There is plenty of scope for a return visit to see more of Bridget Jones, so this may not be the last.ĭelightfully funny, with yes slapstick comedy that IS Bridget Jones. Still, 'Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason' has plenty of moments to make you laugh and it was fun to see the next episode of Bridget's diary.
#BRIDGET JONES EDGE OF REASON JACINDA BARRETT MOVIE#
The appeal of Bridget just wasn't as abundant and it sometimes felt like this is the sequel you have when a movie is such a mega-hit. She still has retained some of those quirks and mannerisms that can only be Bridget Jones but these were few and far between and were sadly lacking.
Bridget has also been allowed to become a lot more ditzy and clumsy which detracts from the charming idiosyncrasies of Bridget from the original movie. There is not much inclusion of Bridget's parents, especially of Bridget's father with whom she obviously has a special relationship as seen in the first movie and so it was disappointing that they have so little screen time. Many of these episodes were unrelated mini-acts and only held together because Bridget was in them. Another scene involves Bridget and Darcy on a mini-weekend away to ski, which seems to be included to allow for some rather silly skiing courtesy of Bridget, which was a venture into slapstick and didn't feel quite right. Bridget's trip to Thailand seems like it was created in order to have Cleaver included in the story and her stay in the Thai prison is purely embarrassing. Many scenes appear to be included just to re-introduce characters without any real relevance to the story. 'Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason' is disappointing in some aspects. She is unintentionally involved in drug smuggling and lands herself in a Thai jail, is rescued and returns home a wiser person.

She is still working as a tv journalist which gives an opportunity for a trip to Thailand where Cleaver will also be working for the same station. Bridget's romance with Darcy is causing her to question the whole romance issue and after a disagreement she tells him to take a hike.

This time Bridget has secured her man, Mark Darcy (the ever-gorgeous Colin Firth as the dead boring Darcy) and rid herself of the likes of serial womanising rat Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant perfect as ever), or so she thinks.

In a story that travels from the streets of London to the shores of Thailand - and finds Bridget skydiving (or falling), skiing (sort of) and going straight to jail (all a big mistake, really) - 'Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason' takes our beloved Bridget on a hilarious and unexpected new journey as she navigates the treacherous territory of modern love without ever losing her inimitable sense of humour.īridget is back. Suddenly jealousy, uncertainty and temptation - in the form of Bridget's former boss and womanising heart-throb Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) - threaten to upend Bridget's dream in a comic maze of bad advice, silly mix-ups and total disasters that could only happen to her. She can't help but wonder: what exactly is it that comes after the happily ever after?Īnd just as she's starting to figure it all out, enter the competition: Darcy's drop-dead, leads-up-to-there, never-says-the-wrong-thing new colleague.

Despite Darcy's apparent devotion, Bridget still finds herself asking questions about life, love and the proper way to put away underwear.
