Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy (2025)
Country: GB/FR/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 124m
Director: Michael Morris
Cast: Renée Zellweger, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Leo Woodall, Hugh Grant
Synopsis:
Four years after the loss of their husband/father, Bridget and the children are having difficulty adjusting. Finally, under pressure from her friends and former colleagues, Bridget picks up the threads of her life again and embarks on a romance with a much younger man...
Review:
More or less obvious final(?) visitation, with Bridget's life having gone through all the classic rites of passage short of grandparenthood and approaching death. As before, the producers mine Zellweger's performance for ditziness and klutziness, almost too closely for comfort on the big screen, but there is a new vein of sentiment here, with things to say about bereavement and third age romance beneath the undercutting humour. The cameos are great fun (Thompson, in particular) and Grant makes a return in a fresh, 'old friend', guise that provides most of the laugh-out-loud moments.
