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.

Paddington is a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid.

While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these.

Best British movie of all time. The villain is amazing, the story is a great way to modernise the books by Michael Bond, the cast is incredible and the villain is wonderful! I wish we could have a Paddington film that could try and be like the original compared to the agony the franchise is in right now.

Can't recommend it less. What an absolute joke. These were precious minutes I will never get back from my life. I could have used them better watching my neighbor's dog eat his own shit.

I loved this movie. I'm 76 and had thought I was too old. Not true. Great cast. Bear was delightful and Nicole Kidman excellent. Great way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Paddington is a well-produced and really amusing movie. A small bear comes to London and gets into some funny adventures while trying to find a family, as a villain tries to catch him for her museum. So the plot is fast-moving and inspiring.The screenplay is gripping and warm. The soundtrack with some folk and soul music fits perfectly and make this story even nicer and better. I think this film is stunning, unpredictable, full of kindness and perfect for any audience! Definitely worth watching!
