Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few weeks have passed in her world. She is, as you'll remember, no longer a "singleton," having snagged stuffy but gallant Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at the end of the 2001 film. Now she's fallen deeply in love and out of her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating on her with that slim, bright young thing from the law office? Will the reappearance of dashing cad Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) further spell the end of her self-confidence when they're shoved off to Thailand together for a TV travel story? If such questions also seem pressing to you, this sequel will be fairly painless, but you shouldn't expect anything fresh. Director Beeban Kidron and her screenwriters--all four of them!--are content to sink matters into slapstick, with chunky Zellweger (who's unflatteringly photographed) the literal butt of all jokes. Though the star still has her charms, and some of Bridget's social gaffes are amusing, the film is mired in low comedy--a sequence in a Thai women's prison is more offensive than outrageous--with only Grant's rakish mischief to pull it out of the swamp. --Steve Wiecking

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Hillarious! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Well I do love british comedy and I think you have to in order to appreciate this movie. I actually liked this much better than the original. It is very quiky and Collin Firth is excellent in it. There is not a lot of meat to the story - but that is not what the movie is about. Its all about the situations that Bridget gets into and if you go into this movie expecting some kind of award winning plot you will be dissappointed. Take it for what it is - a great situational comedy! Pair this one up with "Love, Actually" and you are in for a great night of hillarious fun!2) Bridget Jones's Diary (Collector's Edition) [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Bridget is the best person all over the world, great movie for every one who do not believe in itself. She believed so you can do it, too.3) Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Although the critics didn't rate this movie as highly as Bridget Jones's Diary, I still found it thoroughly enjoyable. But then again, I'm a fan of both Colin Firth and Renee Zellweger. I'm glad I bought it!!!4) Entertaining [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I think the first one was funnier, as with all sequels, but it did have really funny moments. It was worth the buy.5) Bridget gone wild [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Rene Zellweger packed on the pounds once again to play Bridget Jones in the sequel to her successful run in the first movie. WHile three years passed in real life until the second movie was made, it has only been a few weeks since Bridget found her happiness with Mark Darcy. She is happy as can be, with her winner of a boyfriend, and enjoying an all around happy streak in life. Soon, however, she is on shakey ground. She fears that Mark is turning his affections towards the new hot number in his law firm. Her paranoia is rising, as she sees the other woman's bright smiles and her appearences at every outing she and Mark go on. Out of the blue, Daniel Cleaver, the cad who played her, reappears in her newly aquired field of television reporting. Convinced that Mark is cheating, Bridget goes on an ill advised and irrational trip to Thailand with Daniel Cleaver for business which will inevitably turn into pleasure.It wasn't as good as the first one, as there were no big surprises. Daniel will inevitably cheat on her and be caught like in the first one. Bridget will end up in some terrible mess again (getting thrown in the Thai jail - and notice how all the cellmates speak English marginally well?). And Mark will come to her rescue once more and bail her out. Still, it was a good time, with Bridget's bumbling antics. SHe can laugh at herself, as we can all laugh at ourselves. And if you can't laugh at yourself, than you're even stupider than others think we are.
