Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

Pros: Zellweger, Grant, Firth, Barrett
Cons: The same story as Bridget Jones's Diary

Will Bridget Jones live happily ever after with just one man? With Bridget, no man can know for sure. Renee Zellweger returns as the perpetually worried woman in "Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason." We catch up to Bridget as she starts a new year with a ...

Pros: Colin Firth of course, Renée Zellweger, returning cast, soundtrack and the Lonely London scene.
Cons: It does get ridiculous in spots, but it's better than the book by Fielding.

It's not very often that I get the pleasant surprise that the film adaptation of a novel is much more pleasant to watch than the book version. Such was the case with the sequel to 2001's Bridget Jones' Diary. This time, the story picks right up ...

Pros: One or two funny bits...
Cons: ... the rest is derivative and / or unfunny...

Though subtlety and good taste were hardly things that you could accuse the first Bridget Jones' Diary of, it managed to be very funny quite a few times, and had characters you could care about or sympathise with to some extent. This sequel, ...

Pros: All the original cast is back
Cons: Not that funny, lacks heart

I loved the first Bridget Jones movie and it got all kinds of great ratings from critics and fans alike. When the initial reviews for this sequel came out, they were pretty unforgiving. I did not have too high hopes going into Bridget Jones: The Edge ...

Pros: Hugh Grant makes me swoon; BJ is funny and charming at times
Cons: plot, soundtrack, characters, screenplay, message

A lot of women are fond of Bridget Jones, a character created by British novelist Helen Fielding, because they feel that they "identify with her." They, too, worry about their weight, obsess over men, read self-help books religiously, and make clumsy ...

Pros: sweet, good camera work, some funny stuff
Cons: sequelitis, predictability, TV-style telegraphing of jokes and plot points

I avoided this film when it hit theaters because it looked like a typical sequel. I didn't like the title. I didn't like the trailers. I didn't like the early reviews. I guess I wasn't alone. Here, in America, the film - which cost $40 million - ...

Pros: The lead performers; A few fun moments
Cons: Soundtrack isn't mixed well; Not that funny

What does the average woman do when she is falling for one man while trying to forget another man that she once had a relationship with and still runs into from time to time? The situation sounds simple, but it is anything but easy for the main character ...

Pros: Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in a catfight. Knee-slappin' funny moments.
Cons: The story was too stretched and forced.

I've been widely anticipating (with great eagerness) this second coming of one of my favorite movies: Bridget Jones' Diary. I had read the second book and had found it quite amusing (ok, hilarious), so I jumped at the opportunity to go see an advanced ...

Pros: Renee Zellweger and to a lesser extent, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. Cinematography
Cons: none really unless you count the annoying British accents

Anyone who knows me knows that I take a glass half full attitude about movies.. If there is any thing good to report about it, I will find it. After all, how else can I justify the hours it takes me to watch it, see all the extras on the DVD, look up all ...

Pros: Hopefully after this they’ll never get funding to make ‘Bridget Jones 3: Beyond all hope’
Cons: How not to make a sequel. Poor script, weak plot, thin characters (except our Bridget…)

‘Bridget’s back.. bigger, better, funnier’. Well, that’s what the trailers promised us. And I’d agree in part. The namely ‘bigger’ part. As we join our love struck heroine she is still more or less where ...

Pros: great cast, funny in some parts
Cons: may not like it if did not like the first film

After seeing the first Bridget Jones movie and reading both books, I finally picked up a copy of the sequel Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the first movie and really expected no less from this ...

Pros: Bridget Jones is back!!!
Cons: She seems lost in a movie that lacks it own sense of purpose.

For someone who doesn't actually exist, Bridget Jones is one of my all-time favorite people. When she was first introduced in Helen Fielding's smash hit bestseller and its subsequent (and inevitable) film adaptation Bridget Jones' Diary, I was ...

Pros: Rene and a good supporting cast.
Cons: Not as charming as the first and starts to wear thin after a while.

When viewers last saw Bridget Jones, (Rene Zellweger), she was in the arms of her lover, Mark (Firth), happy at last as it looks like she was finally going to be lucky in love and keep her Prince Charming. In the follow up to the smash “Bridget ...

Pros: Colin Firth: Once again a great performance.
Cons: A little redundant from the first.

Bridget Jones, as we have all learned from watching the two movies with her name as the title, is a very clever girl. Just how clever she really is in the eye and mind set of the person watching , or in some cases, reading her story. If you enter into ...

Pros: great music, wonderful scenery, prison scenes.
Cons: shallow, little plot, really hard to look at Rene.

There is no remote reason why Hugh Grant's horrid character would want Bridget Jones - not one reason at all. He must have needed a paycheck! It is so contrived that she ends up with him at all - never mind prior to being tossed into a Thai prison; ...
