This silly thrill-ride is much more fun than it has any right to be.

It is relatively light on blood and not scary at all. It is funny, though, and generally pleasant to watch.

It is entertaining, but reined in where chaos could have made it soar.

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

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 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 is one of the most entertaining movies of the year and a clear favorite to win some Oscars in March.

The charm of the performers, as well as some amusingly straightforward writing, carries this past its clichés for a while.

It is entertaining. Yet the movie practically disappears as it unfolds.
