If I had to pick one movie that just feels sweet from the beginning to end, I have varieties I can choose from but today it would be Paddington 2. Honestly, this movie makes me feel like I’m getting a warm hug every time I watch it and I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s one of those rare films that’s not only funny and beautifully made, but also genuinely kind. That’s not something I can say about many movies these days.
I chose Paddington 2 because it’s impossible not to smile when you watch it, I almost cracked my rib from laughing while watching it. The main character, Paddington Bear, is this polite little bear from Peru who now lives with the Brown family in London. He loves marmalade sandwiches and tries his absolute best to be good to everyone. He wants to buy a special pop-up book for his Aunt Lucy’s birthday, but he gets framed for stealing it and ends up in prison. And this is where i think it would get dark, but somehow, the movie stays bright, hopeful, and hilarious. Paddington doesn’t let anger or fear change him. Instead, he brings joy to the people around him and even the grumpy prisoners finally changed and he eventually start baking and decorating thanks to Paddington. It’s adorable and honestly inspiring.
What makes this movie so sweet to me is, you know when something is not fake or overly sentimental or trying to manipulate your emotions. It’s just genuinely good. Paddington believes in seeing the best in everyone, and it makes you think about how powerful that kind of attitude can be. I admire that about him so much, the kindness he shows feels so real, like the kind of thing the world could use more of. If I could have one thing from this movie happen in real life, it would be for people to act more like Paddington. Imagine how much nicer everyday life would be if everyone took a little extra time to be patient, polite and caring.
I usually enjoy a good action or thriller movie now and then, but some times, I honestly prefer sweet movies like this. They just make me feel good instead of stressed out. When I watch Paddington 2, I don’t have to brace myself for violence or heartbreak I can just relax and enjoy something wholesome. It’s the kind of movie that reminds me it’s okay to be soft, to be kind, and to believe that goodness can still win. Paddington 2 might seem like a “kids’ movie,” but to me, it’s one of the sweetest and most hopeful films ever made.
