Paddington

Let us know what you think of it (ps I'm not 75 yet and DD2 is only 3, so bearing that in mind ....)

pps the film Paddington doesn't look that cuddly, unlike the real Paddington in the books

Son, DIL and three children aged almost 2, 6 and 9 have just been to see Paddington and loved it so much they're going again next weekend, with me!

I've been hoping to go with some grandchildren, so those big hints have worked!

Well, it's make a change from Frozen!!

'it will' make a change - fingers getting a bit frozen today ...

'Let it go!' Rose! If I hear that song one more time, I'll scream!

Yes me too, granddaughter used to sit in the back of the car and sing nice little ditties like "5 little ducks went swimming one day" now all we get is this dirge that builds into a strangled crescendo of "let it go", after which she asks "would you like me to sing the song from Frozen again?"....."er No"

I read yesterday that they are making a sequel

We all enjoyed it. There was a lad sitting next to me who was probably three and he laughed so loudly most of the time I was glad the volume was so loud. I must admit the seven year old nearly cried at one time, sensitive little soul, and my grandson did keep asking me questions, but he understood it all (ASD) and laughed a lot too.
When I mentioned to my son and his partner that some people said it wasn't suitable for children under 8, they could not understand it. They could not see anything in it that was objectionable.

My DD took her DC, age 7 and 5 yesterday. They were a bit frightened at one stage when someone was being nasty to Paddington but overall it was a great success and my SIL was disappointed that he missed it as he was at work.

We went to see it yesterday afternoon and thought it great film, very funny, not sure where the sexual innuendo came in . I didn't see any , unless it was the scene with the cleaning lady, which was quite harmless IMO.
I would say though, I think it probably better for adults, not enough ACTION for children.
The only SLIGHT critisim I have is that the bear looked a BIT like a fox, rather than a bear.
Anyway we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Well worth £6.30 for two tickets with Orange !

I took my GC ages 5 & 9 this week - we all enjoyed it.

But there was one scene which totally shocked me ... the wicked female museum director, gave a very hard slap right across the face of her hapless male sidekick!

There is no way a male boss slapping a female on the face would feature in an adult comedy film, never mind one aimed at children.

I'm puzzled as to why that scene didn't attract criticism rather than a bit of mild innuendo.
