"It's a thrilling and whimsical adventure that will have your heart soaring."
— Kristy Puchko, Pajiba
"Everything that a kids' movie should be: sweet and adorable and kind, and adults can enjoy it too."
— Alonso Duralde, What the Flick?!
"Is anything as improbable as a "feel-good" movie that actually leaves us feeling terrific? How about two of them in the same series?"
— Michael Sragow, Film Comment Magazine
"Mainly, though, Paddington 2 is a comic triumph chock-full of slapstick, heart, and hope. Well done, Mr. Paddington Brown, well done."
— Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
"How rare that a sequel improves upon its original, and rarer still is a perfect film. But Paddington 2 is both, encouraging gentleness, politeness, and decency."
— Roxana Hadadi, Chesapeake Family Magazine
"If you have kids, take them. If you have nieces and nephews, take them. If you don't have kids but just want to feel like one yourself, go see it. Paddington is a bear for all seasons."
— Adam Graham, Detroit News
"A dash of Wes Anderson and a sprinkle of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, swirled around with a wonderfully fluid sense of airiness and light. It's mannered, yet carefree, colorful, and evocative."
— Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
"A movie that promotes the importance of family and good manners might seem like it could become the squarest of snoozes, but Paddington 2 is so transcendentally cheerful that it carries the day - and then some."
— Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
