Summary

Romantic comedy sequel starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Still mourning the tragic death of her husband, Bridget Jones starts a fresh chapter as a single mum. With the support of some old friends, including old flame Daniel Cleaver, she re-enters the world of dating, while also clashing with her son's dashing but uptight science teacher, Scott Wallaker.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

James Mottram

Renée Zellweger returns as Bridget Jones for a splendid fourth feature. Bridget is single again, but this time she is a widow, her beloved Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) having died four years ago, leaving her with two children. She reluctantly enters the world of dating apps - meeting 29-year-old horticulturalist Roxster (One Day's swoon-worthy Leo Woodall). The well-crafted script nails exactly what it's like to be middle-aged and female in the shark-infested world of online romance, and Zellweger is once again effortless in the central role. Director Michael Morris (To Leslie) smartly integrates returning characters - Hugh Grant has a riot as Bridget's ex-boss - with newbies, including Chiwetel Ejiofor's whistle-happy science teacher. This is a mature and incisive outing, beautifully shot, and blending humour and emotion into the perfect movie martini.
