Paddington 2 (Quick Review)

Paddington 2 is such a sweet, cheerful, moving, humorous, adventurous, creative, all around enjoyable treat.  It and its predecessor are ideal examples of good, wholesome family films both children and adults can thoroughly enjoy.  The sequel’s plot begins with Paddington (Ben Whishaw) getting various jobs so he can buy a special present for his Aunt Lucy’s (Imelda Staunton) 100th birthday.  Unfortunately, the present he desires is stolen and Paddington framed for the crime.  Paddington gets sent to jail while his adoptive family the Browns—Henry (Hugh Bonneville), his wife Mary (Sally Hawkins), their son Jonathan (Samuel Joslin), their daughter Judy (Madeleine Harris) and their housekeeper Mrs. Bird (Julie Walters)—try to prove his innocence and discover the real culprit.

Wonder (Quick Review)

Wonder was not a film I expected to surprise me.  One view of its trailer and I had a preconceived notion as to what it would encompass.  I was uncertain whether such content would be effectively handled by its makers, but nonetheless knew what to expect plot-wise.

Except I was completely wrong.
