Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason (Widescreen Edition) (2004)
Great to see the familiar faces, but a serious let-down.
I loved the first film, Bridget Jones' Diary. It was witty, funny, clever, realistic, and touching. The sequal, however, was the opposite.
The film begins nearly right where the first left off, which was a plus, for so many of us were curious to see where the romance of the heroine, Bridget, and her new beax, Mark Darcy, would lead. It quickly loses steam and SENSE from then on. Why? Gone are the "insightful" reflections of Bridget that lead us to care about her in the film. In its place are a few ill-matched diary-esque insights amidst a series of odd (a Thai prison, are you kidding me?) situations or the stereotypical social scene (Mark's lawyer's ball). In an effort to make us laugh, Bridget is thrown out of plane, a ski lift, and is subjected to drugs, water puddles, and hair and make-up mishaps. Also missing was the clever infiltration of Bridget's parents (they have a very minor role this time) who really livened up the first film. What could have been a satisfying final chapter wound up being a big dissapointment.
