Review

A
marmalade-loving bear with human level intelligence loses his home in
“darkest Peru” and sets off for London in PADDINGTON,
a live action film based on the beloved series of children's books.
In London, Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) is found by the Brown
family, and while Mr. Brown (Downton Abbey's
Hugh Bonneville) is against it, Mrs. Brown (Sally Hawkins) and
children Judy (Madeline Harris) and Jonathan (Samuel Joslin) convince
the safety-conscious patriarch to let the bear stay, at least until
other arrangements can be found. Meanwhile nasty museum taxidermist
Millicent (Nicole Kidman) plots to get her hands on our furry hero so
she can stuff and mount him, which she just might do with the aid of
the Brown's fussy neighbor Mr. Curry (Peter Capaldi).
