Paddington 2 is funny, charming, and heartwarming. Abundance of love and detail went into every frame to make this film as gorgeous as possible. It's a shining example of a perfect family movie.
Having just watched Spring Breakers, I'm definitely surprised by the high rating it has. Not so much because I hated it, but I just didn't expect it to be so well received. Some of this movie feels like Girls Gone Wild, the subplot about Selena Gomez's character being religious doesn't go anywhere-maybe there is some vague connection about her rightfully wanting to leave after they go to jail-but really, anyone with sense would've wanted to leave, you wouldn't have to be a believer. Ashley Benson's character doing strange things with a water pistol is odd, to say the least, maybe it's meant to be humorous, there are a number of repetitive scenes and dialogue, like when the "You're Sacred Aren't You"; sentence is retold 10 times, and the plot just isn't that original or entertaining. James Franco does well to be basically unrecognisable as to what looks like an imitation of the joke that is Riff Raff. Not hard to get through, but I definitely didn't connect with it like many have. 2.5-2
