Summary
Comedy starring Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington. When a rare pop-up book is stolen before Paddington can buy it as a birthday present for his aunt Lucy, the little bear is arrested as the prime suspect in the theft. While Paddington is attempting to make the most of his incarceration, the true thief is using clues hidden in the book to locate the immense fortune of its late author.

Review
A star rating of 5 out of 5.
Victoria Luxford
Paddington Bear returns in a triumphant sequel, which sees our ursine hero framed for the theft of a valuable book by an egotistical actor. The film not only manages to be a superior sequel, but also one of the best family movies you're likely to see. The lovable bear takes the audience on an adventure that involves prison, police chases and a hatful of marmalade sandwiches. There are plenty of hilarious moments, with a script that peppers the dialogue with quick wit and funny misunderstandings, delivered by a consummate cast of performers led by Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins as Mr and Mrs Brown. And, as the villainous thesp Phoenix Buchanan, Hugh Grant revels in a role that demonstrates just how deft a comedy actor he can be. Paddington 2 is irresistibly good fun and the perfect choice for kids and adults alike.
