Here we have a character that is so cute, it really doesn’t matter if the story is good, you just want to see him talk and move. But the story here is awesome. We go on a lively and comical adventure with a bear named Paddington.

Here we have another writer and director that amazes. Paul King has a limited number of titles as a director but he really shines with Paddington 2.
We see a lot of the same cast as the first film. There is a slight twist in that Hugh Grant’s character is conniving, seeking to steal a sacred pop-up book. There are laughs in this there are also some truly sad spots. Paddington interprets these emotions well. I think this film brings his personality to life much more than the first film does, and I liked the first film! As a fun family film that certainly entertains, I give this film an 8/10
