The sequel to 2014's hit Paddington. Original cast members Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins return alongside newcomers Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson. When Paddington is thrown in prison, it's up to his adoptive family, the Browns, to find the real criminal and clear the bear's name.
A perfectly balanced family film for everyone from toddlers up to adults, this is a sweet, funny, Wes Anderson-y charmer. Being the highest rated film ever on Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing) might be a bit much, but we see what they're getting at.

Another near-pawfect family entertainment, honuoring the cozy, can-do spirit of Bond's stories while bringing them smoothly into a bustling, diverse 21st-century London - with space for some light anti-Brexit subtext to boot.

A family adventure that's the right sort of heartwarming, delivering real human emotion through the medium of a small bear.

It might just be the quirkiest, most quintessentially British film phenomenon of the decade.

The film is pitched with insouciant ease and a lightness of touch at both children and adults without any self-conscious shifts in irony or tone: it's humour with the citrus tang of top-quality thick-cut marmalade.

This film is a little ripper that put a smile on my face that – hours after the screening – is showing no signs of fading.

Paddington 2 is as irresistible as the dessert trolley our hero pilots, and as sweet as the marmalade that perpetually clags his fur.

Paddington 2 won't save the world, sadly, but it's existence makes everything just that tiny bit better and more, well, bearable.

Paddington 2 should be prescribed as an antidote to anyone who finds the madness of the modern world a bit wearing. It's probably possible to not absolutely love it, but it's hard to see how.
