REVIEW: "PADDINGTON IN PERU"! ONE OF THE BEST FAMILY MOVIES OF 2025! IT'S BEAR ROARING SUCESS!
Great news to all those who haven't seen the newest Paddington film and here it is. They saved the best one for last! It's one of 2025 best family film to take the family too right now before you lose out. This time they got it so damn right: having Paddington in his blue coat, frumpy red hat and his trusty umbrella at his side and would you believe this movie puts "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" to shame too (This is how you do it Lucasfilm and with heart by the way.). I for one would be surprised when you come out the movie theater totally blissed out or floating on air. Literally it's a beary great time indeed. It's one hell of a bear hug movie for all: it's cute, cuddly and going to be a classic in due time!
Plot is so simple and lots of fun. Paddington beloved Aunt Lucy has been bearnapped in Peru and Paddington with adopted family go to rescue her in this funtastic adventure (Should've named this film "Paddington Jones and the Search for his Aunt Lucy"). Love those 3 Indiana Jones easter eggs to the original 1980's Indiana Jones trilogy. The whole adventure is blast to watch, enjoy and have lots of fun. There that word again. Fun! Everyone in the film has truly great story arc that that leads all of them to lost treasure of El Dorado. Give credit to new director Dougal Wilson who brings a warm, wacky and wonderful touch this third outing and it's new writers (Bring on "Paddington 4"!). Who knew Olivia Coleman could do comedy as flying nun and almost steal the movie from Paddington himself. Very big credit to Ben Whishaw for voicing Paddington too. Really great to see Antonio Banderas play multiple parts and having so fun too. There that word again. Fun.
For all those who truly adore and love the Paddington movies you better hurry up and go see this on the big screen and catch it as Saturday matinee who a theater full of families and kids. There is something for everybody in "Paddington In Peru"for adults, teenagers and kids to like and love. Really can't wait to pick this up when it's home video (Please have a dvd and bluray combo pack.) and would love to add to "Paddington 1 and 2" I already own and cherish. It's really hard to find nowdays a really good family film, that's PG rated to go see in 2025. "Paddington In Peru" is one of them by the way. Don't forget when goto the see it to bring your stuffed Paddington animal and lots of yummy marmalade sandwhiches too! Mahalo. Thank You. Wake Up!
