Mark Darcy that she’s completely lost her sense of humor. Sure, Bridget is still the same chubby blonde with cheeks the size of giant Gobstoppers and an ass as big as two bowling balls, but now she’s so obsessed with becoming Mrs. Search just type in the title of the film, select a City and click 'go'.Although, the real problem with Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason isn’t that it suffers from an unmistakable form of déjà vu, but that it turns the character of Bridget Jones into someone the audience hardly recognizes. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites The Edge Of Reason is rather blunt.įind out more about "Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason" at It's testament to Zellweger's likeability and skill that the film is still enjoyable, but it lacks the element of surprise. It has become harder to see the attraction of Jones: the character has become something of a cartoon.
The trouble is that in the original, these faux pas were endearing. The script shows a keen sense for social embarrassment, whether Bridget is revealing intimate thoughts on speakerphone or insulting blue-blooded Tories. In contrast, Grant once again steals every scene he's in - his old school cad IS cheeky, shameless, and gleefully un-PC (never mind another Diary: how about Daniel Cleaver's Journal?). An actor whose considerable abilities were showcased in Trauma is given a character so repressed and uptight, you don't want him to get the girl.

The battered prostitutes around her exclaim, "What your bad boyfriend do?", which puts her problems into perspective but is an unbalancing reminder of non-romantic comedy reality. The low point is surely a stopover in a Thai jail where - for reasons not worth going into - Bridget bemoans her rocky relationship with Mark. It's just a pity her performance isn't matched by any originality in the script, which recycles the first Diary's jokes and flashpoints - the fight, the silly jumpers, the big pants - to diminishing effect.

An amiable sequel to a popular hit, Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason coasts on the charisma of Renée Zellweger.
