Yeah, Bridget Jones is back, more overweight and more unpredictable than ever, this time having to cope with feelings of jealousy when she sees Rebecca-- Darcy's secretary--, who seems to be in perfect physical everything perfectly wrong, begins a toll on Bridge's self-esteem and triggers her jealousy. Other problems make things worse, including the return of Daniel Cleaver-- who appears considerably compared with the book-- and a trip to Thailand that ends hilariously in disaster.
The Edge of Reason novel was a very good book, almost as good as the original, so most people should read it first firsthand, since the film won't give it any justice. The adapted screenplay is so full of clichés that you get a bit cranky, and the jokes of the original return, which makes the film a bit repetitive. The leads are still impressive, but the new fight scene, although still funny, seems forced in order to cash in the Bridget franchise.
But the movie still has the charm of the original which guarantees quite a few laughs. The soundtrack is perfect for the film and is far from obtrusive. These and the parallels of Bridget Jones with real-life women as well its ability to connect with audiences make it better than your average date movie. Silly, to say the least, but never boring.
