Paddington 2 (out Dec 21) seeing the cute, polite, charming bear... sentenced to 10-years in a maximum security prison for robbery. It may sound farcical on paper but this film takes a few interesting turns and is better for it. Hugh Grant is wonderfully good as the villain and there are many laughs for adults and kids. A rare sequel that is better than the original. Grade: A-.
