To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Full disclosure: I did not expect much from this movie. I threw it on to have something light in the background, but Paddington won me over. Some great directing and CGI work have brought the quintessential British bear to life, and he is equal parts funny and heartwarming. Paddington's adventures in London are perfect viewing for the whole family.

This is one of the most creative, lovely, and visually stunning movies I have ever watched with my family. My son and I were laughing, tearing up and cheering.

Paddington is one of the best family movie i ever seen.Adults,kids ,all must need to see this.

Paddington begins by drawing attention to a set of old fashioned ideals on style, behaviour and propriety, and hopes that the current generation might learn a lesson or two. Disarmed of his rifle, explorer Montgomery Clyde finds that even in deeper, darkest Peru a bit of British hospitality doesn't go amiss, a cup of tea and a jar of delicious marmalade all that is needed to make lifelong friends. The opening scene is a whimsical delight harking back to the silent movie era, with a boxed-in frame, fuzzy faux black and white footage, and oodles of slapstick humour to start us off. And later, when Aunt Lucy farewells Paddington on his trip across the Pacific to find a new home in London, she fastens a tag with a simple plea that pays homage to not only Michael Bond's original children's novel, but also a time where the kindness and generosity of strangers shone through the darkness of the Blitz. Many have noted the film's allegorical association of Paddington's journey to the immigrant experience, and what's especially impressive is the ease in how the message of humanity and compassion is given universal appeal through the children's format of live action/animation blend. It pays close attention to how often these figures are marginalised and pushed aside upon arriving and trying to settle into the dominant culture, so much so that they become almost invisible. The film's usage of gentle magical realism is the best I have seen since that of Lars and the Real Girl, where a talking bear is treated as an unusual but not impossible occurrence, and as merely another strange creature washed up upon the shores of Thames here to steal local jobs (and clog drains with fur, throw buns at old ladies, throw picnics all night - the script poking fun at the slippery logic of anti- immigration rhetoric, with Kidman selling it with mock seriousness). See what Henry whispers to his family and how he ushers them quickly past the sight of the crestfallen Paddington, as if he was not a sentient, anthropomorphic animal, but something of a dirty foreign nuisance. It's not the bear aspect of his character that bothers the London residents, but the fact that he is an outsider. The script is witty enough that every time we think that we've gotten the film categorised and figured out (cliches abound initially: the strict, paper-pusher father who eventually warms to the chaotic intruder, and we all just know what will happen when Paddington visits the bathroom for the first time), it flips those expectations on their heads and has us giggling in another way. There's a double blow early; Paddington, voiced by the delicate Ben Whishaw, is all charm and manners upon arriving in London, until he's asked his name and roars indecipherably before chugging down from a teapot whilst scolding Henry for his rudeness. The most moving of these moments comes when the family gathers round to watch Clyde's old explorer footage from Peru, and a mesmerised Paddington reaches out to touch the jungle on the projector. You'd expect slapstick here, for his paw to go right through and poke a hole, or for him to stumble around and set the room on fire. Instead, he slips through seamlessly, and in a magical moment is transported right back to the colourful jungle where he was raised. By the end he's found something different but just as welcoming - a family and home to call his own.
