Chicago, see Paddington early and for free

Paddington may have unwittingly become the star of a creepy meme, but, lest the Internet forget, the marmalade-loving bear has been charming the Brits for well over 50 years. And, to the surprise of many, he continues to charm in the book-to-film adaptation, which received positive reviews when it debuted overseas this past November. Ben Whishaw voices the bear and he’s joined by a stacked cast of heavy-hitters, including Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, and Nicole Kidman as an evil taxidermist. Paddington opens stateside on January 16, but The A.V. Club has an opportunity for you to see the family film early and for free on Saturday, January 10.
