Bridget Jones is back! The sequel to the 2001 hit. This sequel lacks the charm that its predecessor had, but Renee Zellweger as always charming and shines as the character, and this film still has a little bit of charm but under theBridget Jones is back! The sequel to the 2001 hit. This sequel lacks the charm that its predecessor had, but Renee Zellweger as always charming and shines as the character, and this film still has a little bit of charm but under the charmingly uncharming direction by Beeban Kidron (Amy Foster and Used People). Based on Helen Fielding's second novel in the series, the three original writers including Ms. Fielding, Richard Curtis, Andrew Davies return to write the screenplay also they got another writer on board Adam Brooks. The story takes places four weeks after the first film Bridget Jones (played once again by the adorable Renèe Zellweger) is still working as a host and is dating Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Bridget is jealous of the time that Mark spends with his co-worker Rebecca (Jacinda Barrett), Bridget thinks Mark is cheating on her, which causes their relationship to go down hill. Despite a vacation meant to smooth things over, ends their relationship. On an assignment in Thailand, she has a dalliance with her ex Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and is temporarily jailed for falsely accused for drug smuggling before Mark rescues her. Look I don't care for the predictability, I loved this movie is it perfect? No it's not perfect but it's a funny charming funny rom-com it's still cheerful and that's what I love about the Bridget Jones series, is it funny? Yes. Despite issues I found in the direction and some in the script. Zellweger saves this film, I still found this movie charming it's a good film with problems. 3.5 out of 4… Expand

Cannot understand why the critics were so harsh with this. Just as good as the first one. There are some seriously classic scenes here and although Hugh Grant's limited screen time was unfortunate, it was still a very funny, romantic movie.

This is a fairly amusing film sequel. Its not as good as the follow up, Bridget Jones' Baby, which I saw recently but its still entertaining and amusing, in a cringe-y way, as all Bridget Jones films are. Its hardly the best film of its typeThis is a fairly amusing film sequel. Its not as good as the follow up, Bridget Jones' Baby, which I saw recently but its still entertaining and amusing, in a cringe-y way, as all Bridget Jones films are. Its hardly the best film of its type but it could be worse - seeing Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fight like little boys is amusing enough and there are comical moments with Bridget skydiving and the like. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it but there are worse films around, though I'm not sure this is the best of the 3 films made to date, it could certainly be worse. A harmless bit of slapstick fun.… Expand
