After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear (Ben Whishaw) makes his way to England in search of a new home. The bear, dubbed "Paddington" for the london train station, finds shelter with the family of Henry (Hugh Bonneville) and Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins). Although Paddington's amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman) has designs on the rare bear and his hide.

Karen Han Polygon It's just a sweet time for everyone. Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Paddington is absolutely, positively delightful. Jan 19, 2015 Full Review Dan Kois Slate Paddington is a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid. Jan 17, 2015 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Free of even the smallest inklings of cynicism and snark. Rated: 3/4 Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these. Rated: 2/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This was a very enjoyable viewing experience. Nicole Kidman was great as the villain!

Mark J Extremely meh is about the only way I can describe this. Lots of recommendations to watch it so built up to essentially an alright family film. Story was a tad boring and acting terrible. Peter Capaldi and Paddington himself were the only good things. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review TROYS S Paddington truly is a surprising movie, and it surely is the best non-animated family film made in 2014. It is ridiculous yet believable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Philip B Amazing movie for the whole family! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Nothing to really say, just a charming and funny movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Bobby B Ths film is great. I like it. Yay. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Audience Member A very cute and fun movie with a bit of adventure. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
