London scenes. Loved the prison setting and the integration of Paddington as one of the convicts! The last scene with Hugh Grant was perfect. Just loved this movie !! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/22 Full Review Lori Great story line. Kept us interested. At times it seemed a little drawn out especially for kids n Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/22 Full Review Starchgirl Great movie for kids and parents. Pleasantly entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/22 Full Review Vicenzo C Somehow doubling the charm by placing Paddington in a prison cell, Paddington 2 is elevated by a good-old fashioned train scene as its climax and an off the rails performance by Hugh Grant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
