“Paddington 2” faced strong headwinds in its United States release when its domestic distributor, The Weinstein Company, went bankrupt in fall 2017 after the downfall of co-founder Harvey Weinstein. Paddington 2 is playing in theaters everywhere now.The previous two “Paddington” movies - mixtures of live action and CGI - were global box office successes, grossing more than $280 million and $225 million worldwide, respectively. Paddington’s fur is vividly tactile, and his immersion in this live-action world is absolutely seamless. The pop-up book sequence is THE highlight in a film filled with dazzling special effects. Paddington himself, created entirely by C.G.I., is woven into recognizable settings amid live action and beside live actors with a wizardry of an astounding ordinariness. The greatest achievement of Paddington 2, however, isn’t dramatic-it’s purely technical.

The sequel has the same tone as the original but is livelier and funnier, mostly due to Hugh Grant, who gleams as the bad guy. – Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal YOU MAY HATE HUGH GRANT, BUT YOU’LL LOVE HIM HEREĬould it be that Hugh Grant was born to play a villainous dandy in a kid’s movie? Paddington 2 is The Godfather Part II of Peruvian bear movies, a sequel that surpasses the superb original. This is a film of such open-hearted joy and grace, which feels rare in an industry that often embraces cynicism and sarcasm, including in its children’s stories. There are slapstick hijinks and silly scenarios aplenty, but at its heart Paddington 2 has something serious to say about making the world a better place through daily acts of kindness.

Here’s what the critics are saying about Paddington 2: THE TIME IS JUST RIGHT FOR AN OUT AND OUT THRILLER OPTIMISTIC TALKING BEAR MOVIE LIKE THIS The Paddington and Toy Story movies are family works that are bright, funny, and target broad audiences without cynicism - catnip to critics who love movies that appeal to kids and adults alike. Or maybe not! This bearly beloved sequel has much more in common with Toy Story 2 than an intimate, Sacramento-set teen comedy. And, yes, Lady Bird did eventually get a Rotten review, a cruel fate we predict will befall Paddington 2 in time. (Clue: yes.)”įor those keeping track at home (and what else would you be doing there?), yes, Lady Bird was queen of this game last year. We hope it inspires people to go to the cinema to see for themselves if a talking animal film really can be any good, and whether Hugh Grant really can look devilishly handsome even while dressed as a nun. So many people pour their hearts and souls into them for months or even years, hand-crafting every last frame, and we are all incredibly grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve had so far.
