1/3/2023 0 Comments Paddington 2 movie review![]() ![]() Paddington was the creation of children’s book author Michael Bond, who wrote a series of very sweet, small-scale books about the titular bear, so named because he was found at Paddington Station in London after having spent his early years in “darkest Peru.” (Bond originally wanted Paddington to have arrived from somewhere in Africa, until it was pointed out to him bears don’t live in Africa.)Īdopted by the Brown family - Henry, Mary, Judy, and Jonathan - Paddington explores London and gets to know this very busy new world he’s landed in, especially his new neighborhood of Windsor Gardens. ![]() Who is Paddington? (Besides a bear, of course.) Paddington loves living in London. But before we get there, I need to tell you a bit about what Paddington is. It was the most attentive I’ve seen an audience in a long while.īut why this movie? Why this bear? There are a handful of good reasons for Paddington’s growing, very polite world domination. We all laughed at the right parts and teared up at the right parts and just generally got into the movie’s groove. Paddington 2 is currently the best-reviewed film of all time on Rotten Tomatoes (an admittedly useless stat that will get tanked the second someone decides to add one negative review, as happened with Lady Bird), and though its opening weekend box office was a little soft, it only fell 25 percent in week two, a very good hold, especially for the dark filmgoing days of January.Īnd I, dear reader, can attest to Paddington 2’s power, having gone to an 8 pm screening in Los Angeles, well-attended by kids, parents, and assorted couples having a date night (your brave correspondent included). This is a lot of excitement for a children’s film about a computer-animated bear who is very polite to people.īut Paddington fever extends beyond Twitter. You fuckers really are going to make me see this movie, aren't you? And then it's going to turn out the entire thing is 90 straight minutes of "Never Gonna Give You Up." - Tasha Robinson January 21, 2018 ![]()
