Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few ... more

Bridget Jones's Diary Featuring a blowzy, winningly inept size-12 heroine, Bridget Jones's ... more
Diary is a fetching adaptation of Helen Fielding's
runaway bestseller, grittier than Ally McBeal but
sweeter than Sex and the City. The normally
sylphlike Renée Zellweger (Nurse Betty, Me,
Myself and Irene) wolfed pasta to gain poundage to
play "singleton" Bridget, a London-based publicist
who divides her free time between binge eating in
front of the TV, downing Chardonnay with her
friends, and updating the diary in which she
records her negligible weight fluctuations and
romantic misadventures of the year. Things start
off badly at Christmas when her mother tries to
set her up with seemingly standoffish lawyer Mark
Darcy (Colin Firth), whom Bridget accidentally
overhears dissing her. Instead she embarks on a
disastrous liaison with her raffish boss, Daniel
Cleaver (Hugh Grant, infinitely more likeable when
he's playing a baddie instead of his patented
tongue-tied fops). Eventually, Bridget comes to
wonder if she's let her pride prejudice her
against the surprisingly attractive Mr. Darcy. If
the plot sounds familiar, that's because
Fielding's novel was itself a retelling of Jane
Austen's Pride and Prejudice, whose romantic male
lead is also named Mr. Darcy. An extra ironic poke
in the ribs is added by the casting of Firth, who
played Austen's haughty hero in the acclaimed BBC
adaptation of Austen's novel. First-time director
Sharon Maguire directs with confident comic zest,
while Zellweger twinkles charmingly, fearlessly
baring her cellulite and pulling off a spot-on
English accent. Like Four Weddings and a Funeral
and Notting Hill (both of which were written by
this film's coscreenwriter, Richard Curtis),
Bridget Jones's stock-in-trade is a very English
self-deprecating sense of humour, a mild suspicion
of Americans (especially if they're thin and
successful), and a subtly expressed analysis of
thirtysomething fears about growing up and
becoming a "smug married." The whole is, as
Bridget would say, v. good. --Leslie Felperin

her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating

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

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.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
7:15 am Hurrah! The wilderness years are over. For four weeks and five days now have been ... more
in functional relationship with adult male thereby
proving am not love pariah as previously feared. 
So begins The Edge of Reason, Bridget Jones'
hilarious foray into the not-so-sexy realities of
relationships, the laughable legions of self-help
theories and a television career that would have
her model "tiny shorts next to a blow-up of Fergie
in gym wear". Picking up where Bridget Jones'
Diary left off, everyone's favourite singleton has
finally landed her love, Mark Darcy. However,
she's finding--among other things--that her
dreamboat is less than ideal. Aside from never
doing the washing up or foraging through the isles
at Tesco, Mark, it seems, has taken an interest in
the viperous "jellyfish" Rebecca, who has "thighs
like a baby giraffe" and a penchant for boyfriend
snatching. If that isn't enough, Richard "I'm
thinking bunny girl! I'm thinking Gladiator! I'm
thinking canvassing MP!" Finch, Bridget's smarmy,
cocaine-encrusted boss and Executive Producer of
Sit Up, wants her to be the show's clown, in
effect making her the arse of television. What's
more, a builder who has an obsession for large,
slimy fish seems to have forgotten about the hole
he knocked out in her flat, putting her entire
life on display for the neighbours. Not to mention
a mother who wants her to go to see Ms. Saigon
with a Kikuya tribesman hijacked from Kenya. Never
fear, Bridge's singleton posse--Shazzer, Jude and
Tom--are always a phone call away and armed with
bottles of Chardonnay, packs of Silk Cut, pizza
and a cornucopia of self-help literature. Whether
they're decoding acronyms in singles ads (GSOH and
WLTM? "Giant sore on head. Willy, limp, thin
mollusc."), developing the ground-breaking
"Pashima theory" or dolling out unsolicited
advice, the FOBs (friends of Bridget) make up most
of the comedy.  Although The Edge of Reason is
filled with signature B.J. manoeuvres, such as
drunken Christmas card writing and wearing an
unruly rubber girdle, it's a departure from the
original. Throughout most of its 422 pages the
plot clips at a steady rate, then, much like
Bridget's train of thought, the ending skitters,
careens and breaks off into two incoherent
tracks--one more absurd than the other. The
outcome is a metamorphosed Bridget, one more
reminiscent of a British Alley McBeal than the
personification of England's everywoman. --Rebekah
Warren

Review of Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason DVD by sunmeilan

Advantages: Hilarious, entertaining
Disadvantages: For me, Colin Firth

...of the last film, thirty-something Bridget had found her man, Mark Darcy, a human rights lawyer (in case she hasn't mentioned it) and that's where we find her at the beginning of this - still in new relationship bliss. Unfortunately, Bridget doesn't have the knack of staying trouble-free for very long, and after a disastrous dinner party and ski trip from hell, she finally comes to the conclusion that she and Mark aren't meant to be. Luckily her ...
...Dragging along best-friend Shazzer, Bridget manages (just about) to keep herself out of harm's way...until she arrives at the airport on the way back, where a holiday souvenir that Jude's new man asked Bridget to carry is found to be full of cocaine. Before she knows it, Bridget finds herself in a Thai prison. Will Daniel Cleaver be able to get her out? Or will Mark Darcy come to her rescue? Or is Bridget to languish in prison for the rest of her ... Read review

Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason is a Film that I actually saw at the Cinema when it was first released back in 2004. Having not seen its predecessor, Bridget Jones's Diary but heard many people talk about it I had assumed that it was going to be a typical "Girly" type Film. However since my Friend was desperate to see it and had no one to go with I agreed to go along with her for the company and the promise of a Pint afterwards. Like its predecessor, ...
...Zellweger plays the character of Bridget Jones, Colin Frith plays her Boyfriend, Mark Darcy and Hugh Grant re-appears as Bridget's ex Boxfriend, Daniel Cleaver. Bridget Jones is a thirty something year old, slightly, dizzy English Girl with her head so far up in the clouds that she rarely seems to be looking where she is going. To describe Bridget as clumsy would be something of an understatement and disaster and embarrassment never seem to be too ... Read review

Not again Bridget!
Review of Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason DVD by LIZKEMPO

Advantages: Good Fun!
Disadvantages: Very similar to first film!

Bridget Jones Edge of Reason 'Same Bridget, Brand New Diary' 2005, Rating 15, Running Time 1hr 43 mins approx. Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason is an entertaining film but in my mind too similar to the first film Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones was unique and funny, it was fresh and new, The Edge of Reason is a copycat of this, it uses the same gags as the first film, but as we all know it is never as funny the second time around. Although entertaining ...

Bridget Jones sequel beyond reasonable
Review of Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason DVD by MrRPriest

Advantages: British movie
Disadvantages: Poor sequel

Much-loved female icon Bridget Jones returns for more antics in the follow-up to Bridget Jones's Diary. Having finally managed to get together at the end of the first movie, Bridget & Mark Darcy find themselves struggling with love once again. Bridget's confidence levels take a knock when she becomes jealous of Mark's glamorous new assistant, while she then finds herself falling once more for the advances of sneaky Daniel Cleaver. As the movie progresses, ...
...is another adaptation of a Bridget Jones novel by Helen Fielding, with another British female director (little known Beeban Kidron), with another poptastic soundtrack. Most importantly, there is another chance to see the returning cast, who all sparkled in the original. Inevitably, Hugh Grant steals every scene that he appears in as the delightfully cruel Daniel Cleaver, although he doesn't have much chance to do that as his character's involvement ... Read review

Review of Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason DVD by xx-baby-davies-xx

Advantages: casting, humour
Disadvantages: running time adn repeated jokes from a different director.

...continues from the last one, Bridget Jones’ Diary. However after walking away in the first film with her love of her life, she finds herself in the second film already finding her relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) uncomfortable. She now believes that maybe she doesn’t belong in his world, as she has to cope with his new boss, the worst vacation of her life, and discovering that he is a Conservative voter. Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) ...
...scene to try and win Bridget back. If you watched the first film and thought they were going to live happily ever after! You were completely wrong. The film is completely fantastic, and I would advise every girl to watch this and you can relate to everything about Bridget. The films has a lot of very mad moments like eating magic mushrooms and locked away in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Will Mark Darcy save the day? Or will she fall in love ... Read review

DVD Description

It would be difficult to top the phenomenal success of BRIDGET JONES' DIARY, but the sequel certainly pulls it off. The incomparable Renee Zellweger (JERRY MACGUIRE, COLD MOUNTAIN) once again breathes hilarious life into the flawed heroine who sent her career soaring. This instalment of Bridget's journal finds her dealing with the growing pains of a new relationship with Mark Darcy, her crush from the first film (stilted but passionate Colin Firth). Though wildly in love with him, Bridget, a TV producer, worries off and on that Mark and his stuffy attorney crowd may not be quite her cup of tea. When she attends an important law function as Mark's date, she manages to embarrass herself and offend his snobby colleagues. To top it off, Mark's gorgeous and willowy co-worker Rebecca (Jacinda Barrett) seems to have a knack for showing up at just the wrong time. When Bridget finally asks Mark outright if he's having an affair with the leggy Rebecca, he refuses to answer. Bridget jets off in a huff, and it appears the relationship is officially on the rocks. To further complicate matters, her cute and caddish former love Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) asks her to join him on-location in Thailand for a TV shoot--another chance at romance for Bridget Jones. Zellweger makes the film completely her own, and provides some quintessential 'Bridget' moments--Bridget trying to walk up a flight of stairs in heels, Bridget careening down a mountain on skis, or Bridget tripping on magic mushrooms on a Thai beach. Brilliantly rehashing this unforgettable character, the sequel is a pleasure to watch that easily matches the original.
