19 Critic Reviews

Paddington 2 feels even more fully realized with a strong sense of identity and presence.

Matt Goldberg, Collider

The film veers from enormously funny to slightly sad.

Ed Symkus, Gaines Ville

“Paddington 2” leans a little heavily on its simplistic message.

Stephanie Merry, The Denver Post

Paddington 2 pulls it off with flying colors.

Alex Welch, IGN

The movie fills you up with optimism and hope that all the bad things will go away.
