Cast: Ben Whishaw (voice of Paddington), Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville, Hugh Grant, Brendan Gleeson
Synopsis:
Paddington is inadvertently involved in a disgruntled actor's theft of a rare children's book giving clues to the whereabouts of hidden treasure in London. As a consequence, he must spend some time in hoosegow, but makes invaluable acquaintances in the process.
Review:
Supreme family entertainment, with every role taken by a pillar of the British acting establishment, topped by a career re-defining performance by Hugh Grant. The aesthetic, perhaps aided by the prison settings, also takes leaves out Wes Anderson's book in terms of framing, tone and colour scheme.
