Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (15) 103 mins"Same Bridget. Brand new diary."
Picking up four weeks after the first Jones instalment left off, director Beeban Kidron follows Bridget (Renee Zellweger) through the pitfalls of her new relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and the subsequent re-emergence of love rat Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). Bridget depends as before on the wisdom of three friends whose advice is infallibly dangerous. They are Shazzer (Sally Phillips), Tom (James Callis) and Jude (Shirley Henderson), and they support her when she and Mark have a completely unreasonable fight. Bridget flies off to Thailand on assignment and manages to get jailed on drug-smuggling charges. Bridget of course is not a drug smuggler, but being Bridget she did the one thing no tourist should ever do, and that is to carry in her luggage a souvenir given to her girl friend by a guy. But Bridget has pluck. In no time at all, she's traded her pink bra for cigarettes, organized her prison inmates into a Madonna class, and they're rehearsing "Like a Virgin." Long may she squint and bravely smile and keep tugging her neckline up and believe in love.
"Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a jolly movie and I smiled pretty much all the way through" Roger Ebert
