As a result, Paul King’s marmalade-filled movie has quickly become aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes’ best-reviewed movie ever with 165 positive reviews and 0 rotten.
There are only four movies on Rotten Tomatoes with 100% positive rating with over 100 reviews: Paddington 2, Toy Story 2, the documentary Man on Wire, and French-German drama Things to Come.
The record was previously held by Toy Story 2, which holds 164 positive reviews and 0 rotten, while Lady Bird similarly broke the record last year before eventually receiving a negative review.
Doubts over whether Paddington 2 would resonate with American critics as much as with UK-based reviewers has quickly eroded away, our colleagues across the pond equally adoring the loveable bear’s adventure.
