Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

jmmustchin Paddington is one of those funny, nonsensical and unrealistic family comedies that is simply delightful to watch. It tells the story of how Paddington came to London. It's quite funny, heart warming and well done overall. The special effects are very good, too. The actors do a brilliant job. The plot and script flow smoothly. A perfect family film - with practically no crude material (unlike many other "children's" films and shows).

wuawuamusic I remember Paddington from school around 25 years ago. I always knew that it's surprisingly smart for child books. But I kind of never liked Paddington. That said, still, I watched the movie out of curiosity. So, I hated stuff like the Chipmunks movies and most such new film interpretations with originally drawn characters. I didn't expect much. But... wow! I laughed so much and loved all the small details. The writing, the acting, the directing, editing and the CGI, etc... is just enormoulsy great! Everything is so much better than all this generic, stupid Hollywood stuff of today's times. And the movie seems to work even for people that usually never watch such a movie. I mean, I'm kind of a Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders, etc... guy. So... 10 stars for sure!

WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, Paddington really surprised me. The story is light hearted, very funny, and has some great lessens for children. The characters are all great and funny in their own way and the dialogue between the characters is good. The ending is heartwarming and hilarious.The acting is very good. Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Nicole Kidman, and Tim Downie all perform well. Imelda Staunton and Michael Gambon do some great voice over work. Ben Whishaw delivers the best performance as Paddington. His voice is so sweet and calming which gives his character a light and kindhearted feeling. The pacing is good but slows down towards the middle. The runtime is very short. The CGI is a little dated though.Pros: Light hearted and funny story, great acting, amazing voice acting by Ben Whishaw, Paddington as a character, a short runtime, and a great endingCons: Some slow pacing in the middle of the film and some outdated CGI Overall Rating: 8.0P.S. I can't wait to see Paddington 2 after watching this film. Ms. Bird is hilarious and I hope she is in the second film.

travis_laramee When i saw the poster for this i thought i would not watch it but today i have and my gosh did i like it . Its your run of the mill new person trying to find a place where they belong kind of like Stuart little but it is very well done.' I find that it was a very funny movie there was good jokes in it which is good with me. Honestly i went in to this movie excepting nothing and got a lot of smiles and laughs and isn't that what we need in our life. Great movie.
