bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3 surprisingly better than expected. a drama. worth a look See more El S @RT43856032 Jul 11 Why is Bridget even considered fat? She is the most normal looking woman I’ve ever seen. AND AGAIN she’s going back and forth between these two dumb men. See more Vixo S @vixo_six Jun 9 Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason works as a sequel that chooses familiarity over reinvention. It repeats many of the elements that made the first film effective, from the social awkwardness to the light romantic confusion, and while that limits its surprise, it also preserves its charm. The film does not offer a deeper story or take many risks, but it understands the tone it wants to sustain. Renee Zellweger remains its strongest element, carrying the humor with natural timing and making Bridget feel human even when the situations become predictable. Some comedic beats feel repetitive, yet the prison scenes bring a welcome change of energy and some of the film's funniest moments. It neither improves nor damages what came before. Instead, it continues the same formula with enough warmth and rhythm to remain pleasant, familiar and easy to enjoy.

Renée does such a lovely job with her. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Sep 1 The biggest strike here is this abandons in the middle any idea of being a sequel and expanding upon the characters or ideas and just becomes a repeat of the first one almost beat for beat repackaged even down to Grant/Firth fighting and it snowing in the end. It's a shame because I thought it would explore what it's like now that she's in a relationship and instead just sets things up for repeat. In regards to what this does well, Zellewegger is great and nails the character. It's just the material isn't as strong here. Same with Firth & Grant. It feels like this almost forgets a bit about Grant's character also. The editing and pacing is alright nd everythign else is half decent. Everythign follows a logical flow and makes sense. This isn't jumpy at all but...man the turns the story takes. It becomes like a bad Romcom or a Sex in the City movie kind of. This also leans a bit too much into it being slapstick comedy at times also like the whole ski bit. Don't get me wrong the humor is good honestly and nails the Jone's humor but it just gets in the way of being clever. The movie really started to lose me with the whole Asian prison and just felt like it was so out of place and the events that followed were just written poorly, lazy, and just an excuse to repeat the first. Leaning too much into slapstick, taking bizarre/stupid turns with the plot, and abandoning any expansion ofor repeating the first at it's core are the biggest issues here. Skip it. Comes close to being bad but just limps across on the momentum it starts out with in the first half. See more K G @KatyG-S 06/06/2025 Bridget Jones has returned with a sequel yet again being funny. This movie has more adventure, more storyline when Daniel Ceaser returning, sending her abroad & getting held in captive. We are also getting progression because we meet somebodys girlfriend is lesbian (or I might add bisexuality) in it - representing LGBTQ+ I also loved the soundtrack with songs such as "Crazy in Love" when Bridget is going to have to say a big thing to Matt. The ending was twisty but great with the question getting popped but they are attending Bridgets Jones parents renewing their vowels. We'll I cannot wait until its Mr & Mrs Darcy. However, I do prefer it's predecessor. See more Read all reviews
