    Paddington

    Reviewed by

    Something about the UK literary psyche, just cultivates the whimsical. Paddington is one of those all ages, accessible efforts that come along and earn some enduring interest. The casting is bang on, art direction top drawer and the story editing balanced finely. You couldn't have better actors, and Nicole Kidman's right as a cooly obsessed "meanie". Most of all the Paddington and his clan are done very well. This is a warm and clever film, not creativity for its own sake, but so you'll enjoy and embrace the story. Now, I wish for a good try at bringing the Rupert Bear books to the screen in a similar vein. Heard Paul McCartney was interested, but that was years ago. Paddington, isn't quite Mary Poppins nor Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for me, so it's a 7, but a high 7!
