Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) returned three years after her confessional diary movie to have all new adventure. This time, Bridget is already dating Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) a human rights lawyer who finds Bridget's awkwardness and penchant for embarrassing situations endearing. As Bridget maintains her hectic career as a television broadcaster jumping out of planes into pens of pig excrement, she begins to suspect that Mark has eyes on one of his coworkers.Bridget finds herself in all sorts of absurd scenarios in this second go round from embarrassing herself in front of the wealthy upper class of London and nearly winning strange trivia to being locking up in a Thailand prison and skiing in Germany. One source of her excess drama is the reappearance of Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) who has turned from publishing to running an obnoxious travel show where he just makes up stuff about distant cultures.The sequel benefits from an increased budget able to travel outside Bridget's comfort zone. The love triangle takes cues from the previous film hitting comedic notes that feel welcome if not a bit recycled. The film takes hilarious shots at the concept of "happily ever after" and explores the difficulty of keeping a happy, trusting relationship. There are large romantic gestures mixed with wardrobe malfunctions to make for plenty of silly fun. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

Bridget Jones: "It is a magic mushroom moment, isn't it?". The movie is about it's main character Bridget Jones discovers that life with her new beau, Mark Darcy, isn't everything it's cracked up to be. This is not as good as the first movie but it does have it's laughs. Renée Zellweger once again brings that caring witty character back one big screen and once again she nails it. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant did a fine job in they roles, but they fight was pure comedy gold. But one thing that slowed the movie down for me and what shocked me is actually the writing in the movie, the writing felt reused again from the first movie and the writing was the best part from the first film. And I found out the writer's for this movie was the same writer's from the first film. The movie didn't have a stronger message like this film had. Overall this movie is not as enjoyable as the first film, but it still got it's laughs.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a romantic comedy film based on Helen Fielding's novel of the same title. It stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones together with Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver. It is the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary.The movie was directed by Beeban Kidron.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason picks up four weeks after the original film left off, with Bridget emotionally satisfied at long last with Mark Darcy, her barrister boyfriend. Stability in Bridget's life, however, quickly becomes a contradiction in terms. Though Mark is openly supportive of Bridget's numerous eccentricities,she is nonetheless threatened by Mark's young, nubile intern, not to mention irked at finding out that he is, among other less desirable qualities in her eyes, a conservative voter. Complicating issues further is the re-entrance of her ex-lover, Daniel Cleaver, whom Jones, perhaps mistakenly, thought she had finally gotten over. Before long, the situation escalates into another series of embarrassing circumstances for Bridget, who is faced once again with a crippling feeling of self- doubt and has only her diary and friends to combat it.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is predictable continuation to the Bridget Jones' story with too much slapstick and silliness.Also,many scenes aren't funny nor is the humor presented in the movie effective for laughs.Nor is it clever or interesting.Overall,it is no longer interesting as compared to the first movie.

The first film has warmth, strong characters and a sense of heart. This sequel has none of these things and feels like a pointless sequel only produced to make money.It feels like a bunch of sketches strung together by a very weak plot which is worrying seeing as it is supposed to be based on a book. It has funny moments but even these feel rehashed and tired. Zellweger, Grant and Firth are all talented but even they cannot save this film from being the poor imitation of the first film.Sequels rarely work and this one is proof. It's perhaps worth watching once but certainly not worth wasting money on by the DVD. Save your money and watch the first film.
