Paddington 2

"If you prefer your family friendly films with plenty of laughs, delightful characters and a snappy pace, you absolutely will not be disappointed with this second installment of adventures about the little brown bear from deepest Peru."

"Another near-pawfect family entertainment, honuoring the cozy, can-do spirit of Bond's stories while bringing them smoothly into a bustling, diverse 21st-century London - with space for some light anti-Brexit subtext to boot."

"A family adventure that's the right sort of heartwarming, delivering real human emotion through the medium of a small bear."

"It might just be the quirkiest, most quintessentially British film phenomenon of the decade."

"The film is pitched with insouciant ease and a lightness of touch at both children and adults without any self-conscious shifts in irony or tone: it's humour with the citrus tang of top-quality thick-cut marmalade."

"This film is a little ripper that put a smile on my face that – hours after the screening – is showing no signs of fading."

"Paddington 2 is as irresistible as the dessert trolley our hero pilots, and as sweet as the marmalade that perpetually clags his fur."

"Effortlessly great, immensely satisfying."

"Paddington 2 won't save the world, sadly, but it's existence makes everything just that tiny bit better and more, well, bearable."

"Paddington 2 should be prescribed as an antidote to anyone who finds the madness of the modern world a bit wearing. It's probably possible to not absolutely love it, but it's hard to see how."
