Based on the stories of the character Paddington Bear created by Michael Bond, it is the sequel to the 2014 film Paddington.

REVIEW SUMMARY
"In a word, Paddington 2 is: charming. This is a really fun family friendly film that delivers big on cuteness. Hugh Grant gives a magnificent performance – some of his best work in years. This is truly a harmless jolly good watch!"
