December 2017 - Film

Welcome All!

In terms of new films this month, here are two recommendations that you may find entertaining in the cinema this month.


Films in December:

Following the events of the first film, Brad and Dusty (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) must deal with their intrusive fathers, Don and Kurt (John Lithgow and Mel Gibson) during the holidays, along with Dusty's conflict with his stepchild's biological father, Roger (John Cena). Father and stepfather Dusty and Brad join forces to make Christmastime perfect for the children. Their newfound partnership soon gets put to the test when Dusty's old-school, macho dad and Brad's gentle father arrive to turn the holiday upside down. After a sudden change in plans, the four men decide to take the kids to a luxury resort for a fun-filled getaway that turns into a hilariously chaotic adventure. My rating 8/10.

With his Aunt Lucy’s 100th birthday approaching, Paddington (Ben Whishaw) wants to buy her something special. He settles on a unique pop-up book of London, but it’s too expensive for a bear’s meagre means. Before Paddington can save enough to buy it, the book is stolen by local actor Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant), who has a much darker reason for wanting it. The world of Paddington is much as we left it. It’s London, but a version far removed from reality, where even newsagents live in multimillion-pound Georgian villas as fantastical a notion as a talking bear. When he sets his heart on buying his elderly aunt a pop-up book, which is beyond his budget, he has to save to up. Just a day away from earning enough, the book is stolen. In trying to apprehend the thief, Paddington is arrested as a suspect, sent to jail and the Brown family have to fight to clear his name. Paddington 2 is every bit as enchanting as the first, perhaps even more so, but it feels arbitrary to pick a winner. The film is a pure delight, as sweet and sharp as, well, marmalade, really. My rating 9/10.
