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

Don't think Paddington is a Great film, but thoroughly enjoyed watching it last night and left the pictures feeling happy.

Don't mind love actually....

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

Thank you soooooo much! I actually own a copy of Love Actually (not intended) and have never watched it (Thank F**)

My son loved Paddington despite being too old for it, and I’m pretty sure he’d hate Love Actually.

I hated both.

It's not the Bee Gees, it's the Beach Boys "God Only Knows"

The hugh grant 'fuckity fuck fuck' thing

Wasn't that in "Four Weddings and a Funeral"? A film which, I will admit, I found to be immensely annoying (along with "Love, Actually").

I reckon a lot of the "make everything super British" thing is to appeal to the American audience, because they may not get a lot of the references but if they spot places they recognise it'll interest them. The first Paddington did pretty well in America. I quite liked Paddington, never seen Love Actually and probably won't. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
