Description: Paddington returns to Pery to visit his beloved Aunt
Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown family in
tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an
unexpected journey.
Review: Paddington has been living with the Brown family for several years. The
children are almost young adults. Mother Mary worries about the inevitable
empty nest as daughter and son increasingly live their own lives. But then a
disturbing message arrives from Paddington’s homeland in Pery. For one last
family adventure, the Browns travel to the Peruvian jungle, where they come
face to face with crazy villains, spikey plants and singing nuns. Like its
predecessors, “Paddington in Peru” is a dryly comic, slightly wacky and
heartwarming film for all ages.
When the family arrives in
Pery, Aunt Lucy is missing. So the Brown head into the jungle to find her.
Paddington’s clumsiness and enthusiasm is still the root of it. His politeness
and marmalade sandwiches are again his main weapon. Along with his new umbrella.
A true British gentleman, of course, cannot do without one.
Although still a writer on
the project, Paul King did not direct the third film in the series. Dougal
Wilson takes over. And it’s all a little bigger and brighter for this one. Even
though I still highly enjoyed this film, I prefer the smaller take on the story
in previous films (especially the second one).
I like all the Paddington
films, because Paddington himself is just the most adorable character. You have
to be completely heartless to not be affected by his kindness. The film is
funny, witty, charming, heartwarming and adventurous and this is the perfect
family film.
Rating: 4/ 5
