Took the grandchildren to ActOne and a nearly full cinema - which is always cheering as is the chocolate cup with a random range of goodies in it. So that’s a good start… the infants had seen it with the other grandparents but happy to go again… also I thought a good sign… But it’s not up there with Paddington 1 or 2. It’s a shaggy bear story about looking for Aunt Lucy and El Dorado in Peru. Antonio Banderas and Olivia Colman are the new characters and Emily Mortimer replaces Sally Field as Mrs Brown. Don’t miss the High Grant cameo at the end. The production values are high, there are half a dozen real laughs and all those British stars, but it’s not as coherent as the earlier films. The message that you can be at home and loyal to more than group, tribe, culture or country is well-expressed and quite moving. But not quite enough. |
