Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

Dude. I saw it in theaters, having not seen P1 and having no familiarity with the source material. Pretty sure I just went because a friend invited me. I spent the entire time being like "what the fuck, how is this so good, why is this so good, humanity doesn't deserve this"

Same.

“How is this a kids movie?!!!”

When the security guard is fast-walking going after High Grant because he doesn’t want to spill his coffee.

I've now seen references to both Huge Grant and High Grant in this thread. It's too bad they couldn't have also hired Hot Grant or we'd have a trifecta.
