Not your average bear
Because of its adorable protagonist, laugh-out-loud gags and touching premise, the sweet little film "Paddington" (PG, TWC-Dimension), about a cub who finds a family and home, succeeds in a way most CGI/live-action hybrids do not. While the slapstick isn't original, director Paul King makes the silliness work. Based on a half-century of classic children's books by Michael Bond, the movie is set in the present and keeps the focus in London. A marmalade-loving bear cub travels from "Darkest Peru" to England to find the explorer who long ago discovered his aunt and uncle. The cast includes Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey"), Peter Capaldi ("Doctor Who") and Nicole Kidman.
