Audience Reviews for Paddington 2

  • Jan 17, 2020
    I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the first Paddington and almost as surprised again by how much this one lived up to it as a sequel.
    Gimly M Super Reviewer
  • Dec 15, 2018
    Adorable and charming with beautiful production design. Kids should get a real kick out of it, adults should still appreciate the love that went into this and the cast obviously having a great time. The train showdown is almost Mission-Impossible-worthy.
    Jens S Super Reviewer

    Even better than the first with a sweet funny and magical story which ably entertains on two levels for kids and adults. Hugh Grant almost steals the show and the rest of the cast is perfectly cast. A very good family movie! 05-18-2018

    As delightful as the first one with the added bonus of Hugh Grant's terrific villain.
