19 Critic Reviews

Two veteran actors who fit right into the proceedings while clearly having a blast are Jeff Goldblum and Cate Blanchett

Neil Soans, The Guardian

Back from darkest Peru, our hero is at the mercy of unscrupulous actors, but generosity, emotional depth and top-class clowning win the day

Wendy Ide, The Guardian

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

Stephanie Merry, The Denver Post

A children’s film that really does not talk down to its intended audience

Pete Hammond, Deadline

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