"Paddington"


[Originally posted on 2/01/15]

I'm not a fan of slapstick or gags, but there's so much charm and heart in "Paddington" that it's hard not to feel warm and fuzzy or laugh outloud.  It's a story about finding a home, overcoming xenophobia, accepting differences, and being a part of the family.  And it's wildly fun! There's a killer plot, tied to Paddington's history, with a roller coaster of misadventures and spy actions (the "Mission Impossible" bits had me in stitches!).  Paddington is distinctively British, yet universally entertaining, sweet and wholesome for the whole family.
