Good movie to bring grandson for 8th birthday?


I'm not much of a movie go'er and my soon to be 8 year old grandson said he wants to spend his birthday with "gramps" so I was thinking this movie coupled with dinner at a nearby Cheesecake Factory Restaurant would be a good 1 - 2 punch.

I think an 8 year old would love it; I know I would have at that age. It's probably the perfect age to watch a film like this.

thanks for the input appreciate it

Totally agree. This is a movie for all ages. In our showing we had tons of kids around 8 and they loved it.
Great choice

I'm 17 and I loved it so he should really enjoy it. Good choice.

reply

He'll enjoy it just as much as grandad, loads of good jokes, good hearted and great performances from top British actors.

i'm 25 and i have watched it 5 times at the cinema. it's such a good movie. and there are a lot of kids who were laughing in the cinema ^^ you and your grandson are going to have a great time!

reply

Yes, that would be a perfect birthday treat; your grandson is lucky to have such a cool "gramps"!

26 years old myself and I had a smile on my face most of the movie and when I wasn't smiling, I got a bit choked up during certain scenes. It's a fantastic movie from beginning to end. Kids of all ages will love Paddington, the movie as a whole and of course the bear himself.

Thanks for all the replies to my initial post, I had thought i posted a post movie reply, guess not. senility?
but we did indeed go see Paddington on its Friday premiere day, I had visited London in September so it was nice seeing familiar sights, kind of like "I was there!" both myself and grandson thoroughly enjoyed Paddington, lots of fun,
