Paddington 2 (2017 Paul King)

'I want a Christmas film' Q said. I told her again we weren't watching Home Alone. The Griswolds was countered, and rebutted with The Shop Around the Corner - this was felt 'too old'.

Luckily Framestore connected me to this, which although not a CF is joyously funny and imaginative, and becomes a Wes Anderson film halfway through (always a good thing - imagine if HP and the DHs had become one for example - much better).

Hugh Grant is very funny. We'd just seem him on Graham Norton telling great stories completely deadpan.

Wonderful, funny script (King and Simon Farnaby) and inventiveness.
