Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant

Bridget Jones is blissful and besotted in the arms of gorgeous lawyer Mark Darcy. Mark is accomplished, supportive and tolerant of (nearly) all of Bridget's tiny jealousies--why wouldn't every woman i...( read more  read more... )n London, including Mark's new long-legged, drop-dead gorgeous, "I-always-say-the-right-thing-at-all-times" intern, want to lure him away from the plumpish, opinionated, sometimes inappropriate Bridget? With the entry of the leggy threat, Bridget's pink clouds begin to turn gray as her attacks of self-doubt sorely test her relationship with Darcy. And just when it seems that the waters couldn't get any choppier, Bridget's former boss, womanizing heartthrob Daniel Cleaver, sails into view. Ms. Jones careens from embarrassing situation to romantic misunderstanding, still managing to muddle through in this continuation of the trials and tribulations of the workingwoman who has become the symbolic heroine of 'singletons' everywhere.

    Much like the first film, absolute rubbish!
  • September 5, 2009
    I loved the fight scene in the fountain!
  • May 5, 2009
    It tries too hard to be as funny, cute and acidly romantic as the first one, but it isn't. Everything feels fake, plastic, unfunny and dull and you don't give a rat's ass for Bridget or anything else on the screen. The first one was comic genius, Zellweger's performance wa...( read more)s out of this world and the screenplay was simply extraordinary from start to finish, mostly because it aimed low and became a surprise. This sequel aims too high and crashes sadly into oblivion. It's not cute anymore: Bridget becomes a psychopath staulker with serious mental issues instead of a clumsy, silly woman with a crave for attention, just as we love her.

    Second part, she gets her man, ends up in a Thai prison, loses her man, gets him back again. Fave scene - fighting in the fountain. Hilarious!

    I don't remember the first. Odds are, I'm going to forget about this one later too. It had its cute moments.
  • November 20, 2009
    As awful as the original is terrific. Full of lame, horrible, overplayed caricatures and bizarre attempts at high comedy -- one scene in the snow turns into a Looney Tunes cartoon. Awful, awful sequel, one of the worst ever.
  • November 20, 2009
    Seqüência perfeita! Parece que o primeiro filme e este são uma história só.

    Comédia romântica fora do convecional, mantém a trama interessante até o final.

    Percebi que muitas pessoas não gostaram pelas avaliações, mas imagino que não assistiram o primeiro filme. O ideal é a...( read more)ssistir um, depois, o outro.

    "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" is the title of a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.
  • November 10, 2009
    Love the movie, shows when a man loves you he will stand by you through thick and thin, if he only want to shag you or see your giant pantys beware. Excellent movie, in my collection.
  • November 6, 2009
    Like the original, only worse. Rene Zellweger's English accent needs work. She sounded like Kevin Costner in that Robin Hood movie. Worst English accent ever. You'd think they could've gotten a reknowned English actress to play this role. Hell, even Nicole Kidman would've been be...( read more)tter and she's Aussie!

Critic Reviews


November 12, 2004
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

There's a flatness in the writing, a slapdash feel to the directing and an over-reliance on what worked the first time. full review

November 12, 2004
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's the sequel to one of the best films of 2001 that quickly reveals itself as one of the big disappointments of 2004. full review

November 12, 2004
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

That this new film isn't quite so adorable as the first hardly matters, Bridgetwise, as the whole point of both movies is to allow everyone to revel in Zellweger's assumed-zaftig pantomime. full review

November 12, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a jolly movie and I smiled pretty much all the way through, but it doesn't shift into high with a solid thunk the way Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) did. full review

November 11, 2004
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Several of the movie's farcical moments feel forced and strained. full review

November 11, 2004
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Philosophers say that those who can't remember the past are doomed to repeat it. If you remember Bridget Jones's Diary fondly, spare yourself this one. full review

November 11, 2004
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Cute, cloying and catastrophically predictable. full review
