Review of Paddington 2 (2017) by Rrrrrttrrtf E — 27 Oct 2017
I was blown away by this movie. British at its best and so so so much better than the first! A real roller coaster of a movie packed with so much fun and action. This will truly be an instant classic and rolled out at Christmas for years to come.
It really is one for all the family as it works on all the levels in terms of humour and visuals. It has a great story at its heart and then is layered by some terrific set pieces, slap stick and dance routines some of which are just laugh out loud.
Don't make the mistake of thinking this is just a kids movie - it is definitely not! The key ingredient (other than Paddington) and against my better judgment - is Hugh Grant. Normally an actor I am not find of.
But here he really shines playing a self serving, self absorbed... actor. Obviously not a great stretch for Mr Grant! But he is in on the joke and so will the adults be, giving some of the best belly laughs to the adults in the audience at least - for a long time.
An utterly brilliant film and very much British at its best. Go see it!
