New on DVD: Take a heartfelt adventure with 'Paddington in Peru'

Tribune News Service on

Published in Entertainment News

The third movie featuring the beloved ursine created by author Michael Bond tops the DVD releases for the week of April 29.

"Paddington in Peru": The British bear reconnects with his roots in Peru after receiving distressing news about his aunt in this latest outing.

"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," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "'Paddington in Peru' is still incredibly touching in its story of acceptance from both found family and birth family. It’s still silly and amusing with a childlike innocence and purity of heart that appeals to both kids and adults. It still pays homage to film history in a way that will delight cinephiles. But having seen the heights of 'Paddington 2,' this third installment could only pale in comparison."
