“PADDINGTON”

The bear from the children’s book is found in London by the Browns, who endure kid-friendly kerfuffles while trying to keep Paddington safe from the museum taxidermist. It’s utterly charming though not given to much deep thinking. Starring Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville, Nicole Kidman and the voice of Ben Whishaw. Directed by Paul King. (Roger Moore, Tribune News Service) Rated PG for mild action and rude humor. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 34 minutes.
