Paddington 2 Ratings & Reviews
- Lucas CraparottaMarch 25, 2025It's a lovely movie, better than the first
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025This film is very close to perfection and somehow manages to improve on the already excellent first movie. Character and colour drips from every utterance. The idealised London is also pleasure to see, it's just a shame it's a fairytale. Highly recommended.
- RyezooFebruary 14, 2025What a fantastic film. I was in love with this from start to finish. The humor had me laughing to the point of crying at times and it almost got me in the feels more than once! This is even better than is predecessor. High Grant is an awesome addition. The stylistic choices this movie takes brings everything to another level. Prison Paddington is the coolest! So much I want to say but it's best to keep this short and just say everyone needs to see this movie. I am so happy that this will most likely make it into my top 10 of 2017

These are based on the beloved books by English author Michael Bond. Although Paddington ends up in a prison in PADDINGTON 2, the sequel is less scary than the first PADDINGTON movie with Nicole Kidman as the menacing taxidermist in the first film. When Paddington is in prison, the initially intimidating-looking inmates befriend the kind Paddington. With lots of physical comedy, Paddington 2, teaches about the value of compassion, kindness, and families. While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy’s hundredth birthday, Paddington sees a unique pop-up book in Mr. Gruber’s antique shop. He sets out on a series of odd jobs to buy it. However, when the book is stolen, it’s up to Paddington and the Browns, with Mrs. Brown as the lead female detective, to find the thief. PADDINGTON 2 features Hugh Grant in one of his funniest roles. Other well-known British actors, many of whom are stars in British dramas, in comedic roles in this movie include: Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Brendan Gleeson, Eileen Atkins, Michael Gambon and more. PADDINGTON 2 is laugh-out-loud entertaining movie for all ages with hilarious physical antics to satirical allusions to British life, culture, literature, and movies. Beyond the British satire are more clever references to universal situation comedy with a red sock in the washer turning all the prisoners’ uniforms pink, struggling with aging, teens going through typical adolescent turmoil, and much more. In PADDINGTON 2, the references to American movies and musicals are also very funny such as the film’s climax with Paddington chasing the villain Hugh Grant across a train’s roof, as in the Johnny Depp Lone Ranger movie with the tunnel and the universal railroad switch comedy. The ending seems to satirize Broadway musicals, especially The Producers’ ending scene, “Prisoners of Love.” PADDINGTON 2 is both hilarious and heart-warming. Despite Paddington’s misadventures, Paddington is always kind and polite, as he looks for good in everyone. Paddington teaches, “If we’re kind and polite, the world will be right.”
