With aunt "Lucy" about to celebrate her 100th birthday, "Paddington" has been taking odd-jobs so he can earn enough money to get her a gift. He alights on a special pop-up book from an antique shop but when it gets stolen, he finds himself in court accused of it's theft! It's the evidence of local Thespian "Phoenix Buchanan" (Hugh Grant) that sends him to prison. He's not exactly an instant hit whver mais...

I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the first _Paddington_ and almost as surprised again by how much this one lived up to it as a sequel. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**Possibly better than its predecessor, which is no small feat.** Charming and hilarious, with more than enough jokes for the young and the old to enjoy. Hugh Grant is an excellent and highly comical villain, and the rest of the cast is jam packed with cameos from British notables. A very worthy sequel 8/10
