Reviews for this film from our members:
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: With quirky British humor, inventive production design, a terrific turn from Hawkins and even an ‘in-house’ 5-piece Calypso band, “Paddington” makes January film-going a whole lot brighter.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: A good part of the film’s charm is that, even in the face of this cynicism, Paddington remains unchanged…
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Excerpt: Paddington’ Will Have Children Of All Ages Smiling From Ear To Ear
- Kenji Fujishima @ Slant Magazine
- Hugo Gomes @ Cinematograficamente Falando … [Portuguese]

- Excerpt: ‘Paddington’ is an absolutely delightful screen adaptation that tells the story of a young bear who moves from the Amazon to London in search of a new home and family.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com

- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The character, who is the personification of goodness, strikes just the right balance of sweetness and mischief. Paddington’s amusing mishaps often rely on his naiveté.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Adorable. So witty and compassionate and bittersweet and just the right little bit of snarky that you will cry tears of joy from the perfection of it.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Paddington is so sweetly charming that criticizing it would make one just feel like a grump. This is one of those gems one will actually remember during the doldrums of January moviegoing.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Amir Siregar @ Flick Magazine [Indonesian]
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Thoroughly charming, but evinces a British sensibility that might put off American audiences–which would be a shame, since this is the best family movie of its kind since ‘Babe.’
