Paddington 2 Movie Review 2018
Paddington 2 Review:a deliciously funny Hugh Grant makes the bear's sequel impossible to resist.
Imbd rate: 8.1/10
Paddington was uncommonly charming and Paddington 2 is very nearly as good. That said, for approximately nine minutes, you may have minor concerns. Will this film merely coast on the cosy lovability that made its forebear (sorry) such a joy? How can the bar be nudged up, and who’s going to do it?
Everyone’s favourite ursine Peruvian immigrant left his debut in such a warm and happy place, there’s a nagging lack of comic friction as we dive back in. The Brown family, living in their perfect multicultural haven of Windsor Gardens, are trying out some new eccentric hobbies, are they? Forgive us, makers of Paddington 2, for a light tapping of feet.
The film’s original cast bring the same heart and humor they did to the first film, with Sally Hawkins’ quirky Mrs. Brown emerging as one of the film’s best components. Her undying commitment to Paddington lets her participate in some hilariously ill-advised plans to try and free him from prison. And King’s direction sometimes feels more reminiscent of Wes Anderson - specifically with a few, key visual gags - than anyone might go into the film expecting.
But Paddington 2 is never better than when it’s highlighting the effects that its titular bear has on those around him, and how his kindness eventually spreads out and touches not only The Browns, but everyone in his small, London neighborhood. So while Paddington 2 may not ever try to be more than a funny and lovable family film, the work put into it by all those involved combines together to make it one of the best live-action family films in recent memory.

Errant luvvie Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant on deliriously hammy form) is just one of the moreish treats in this gelato-hued comedic feast. The film retains the Keatonesque physical comedy – like all the finest silent clowns, Paddington is endearingly earnest, even as he dangles from the ceiling fan of a barber shop. But visually, it’s more arresting than the first film – there’s a precision to the framing and to the meticulous palette, which evokes the work of Wes Anderson. Meanwhile, an appealing animated sequence nods towards the homespun naivety of Michel Gondry’s Be Kind, Rewind.
