Plot

edit

In the deep jungles ofPeru,a British explorer discovers an unknown species of bear. He learns that the bears are intelligent, capable of human speech, and have a deep fondness formarmalade.The explorer names them Lucy and Pastuzo and gives them his hat as he leaves, telling them that they are always welcome inLondon.Forty years later, after Pastuzo is killed by an earthquake, Lucy encourages their orphaned nephew to travel to London while she moves into the Home for Retired Bears.

The young bear arrives in London afterstowing awayon acargo shipand reachesPaddington station.He meets the Brown family, who take him home and name him after the station they found him in. Henry Brown, the father, does not believe Paddington's story and initially doesn't want to help him. His wife Mary and their two children, their adventurous son Jonathan and theirmultilingualbut unconfident daughter Judy who also initially shuns Paddington, and their eccentric housekeeper Mrs. Bird come to find Paddington endearing.

Paddington thinks he can find a home with the explorer who met Lucy and Pastuzo, but does not know his name. Mary takes Paddington to Samuel Gruber, an antique shop owner, who discovers that the hat bears the stamp of the Geographers' Guild. After they are initially denied access to the Guild archive, Paddington sneaks in with Mr. Brown helping him by dressing up as a cleaning woman to distract the guard. Paddington learns from the Guild archive that an expedition to Peru was undertaken by an explorer named Montgomery Clyde, but the Guild erased their record of it.

Meanwhile, museumtaxidermistMillicent Clyde stuffs exotic animals to house them in theNatural History Museum.When she learns of Paddington's existence, she sets out to hunt him down. Scheming with the Browns' nosy and lonely next-door neighbour Mr. Curry, who instantly falls in love with her, Millicent sneaks in while the Browns are out and attempts to capture Paddington. As he defends himself, he inadvertently starts a fire in the process. Paddington tries to tell the Browns the truth, but due to him not seeing who did it as Millicent was wearing a gas mask, no one believes him.

In shame, Paddington secretly leaves later that night and attempts to track down Montgomery Clyde himself, using thephone bookto find the addresses of every "M. Clyde" in London. He finds Millicent's house, and learns that Montgomery was Millicent's father and that he died a long time earlier. Millicent resents her father for losing his Guild membership after he refused to bring a Peruvian bear specimen home and opened apetting zoo.She pretends to be gracious and welcoming to Paddington but at the museum after he learns of her resentment of her father as well as her desire to stuff him, he tries to escape, but Millicent tranquillises him and prepares to have him stuffed. Mr. Curry discovers her true intentions and warns the Brown family, who have been trying to search for him since he left. Upon rescuing him, Millicent is about to tranquillise Paddington on the roof. Paddington throws his marmalade sandwich at her, causing her to be swarmed by pigeons before Mrs. Bird accidentally pushes her off by opening a trapdoor to the roof, leaving her hanging.

In the aftermath, the Browns allow Paddington to stay in their house permanently. Millicent is arrested and sentenced tocommunity serviceat her father's petting zoo. Paddington writes to Aunt Lucy, saying he is happy and has finally found a home.

Reception

edit

Classification

edit

In November 2014, theBritish Board of Film Classification(BBFC) gave the film aPGcertificate for its UK release and advised parents that the film contained "dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references [and] mild bad language." Paul King, the film's director, told BBC reporter Tim Muffett: "I'm not surprised about that [the PG certificate] but I don't think it's a PG for sexiness. That I would find very odd." Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, said he was "totally amazed" at the BBFC's advice. After the film's distributor challenged the certification, the BBFC revised the wording of its parental guidance, replacing "mild sex references" with "innuendo". It also further qualified the "mild bad language" as "infrequent", saying it referred to "a single mumbled use of 'bloody'. "[27]

Box office

edit

Paddingtonwas released on 28 November 2014 in the United Kingdom,[12]where it took in $8 million (£5.1 million) on its opening weekend, and topped the box office for two weeks.

