Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Synopsis
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars really poor romantic comedy, 8 Feb 2007
By Stampy (England) - See all my reviews
Renée Zellweger (Chicago) reprises her role as the overweight sex wanting woman, now settling in with her boyfriend, until other influences start affecting their relationship.

This is an exceptionally poorly constructed film. Having not been a huge fan of the first one anyway I wasn't expecting much from this anyway except a few laughs, and I didn't even get that.

Most people believe the sequels are never a patch on the original but even I didn't think a sequel could be this bad.

Similar jokes, storyline, plot, setting, characters, there is simply nothing new in this romantic "comedy" one scene in particular is the carbon copy from the first (the plane filming scene)

Its flat all the way through with predictability written all over. The ending is a great definition for cliché as is the beginning and pretty much every other scene.

However there are some unpredictable scenes and I prayed they would stay at the clichés they were that bad. It was not realistic and something's would simply never happen in real life, making the film extremely hard to accept.

The ending is so bad I felt sick.

Poor throughout, the sequel to the smash hit Bridget Jones' diary fails to deliver on any level and is not worth time, effort or money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but rather predictable, 19 Jul 2006
By Greg Farefield-Rose (Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Entertaining film version of Helen Fielding's second BJ novel where Bridget (Renee Zellweger) loses the kind but emotionally repressed Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) and almost succumbs once again to the lecherous charms of the evil Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). More mishaps abound, including a stay in a Thai prison though it all turns out happily in the end.

Although Zellweger is once again excellent as the frowning, faltering but fundamentally decent Bridget, her blunders are often predictable - even to those of us who haven't read the book. Furthermore this film's story doesn't hold together as well as its predecessor, Bridget Jones' Diary. An inferior sequel but still funny, life affirming and well worth seeing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the same as the book, 2 Jan 2006
By Amanda Richards "Hotpurplekoolaid" (ECD, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
They should have quit while still ahead
Why kill the golden goose?
Though Bridget's aged a coupla weeks
She's gotten more obtuse

Not satisfied she's got her man
She tells herself he's cheating
She's paranoid and insecure
It's all so self defeating

They tossed away the storyline
Put slapstick in instead
From phony fights by leading men
To cheeks painted bright red

Hugh Grant still makes a perfect cad
We'll always love Mark Darcy
and even though the acting's good
The movie's awfully farce-y

But if you haven't read the book
And need some simple mirth
Go right ahead and rent this one
For Hugh, Rene and Firth

Amanda Richards
