Charming is the one word that comes to mind when thinking about Paddington.  I was bowled over by how much this movie made me laugh and smile.  There’s a pretty predictable story at its core but the performances around it and a great villain turn by Nicole Kidman were all surprising as well as how good the animation worked with the live action.  A great movie for families to watch together.

Recommend? For sure, especially on a family movie night.
