“Paddington in Peru”… I mean, why?

“Paddington 2” was a genuine classic: fantastic script and Hugh Grant as the villain.

Quit at the top?

But no, not when there’s money to be made on the way down, so we get this sad, desperate movie.

Everyone loves Olivia Coleman, they said to themselves. “The Sound of Music” is the ultimate feelgood movie. Olivia Coleman as a singing nun, it can’t go wrong.

But it did. I think Olivia Coleman’s great. I love “The Sound of Music”. But Olivia Coleman as a singing nun is dire.

The script is dire. The whole concept is dire. Julie Walters looks like her heart’s completely gone out of acting and the new Mrs Brown just isn’t Mrs Brown. She’s not even a very good imposter. Even Hugh Bonneville (brilliant actor) can’t save the day.

Such a shame. I would have loved for it to have been a triumph.

Watched Paddington In Peru last night. Fun, light, and feel-good, although a bit thin on jokes and gags. All a bit silly really, but no harm done. The films have a good heart though and great messages. Star for me was Olivia Coleman as a cheery nun, delightfully channelling Julie Andrews. I could watch her watch paint dry and still enjoy it!

Paddington in Peru, the popular bear’s third cinematic adventure, which was theatrically released in the U.S. by Sony last month, managed to seamlessly blend naturalist CG-animated characters against live-action backgrounds once again. #AuloLicino #BenWhishaw #DougalWilson #Framestore #ImeldaStaunton #JamesKing #Paddington #PaddingtoninPeru

When I first saw the title, I thought that Paddington in Peru might involve very pregnant undercover cops, cocaine dealers, and hollowed-out teddy bears (“it’s a good place to hide the blow”). Man, was I wrong. It’s actually about a Winnie the Pooh wannabe who writes letters in longhand despite lacking opposable thumbs.
