A young bear grows up in Darkest Peru with a love for all things British, especially marmalade. When an earthquake forces him to flee his homeland, he sets out for London to find a family to take him in. He meets the Brown Family (Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters) and Mrs. Brown convinces everyone that Paddington should come home with them, at least until they can find a better home for him. They name the young bear Paddington and he immediately wreaks havoc on their lives. Will Paddington find a forever home? Will he be able to avoid the evil taxidermist (Nicole Kidman - hilarious)? Will he melt the Brown's hearts and bring joy back into their lives?

Yes, Yes and Yes. I actually loved this movie. It is a great family film. It is funny and endearing. The Browns are a real family, with feuding kids and buried dreams. Paddington wakes them up to what is important in life. And, Nicole Kidman cracked me up. If you have kids, take them! If not, just go see it anyway.
