The movie, for all its comedic ridiculousness and wild circumstance of the paternity crisis, is a jubilant celebration of women. This is Bridget’s story, and the man is just gravy. Though the premise of “Bridget Jones’s Baby” makes it seem as if it’s all about the guy again, that isn’t the case. And she is certainly not the other single gal of her time, Carrie Bradshaw, who seemed to become less and less relatable as the years went by. She is messy in that way that women in other rom-coms “say” they are but never actually are. She’s a woman who has finally grown into her own skin. There is still a madcap, slapstick jitteriness to dear Bridget, but calmness has emerged, too. Much of the original cast is back and wonderful (Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones, Sally Phillips and Shirley Henderson), save for a sorely missed Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). Is this a fantasy, or is this just men being kind to the woman who is possibly carrying their child? Does it really matter? It could be either Darcy’s or Jack’s.īoth men hop to the challenge, trying to out-partner one another at every turn. She walks away from that, too, and continues on with life until she gets the news that she’s pregnant. A few weeks later, she finds herself having an unexpectedly romantic night with a now-separated Darcy. She has a good time with Jack and goes on her way. He’s a single, not sleazy relationship guru who is immediately smitten with Bridget. She falls in some mud, but she also gets the attention of Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Of course, she doesn’t realize they’re going to an outdoor music festival. When her younger friend and coworker Miranda (a terrific Sarah Solemani) invites her to a weekend getaway, Bridget arrives at the airport looking like a Nancy Meyers leading lady in cream and white. She’s also fitter (and quite happy about it) and has gotten a fancier wardrobe befitting of her success. She’s now a high-profile TV news producer who seems happy at work. It’s a case of “whatever,” not “woe is me.” Her friends all flaked on her and so she has a night by herself. Sure, she might be eating dessert alone in that same old London flat on that same old couch listening to the same old Celine Dion song, but it’s not tragic. Now, years later, Bridget is in her 40s and Mark Darcy has gone off and married someone else.
BRIDGET JONES DIARY EDGE OF REASON CAST MOVIE
The new movie essentially has to press reboot on the happy ending of “Edge of Reason,” which found Bridget saying at the end how even at age 33 she was able to find love and happiness with one Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Sharon Maguire, who directed 2001’s practically perfect “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” the first film in the series, is back behind the camera, working from a script by author Helen Fielding, Emma Thompson (very funny as an unamused doctor) and Dan Mazer.
BRIDGET JONES DIARY EDGE OF REASON CAST SERIES
It turns out a lengthy break is just what this series needed to find its footing after the manic missteps of 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” which fell into some of the common traps of sequels looking to up the stakes.
