This is very skillful genre filmmaking, with an understated, no-nonsense, flair. It’s a pleasure to watch.

The jokes are mostly lame, the story absurdly predictable and the characters totally generic.

It isn’t a disaster by any means, but it is a tremendously disappointing mess.

I bounced back-and-forth between feeling something and being bored.

While the story itself is incredible, as presented here, it just isn’t very interesting.

The movie loses interest whenever the monkey is out of the picture. That’s kind of an issue, yet it isn’t a big one.

Paddington in Peru has its pleasures, however, it also backgrounds some of the better aspects of the series.

A very worthwhile viewing experience.

A goofy, gag-a-second, very cartoony, animated comedy that is a ton of fun for, as they say, the young and the young at heart.

It may never break through the genre ceiling to become something more, yet it is smart, exciting and funny. I had a good time with it.
