Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason (Widescreen Edition) (2004)
After Happily Ever After
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary. For one, I wasn't initially a huge fan of the first, which I agree is the better of the pair, but it's since grown in intrigue for me as it presents a sympathetic although neurotic character who's trying her best to be lovable but keeps messing up.
I appreciate the commitment the filmmakers had to this character, who is almost maddeningly paranoid in this second movie, but still has charm, and is believable enough to make you root for her. Some of the earlier sequences between Darcy and Bridget are too cheesy for my taste, but I liked how they were balanced with squabbles between them as well--they seemed stupid, but so typical of many real couples.
Most of all, I thrilled to the part where I found out, along with Bridget, that Darcy had indeed done his utmost to advocate for her release from the Thai prison. I was pleased when he fought Daniel the sleazebucket, even if it was a really pathetic and silly sort of wrestling in the fountain. But knowing the love and righteous anger on behalf of Bridget that motivated him, I thought it was touching.
I liked the proposal scene, and how Bridget insisted to do-over the proposal moment that had gotten ruined. That was cute. I'm glad it didn't end with Bridget and Darcy's wedding--hopefully they'll save that for a future sequel!
