Paddington Bear ventures back to his Peruvian homeland in 'Paddington in Peru,' a charming but less impactful installment in the beloved trilogy. While the film retains the heartwarming spirit and whimsical visuals of its predecessors, it lacks the mischievous energy and comedic brilliance of 'Paddington 2'.
As delicious as a marmalade sandwich can be, too many can be just too much, especially when they aren’t made by the same person, who knows how to spread the jam just right. When it comes to marmalade sandwiches, and now, “Paddington” movies, a maxim that my grandfather used to apply to martinis comes to mind: “one is not enough, and three is too many.”
“Paddington in Peru” remains a charming, heartfelt and beautifully designed film, and the trilogy is still a gold standard in children’s entertainment, foregrounding themes of family and fun. This time around, Paddington Bear reconnects with his roots in Peru, in an Amazonian adventure that could easily be titled “Paddington: The Wrath of God” or “Raiders of the Lost Marmalade Jar,” with its nods to such influential films featuring Indiana Jones, or epic river quests directed by Werner Herzog.
Discovering Aunt Lucy has disappeared from her home, Paddington and the Browns employ riverboat captain Hunter Cabot and his daughter Gina to take them into the deepest part of the Amazon in hot pursuit. Unaware of Hunter’s ulterior motives , the Browns set off down the river and find themselves in a whole lot of hot water in search of Lucy.
But there’s just something about “Paddington in Peru” that doesn’t quite connect; it’s missing a certain campy verve, the mischievous twinkle in its eye that Grant brought to his portrayal of bad actor Phoenix Buchanan in the second film. Colman finds this tone, but there’s not nearly enough of her in the film.
