Plot

The film tells the story of a young Peruvian bear who travels to the city in search of a home. 

Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he imagines, until he meets the Brown family who read the label around his neck saying, "Please look after this bear. Thank you", and offer him a temporary home: Paddington should stay one night while they find a place for him to live permanently. 

Opinion

Whatever your age is, if you haven't already, I suggest you to go to the nearest movie theater, rent or buy this film, because it's worth the time and the money.

Director Paul King turns what might seems a children's film is a little jewel of cinema. Paddington is a real pleasure to watch. The little bear, cuddly and funny, sends an important message to nowadays kids: always be polite, no matter what.

Loved seeing Doctor Who aka Peter Capaldi. Also loved the music, and the group popping out in the streets.

Quotes

Paddington: In London nobody's alike, which means everyone fits in.
