As a childhood fan of the blue-coated, red hat wearing, marmalade-loving bear, it certainly wasn’t difficult to be charmed by “Paddington in Peru,” an absolute joy of a movie from director Dougal Wilson. Delivering another heartwarming and adventurous tale, this third installment in the series takes the lovable protagonist and the Brown family on an exciting journey deep into the Amazon. The result is a family-friendly romp that blends humor, mystery, and plenty of heart. When Paddington (voice of Ben Whishaw) receives word that his dear Aunt Lucy (voice of Imelda Staunton) has gone missing from the Home for Retired Bears, he rushes to Peru to try and find her. Not wanting to set out on a whirlwind adventure alone, he travels with the Brown family (Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Samuel Joslin, Madeleine Harris) and Mrs. Bird (Julie Walters) in tow. When they arrive, the nun in charge (Olivia Colman) seems a little “off,” especially after learning that the visitors have hired a mysterious boat captain (Antonio Banderas) to navigate the jungle. A quest to find Aunt Lucy quickly transforms into an extraordinary adventure, leading Paddington to uncover numerous secrets about his orig
Read the whole review on TMDBA worthy addition to a fantastic series. A fairly notable departure from the previous installments under Dougal Wilson's direction, but in a way that handily manages to avoid feeling unwelcome. As other reviews have noted, some of the charm of the London-based Paddington adventures is lost, and there is an ambitious venture into a zanier style of humour, but this lands far more often than not. Sally Hawkins is much missed, and it feels that the character of Mary was down-written a bit in response, denying Emily Mortimer the opportunity to make the role her own, a little unfairly. Meanwhile Olivia Colman provides one of the best characters of the whole series as The Reverend Mother in a genuinely hilarious performance highlighting her ridiculous range. A special mention has to go to the visual design, which runs the gamut from impeccable sets, to studied cinematography, to fun cartoony animated effects, to jawdroppingly beautiful sequences that appear hand-painted. I was prepared to go home disappointed, but Paddington in Peru makes it 3 for 3.
Read the whole review on TMDBPaddington in Peru is the first of the trilogy not written and directed by Paul King. King chose not to return and moved on to Wonka instead, but he pitched the idea for the third Paddington film and executive produces. Emily Mortimer also replaces Sally Hawkins as Mrs. Brown while Mr. Curry (Peter Capaldi) doesn’t appear at all. Paddington receives a letter from The Reverend Mother (Olivia Colman) at the home for retired bears that his Aunt Lucy is acting differently and misses him terribly. He makes his way to Peru with the Browns only to discover that Aunt Lucy has gone missing. Now he must endure uncharted territory in the jungles of Peru if he ever wishes to see her again. Meanwhile, the home of the Brown family has changed drastically. Judy (Madeleine Harris) spends her time recording travel vlogs and choosing where she intends to go to college. At the same time, Jonathan (Samuel Joslin) is an inventor who uses his gadgets to assist in his video game-playing laziness. Mary (Mortimer) is already feeling the wrath of empty nest syndrome. At the same time, Henry (Hugh Bonneville) stresses over whether or not he can adapt to the action-oriented demeanor of his new boss. The trip