Critical response

edit

On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,97% of 164 reviews were positive, with an average rating of 7.90/10. The site states that "Paddingtonbrings a beloved children's character into the 21st century without sacrificing his essential charm, delivering a family-friendly adventure as irresistibly cuddly as its star. "[34]OnMetacritic,the film has a score of 77 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[35]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film a grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[36]

Upon its UK release,Peter BradshawofThe Guardiangave the film four out of five stars, saying: "the new CGI-live-action Paddington Bear could easily have been another garish, cheapo Brit-movie. Instead, writer-director Paul King... and co-writer Hamish McColl have created a charming and sweet-naturedfamily film,full of wit and fun, skewed towards young children but cheekily speckled with sly gags pitched at the older audience. "[37]Geoffrey Macnab ofThe Independentcalled it a "film of considerable charm but one undermined by a very bitty and flimsy screenplay. Writer-director Paul King has more flair for comic set-pieces than he does for sustained narrative."[38]

IndieWiresaid critics were "pleasantly surprised" and that the film was "hailed for its warm-heartedness and playful sense of humor... and Whishaw's charming performance".[39]Guy Lodge ofVarietypraised it for "honouring the everyday quirks of Bond's stories, while subtly updating their middle-class London milieu".[40]Leslie Felperin ofThe Hollywood Reportergave the film a positive review, saying: "It's a relief to report that the final film is actually quite charming, thoughtful and as cuddly as a plush toy, albeit one with a few modern gizmos thrown in."[41]Ignatiy Vishnevetsky ofThe A.V. Clubgave the film a B, saying: "If the film seems head-and-shoulders above the average effects-driven family-matinee flick, it's because it never gives the impression that it's trying to be anything more (or less) than good-natured and fun to watch."[42]Jason Clark ofEntertainment Weeklygave the film an A−, saying: "A gloriously whimsical big-screen debut that's closer to the madcap spirit of the Muppets and the lovingly rendered style of a Wes Anderson film than to standard multiplex family fodder."[43]Claudia Puig ofUSA Todaygave the film three out of four stars, saying: "Paddington's journey from South America to London is just droll enough for adults – qualifying as a gentle parable about xenophobia – and exuberant enough for the youngest viewers. "[44]Moira MacDonald ofThe Seattle Timesgave the film three out of five stars, saying: "Paddingtonis, ultimately, about how a newcomer can become part of a family, and about how good manners and marmalade can get you out of any tricky situation – delightful messages, at any age. "[45]Bruce Demara of theToronto Stargave the film three out of four stars, saying: "It's a relief to say that – as films based on fictional animals go –Paddingtonis better than merely bearable. "[46]

Barbara VanDenburgh ofThe Arizona Republicgave the film three and a half stars out of five, saying: "Paddingtonis a mostly smart update loaded with charm, and it preserves enough of the fuzzy feelings for purists to walk away with a smile. "[47]Peter TraversofRolling Stonegave the film four out of five stars, saying: "An irresistible charmbomb. The in-jokes are verbal and visual, managing to reference themes as diverse as immigration and insider trading. It's all very droll and quietly, memorably dazzling."[48]Sandie Angulo Chen ofThe Washington Postgave the film three out of four stars, saying: "Because of its adorable protagonist, laugh-out-loud gags and touching premise,Paddingtonsucceeds in a way most CGI/live-action hybrids do not. "[49]Betsy Sharkey of theLos Angeles Timesgave the film a positive review, saying: "Artfully and cleverly, the sweet spirit of that young bear from darkest Peru and his many London misadventures materializes brilliantly on screen in the very good hands of writer-director-conjurer Paul King."[50]

Mary Houlihan of theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying: "This is a charming film whose underlying message of tolerance and acceptance strikes a palpable chord in today's world – both for children and adults."[51]Jocelyn Noveck of theAssociated Pressgave the film a positive review, saying: "For parents looking for a film that'll please them and their kids in equal measure,Paddingtonis—as Goldilocks would say in that other bear story—just right. "[52]Tom Long ofThe Detroit Newsgave the film a B+, saying: "Paddingtonis an absolute delight, visually inventive, thoroughly goofy and goosed by a mix of dry British wit and pratfall shenanigans. "[53]

Two years after the film's release, in 2016,Empiremagazine rankedPaddington81st on their list of the 100 best British films, with their entry stating, “A great big hug of a movie,Paddingtoncharmed the public and critics alike in one of the nicest surprises of 2014, adding itself to the canon of beloved Christmas movies.”[54]
