I saw it yesterday and I loved it. Good plot, good writing and Paddington was quite great. as you can tell from the trailer, he went to jail for something that he didn't do and somehow, well, let's just say that he made a few friends. Hugh Grant did a good job on his part and was quite funny. If you loved the first one, the you will enjoy this one. It's fun for the whole family, hilarious and was a heart warming ending. Who says the sequels's never good?

And the award for best movie of the year goes to...

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN!!!!!

It was an incredible movie! This was Hugh Jackman's best work since Les Miserables! It had amazing songs, amazing choreography, great choice of actors and a breathtaking story. It's a story about acceptance and following your dreams, taking risks, how show business came to be and how the greatest showman that ever lived went from being a tailor's boy to being a success. From the bearded lady to the tattooed man to the dog boy to the irish giant to general Tom Thumb to Ying and Yang the siamese twins, the biggest sideshow oddities and freaks from the sideshow world was featured in this awe-inspiring film. P.T Barnum's story has shown us that it's okay to be different. Don't be ashamed of who you are especially deep down. In the words of P.T Barnum "The noblest of art is that of making others happy" and this movie did just that.
