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)...
more...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.

DVD Details:

Plot:

When we last left Bridget she had finally got together with Mark Darcy and was going to live happily ever after....at least this was the plan!

As we watch the beginning of their relationship Bridget begins to be taken over by the old green eyed monster and becomes so convinced that Mark is having an affair with a beautiful long legged collegue that this and the fact she doesn't view herself as good enough for Mark leads to the inevitable detruction of the relationship.

Add into the equation that Daniel Cleaver is once again working with Bridget and the two of them get sent to Thailand to film a program together. Bridget brings along a friend on this trip and Daniel is out to bed her again. A foray with customs after planted drungs are found in her suitcase leads to Bridget being locked up in a Thai prison...only a knight in shining armour could save her now

Overall:

A hilarious feel good movie with typical Bridget blunders that any single girl can relate to. Possibly a movie to watch with girly mates rather than your boyfriend...don't want to let them into two many secrets about your single life!

There is a fight scene between Mark and Daniel which I found particularly amusing and when I saw this in the cinema it managed to get a rather american reaction from a typically English audience...no mean feat!!

Would recommend you get your girlfriends,wine and popcorn and enjoy a good girly night in with this film!
