Paddington
SCORE: 82
I am very thankful that Family Friendly Gaming had the financial
backing to purchase Paddington on DVD on Black Friday. This cute little
film is very family friendly. It is also one of the safest movies we
have watched all year long. The one thing that confuses me about
Paddington is no one seems surprised to find a talking bear. Are we in
the Chronicles of Narnia or something.
Paddington has some cool lessons in it. This movie teaches us to care
for others, think of others, do the right thing, have manners, and clean
up the messes we create. There is plenty of humor in Paddington for the
entire family. Paddington helps out a family in London in some neat
ways. It is cool to see how his impact morphs the family into something
completely different and better. They learn more about one another and
spend more time together.
The portions of Paddington that families will be bothered by is peril,
breaking and entering, drinking, deceiving, lack of respect for the head
of the house hold, cross dressing, a spot of violence, and more. There
was some humor in the cross dressing scene, as uncomfortable as it was.
Another character very interested in the cross dressing character made
it even more uncomfortable, gross, and disgusting.
For some reason Paddington has accidents that escalate quickly. The
bathroom scene has to one of the best moments of this movie. The bonus
features on the marmalade loving bear movie are Meet The Characters,
When A Bear Comes to Stay, From Page to Screen, and Shine Lyric Music
Video. For the life of me I can not understand why the evil character in
Paddington does not see the financial value in a talking bear.
The grumpy cat twelfth doctor from Dr Who makes an appearance in
Paddington. The actor's name is Peter Capaldi. He plays a fun role in
this movie. Him and Nicole Kidman bring some Holly Weird star power to
Paddington. It is neat to see this known children's character receiving
such good treatment in this live action film. I hope to see more movies
based on Paddington in the future. Hopefully they can clean a few things
up.
