... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MorePeople who think 'use-by-dates' on condoms don't mean anything are why we have a population problem!In the past, it was easy enough to cheer for Bridget, because she was positioned as the 'plucky underdog' - but I don't ever remember her being as dumb as in her first visit to the doctor's office... If you're 43 and you don't understand the finer points of conception (or how foetal alcohol syndrome works, for that matter), you're less of an underdog, and more of a simpleton! No wonder the biggest comedic weapon that Emma Thompson employs here is to roll her eyes... she's mirroring what the reaction of every right-thinking audience member should be.It's strange when Richard Curtis writes Bridget better for the screen than her own creator does!Having said all of this in criticism, if you treasure Bridget Jones as a character, then I don't think any of this will bother you. She has to work harder to win my sympathy, though, and this time - in contrast to the previous two films - she didn't get much of it.
... View MoreThe first time, it was cute.The 2nd time, not so cute. This time, a disaster.Leave Well Enough Alone!Whoever cast Patrick Dempsey is just plain stupid! He fits this movie like two left shoes And Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent-good grief don't these people ever just go away?As for Mr. Firth, he has just one expression-VSO (Very Seriously Old)
... View MoreI've had a rough few days and wanted mindless entertainment. This movie was cute, entertaining AND predictable. I have always enjoyed the 'Bridget' movies. There were NO surprises. And that was just fine. I feel like, if I had gone to the theater to see this and been disappointed it would have been my own fault because this movie was very similar to earlier movies. I wasn't sure who to route for - American Jack or Mark Darcy. I thought either would have made a good dad. I think Renee (as Bridget) looks better as she has aged (Thank you LORD - often men age well in movies and women don't by design it seems like!). In one review the writer was appalled that they didn't make Bridget have amnio. Let me just put a plug out there for the opposite point of view! They offered it to her, told her the risks and she didn't do it! I didn't either! This is a matter of personal preference. There is a risk with this procedure! All in all, an enjoyable movie!
... View MoreI thought the first Bridget Jones movie was cute enough (barely) and expected pretty much this issue to be along the same lines but quickly found it to be unnecessarily vulgar and profane. I'm fine with the use of 4-letter words when they're motivated by the character and/or plot, however, the foul language in BJB is gratuitous, ridiculous, and distracting. And I haven't even gotten to the plot or acting yet! BJB is supposed to be a comedy but I didn't chuckle during the whole film. Renee Zellweger needs the right vehicle to display her talents and I don't think the BJ movies do her that service. Her co-stars are more than capable to carry the movie, assuming they are served with a reasonable story. Also, I think BJB story line misses Hugh Grant's character and the way the writers made his convenient death at the beginning of the movie is a little silly and contrived. All-in-all, BJB was a disappointment and it didn't need to be.
