What exactly do you mean by kids these days?
Paddington Bear first appeared on 13 October 1958. Kids these days must be quite old.
I have also watched various other British comedies including a lot of Monthy Python's things.
This is exactly how British comedy has been for decades.
I'm sensing a theme tho. You don't like a lot of, maybe not even any, cartoon movies, do you?

So, since you liked this movie, does that mean you'll watch the sequel unrequested? I certainly hope so. The distinguished British actress, Dame Maggie Smith (McGonagall) has one of her most memorable scenes in it.

I think that "acting their ages" has lost it's meaning these days.

Um, NOOO...Meant that British kids' films today tend to cynically overcompensate, and think they have to overdo the need to be in-your-face about the plot (did we really need a nasty-villain and big-chase scene for Paddington?), because that's what "kids like" and they don't. They tend to be a people with deep phobias of not being seen acting their ages.

Excellent, the perfect movie to watch after "Bride of Chucky".

When I saw that you will watch "Nanny McPhee" I was delighted. However this is not the one I have watched myself. After just checking on internet. Turns out I had seen the sequel and not this one. I like the sequel a lot more! Never even knew there was a another one before the one I had seen. That would explain some things in the one I have seen.

I keep seeing 00’s-DVD babysat fans saying “Oh, you have to do this one!”, and Emma Thompson clearly wanted to homage Mary Poppins, but…it’s NOT Mary Poppins, literally or figuratively—Like the cover suggests, feels like there’s a thick layer of Mean and Nasty over the entire thing. Maybe that’s why the recommendations like it, or maybe it’s because modern British are embarrassed about kiddy films and like them snarky and grownup-cynical, which is why I could never quite make it through the Paddington movies either.
