However, don’t be fooled by the title Paddington in Peru; this movie is far from ordinary, drawing inspiration from the thrilling Uncharted series. Despite its action-packed moments, the film remains hilarious and full of quotable lines. Here are some amusing quotes, though be warned they do contain spoilers.

8. “Embrace The Risk.”

Madison

In the story, Madison is introduced as a novel character within the world of Paddington, similar to Hayley Atwell’s role as Agent Peggy Carter in the Marvel universe. She assumes Henry’s role at the insurance agency and encourages a risk-taking attitude that contrasts with Henry’s cautious nature. Her life mantra, “Seize the day,” eventually influences Henry so much that he decides to accompany Paddington on his journey to Peru. This is why Henry embarks on this adventure in the first place.

7. “Gotta Smell Good In The Jungle.”

Jonathan

In his adolescence during their time in Peru, Jonathan transforms into quite an unsavory character, often engrossed in gaming and secretly fashioning hiding spots within his room. Before embarking on their journey to Peru, he oddly sprays his dirty clothes with what appears to be Axe Body Spray. On the ship, his sister Judy queries about the peculiar odor, only to discover Jonathan once more dousing himself in the spray, preparing for jungle life. Despite the extensive use of body spray, it strangely doesn’t bring any comedic advantage or disadvantage to The Browns.

6. “Everyone Is Thinking, How Long Until We Eat Each Other.”

Judy

After reaching Peru, the Browns experience their initial major setback when they discover that Aunt Lucy has gone missing. This causes Hunter and Gina to plunge from the ship, leaving Paddington and the Browns to navigate on their own without their Peruvian escorts.

Despite facing difficulties, unfortunately, the ship meets its demise but fortunately, everyone aboard remains unharmed. As soon as they set foot on solid ground, Judy encounters a peculiar inquiry about cannibalism. This query, though grim for a children’s film, adds an unexpected humor to it, making it even more amusing.

5. “The Lord Moves In Suspicious Ways.”

The Reverend Mother

In a turn of events, Mrs. Bird decides to lend a hand at the convent, assisting the Sisters in caring for the bears. It isn’t long before she uncovers a secret that The Reverend Mother has been concealing. After some sleuthing, she finds peculiar cables hidden behind a musical organ. When confronted about this discovery, The Reverend Mother attempts to dismiss it as an insignificant matter with the phrase “The Lord works in enigmatic ways.” However, this doesn’t satisfy Mrs. Bird, who now suspects that The Reverend Mother might be involved in some undercover activity. As the others embark on their jungle escapades, they share playful exchanges and banter with each other.

4. “What?”

The Cabots

As a film enthusiast, let me share my take on one of the funniest scenes in “Paddington in Peru.” In a seemingly ordinary context, a line like “What?” might not seem amusing, but trust me, it’s gold in this movie! Hunter, the eccentric protagonist, is plagued by hallucinations of the past Cabot family throughout the film. The tension reaches its peak when Hunter and Paddington are trying to unwind by a campfire, but the spectral voices become too intense. In a moment of delirium, Hunter suggests eating the bear instead of seeking the El Dorado treasure. To this outrageous proposition, all five ghostly Cabots respond in unison with a bewildered “What?” It’s a clever wink to the audience, signaling that even in a children’s movie, certain jokes might push the boundary, much like the cannibal joke from Judy.

3. “It’s Called A Hard Stare.”

Paddington

In the movie “Paddington,” set in Peru, there are numerous references to the film series beyond Paddington’s fondness for marmalade. One such instance is when Paddington employs the Hard Stare to bring Hunter back to his senses after he contemplates sacrificing Gina merely to acquire treasure.

In a subtle twist, Hunter outsmarts his long-disguised cousin Clarissa, who had been masquerading as The Reverend Mother all along. It’s refreshing to witness Hunter resuming his role as a father towards his daughter in this film genre where villains are often portrayed with nuances rather than strictly in black and white.

2. “Please Look After This Bear.”

Mary

In this film, there are moments that tug at both your heartstrings and bring a smile to your face. However, the scene that’s most likely to make you cry is when Mary recalls her time with Paddington in El Dorado. She fears he might be leaving to live with his biological bear family from Peru. That’s when she discovers a tag in Paddington’s pocket saying, “Take care of this bear.” If that doesn’t trigger tears, then nothing else will in ‘Paddington in Peru’. Thankfully, the ending is uplifting as Paddington asks to remain with Mary and The Browns again.

1. “Nooooo!”

The Reverend Mother

In the heartwarming tale of “Paddington in Peru”, our protagonist, Hunter, embarks on a journey of redemption, but it seems my cousin Clarissa misses out on such an opportunity. Instead of serving time in jail, she’s compelled to don the habit and take vows as a nun. Rather than basking in the warmth of a tropical location, she is whisked away to a frigid landscape to care for polar bears in a senior living facility. Her resounding cry of “No!” echoes powerfully, reminiscent of Darth Vader’s iconic protest in “Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith”. That lesson, Clarissa, is for you to never again meddle with Peruvian bears!
