Paddington

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Aibu to think that the only people who love Paddington, are the people who think 'love actually' is a great film?

[Threenme]

Possibly... I love Paddington, I've watched love actually 1001 times!

[Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar]

Nope. Dead wrong.

[almightygirl]

I like Paddington but loathe Love Actually. It’s in my top 5 worst movies ever. Interested to see if I am an anomaly!

[WishingOnABar]

Can’t stand Love Actually but really enjoyed Paddington.

Ds is asd and struggles to connect with tv / film characters but sat through all of Paddington and loved it. Also really loves Mr Bean. I think it’s something about the absurd he really enjoys, or that they are “outsiders” struggling to understand the world? We are looking forward to seeing Paddington 2 next week

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Okay. Iwbu. I'll take it.

[Ski4130]

Love Paddington, really don't like Love Actually. Sorry to rain on your parade.

[Growingboys]

Not at all. Love Actually makes my skin creep, but Paddington is ace!

[WishingOnABar]

If by any chance you want to start a thread about how wanky the end of Love Actually is with the bee gees track on repeat let me know, I’d be right over there agreeing with you

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Dd is dying to see Paddington but I think its the 'oh so British' thing that turns me off. The hugh grant 'fuckity fuck fuck' thing

[Onehellofaride]

The first time I watched love actually I hated it. Now I really enjoy it. It’s not the greatest film ever but it really makes me smile. I’ve not seen Paddington 1 but went to see Paddington 2 yesterday and it was a lovely easy watch that made me laugh out loud on a couple of occasions. Take them on face value, it’s not going to be the best film ever but they are a bit of light relief.

[Smellyrose]

Hate Love Actually but have loved both Paddington films. Sorry, OP!

[PinkHeart5914]

I don’t like love actually, watched it once and I never intend on watching it again.

I love Paddington. He is a cute bear how can anyone look at him and not think Cute! My dc are too young for the cinema so I am going to make Dh take me to see the film

[dantdmistedious]

Love Paddington. Never seen Love Actually.

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Think I the first aibu to realise I was

@ILoveMillhousesDad
With you on the Britishness thing.
Had a crap day .... can I borrow a feeling?? 🙂

[Walnutwhiplash]

The complete absence of talking bears ruined Love Actually for me

[Twoweekcruise]

Just came back from the cinema, absolutely loved Paddington 2, actually think it's better than the first and I loved that too. But must confess I am a fan of Love Actually but I make no apologies for that as I'm a sucker for a soppy film.

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Borrow my feeling over

[PrivateParkin]

I hate Love, Actually and I love Paddington. Why do you bracket the two together?

[Ttbb]

I like Paddington but his adoptive family are v annoying.

[PrivateParkin]

Oops posted too soon. Have you seen the first Paddington OP? Because I know it is set in London, but it's a kind of fantasy London to me, I mean fantasy as in "another world" like Hogwarts or something, not like a Richard Curtis idealised London that's actually meant to be a real place where people live. IYSWIM?!

[KC225]

Love Actually is dire but Paddington is lovely

[Gemini69]

Love... Love Actually... Loathe Paddington

[Liiinoo]

I hated the first Paddington movie so won't go to the second one but I actually love Love Actually.

[LesDennishair]

God no!
Not a fan of Love Actually.
