Free of even the smallest inklings of cynicism and snark.

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 29, 2025

This was a very enjoyable viewing experience. Nicole Kidman was great as the villain!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 29, 2025

There is so much I loved about the movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2022

Paddington is an old fashioned live action / animated film that recalls the lushly realised "fairytale" films of the 80's and 90's, and features terrific actors for oomph.

Offers up a message of tolerance. "In London everyone is different," says Paddington, "so everyone can fit in." It's a big idea, washed down with a giant melting-pot of marmalade, but also a timely one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2021

Visually artistic but comparably appropriate for undiscerning, easily diverted viewers.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2020

It's just a sweet time for everyone.

Paddington weaves together a whimsical yet believable world.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020

Unexpectedly effective commentaries on immigration...

[P]erfectly captures the whimsy and fun of the books and this beloved lovable bear while sprinkling it with the sweet goodness of orange marmalade!

Sweet, charming and visually lovely, it is one of 2014's biggest surprises and one of the best family films of the year.

For those who grew up with him, and for children just now discovering him, Paddington is a refreshing treat, a film whose childlike sense of wonder is utterly and completely infectious.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 5, 2019

It is a gentle movie the whole family will enjoy.

| Original Score: A+ | May 2, 2019

In short, Paddington does almost everything right.

Además de la agradable presencia en pantalla de Sally Hawkins y Nicole Kidman, no hay nada más que pueda destacar de la corriente historia de Paddington.

| Original Score: 5/ 10 | Jan 19, 2019

Paddington is more than a little retro, but its eponymous hero is a worth a look.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 20, 2018

It's very genteel, and the ingenious skits of Paddington and the Brown family celebrate the essential inventiveness and eccentricity at the heart of the British sensibility.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2018

Paddington may well be the biggest surprise of 2014, and a prime example of how to adapt material aimed at young children right.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Eventually gets lost in Scooby Doo plot territory, but at heart it's a story of a young bear trying to find his way in a new world.
