Is anything as improbable as a "feel-good" movie that actually leaves us feeling terrific? How about two of them in the same series?

Chicago Reader

The Paddington films preach a message of acceptance that's no less straightforward than that of The Shape of Water, encouraging viewers to share in the hero's tolerant worldview.

Paddington himself is a furry reincarnation of Fred Rogers, so powerful that he can make even the most sensitive and selfish baddies embrace their innermost vulnerabilitie.

There isnt a thing I didnt love about this beautifully crafted Paddington Bear story. The story line had so many positive messages about kindness and acceptance, so sweetly conveyed by Paddington without being sappy. It was visually gorgeous and presented such nostalgic London scenes. Loved the prison setting and the integration of Paddington as one of the convicts! The last scene with Hugh Grant was perfect. Just loved this movie !!

The gold standard for sequels. This film is simply superb. Hugh Grant gives the mind of performance that wins awards if they actually gave best actor awards for these kinds of films.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
