UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
swilliky Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) returned three years after her confessional diary movie to have all new adventure. This time, Bridget is already dating Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) a human rights lawyer who finds Bridget's awkwardness and penchant for embarrassing situations endearing. As Bridget maintains her hectic career as a television broadcaster jumping out of planes into pens of pig excrement, she begins to suspect that Mark has eyes on one of his coworkers.Bridget finds herself in all sorts of absurd scenarios in this second go round from embarrassing herself in front of the wealthy upper class of London and nearly winning strange trivia to being locking up in a Thailand prison and skiing in Germany. One source of her excess drama is the reappearance of Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) who has turned from publishing to running an obnoxious travel show where he just makes up stuff about distant cultures.The sequel benefits from an increased budget able to travel outside Bridget's comfort zone. The love triangle takes cues from the previous film hitting comedic notes that feel welcome if not a bit recycled. The film takes hilarious shots at the concept of "happily ever after" and explores the difficulty of keeping a happy, trusting relationship. There are large romantic gestures mixed with wardrobe malfunctions to make for plenty of silly fun. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
Desertman84 Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a romantic comedy film based on Helen Fielding's novel of the same title. It stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones together with Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver. It is the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary.The movie was directed by Beeban Kidron.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason picks up four weeks after the original film left off, with Bridget emotionally satisfied at long last with Mark Darcy, her barrister boyfriend. Stability in Bridget's life, however, quickly becomes a contradiction in terms. Though Mark is openly supportive of Bridget's numerous eccentricities,she is nonetheless threatened by Mark's young, nubile intern, not to mention irked at finding out that he is, among other less desirable qualities in her eyes, a conservative voter. Complicating issues further is the re-entrance of her ex-lover, Daniel Cleaver, whom Jones, perhaps mistakenly, thought she had finally gotten over. Before long, the situation escalates into another series of embarrassing circumstances for Bridget, who is faced once again with a crippling feeling of self- doubt and has only her diary and friends to combat it.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is predictable continuation to the Bridget Jones' story with too much slapstick and silliness.Also,many scenes aren't funny nor is the humor presented in the movie effective for laughs.Nor is it clever or interesting.Overall,it is no longer interesting as compared to the first movie.
Spikeopath Plot finds Britain's favourite big bottomed, big boobed, air head, Bridget Jones, back with more troubles of the heart, career and Thailand. It's a pale shadow of the first film, even if most of the jokes and plot structure are recycled for this cash in. Sadly this time Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent as Bridget's parents are reduced to tiny cameo performances, and even Hugh Grant's sex hungry Daniel Cleaver slots into a small time scale and serves only as a set up for some same old same old. However, even tho familiarity does breed contempt, such is the strength of the comedy involving Bridget Jones, there's still enough here to raise a chuckle or two. While Zellweger is still adorable and easy to get on side with as Miss Jones, and Firth is Firth, better than this material in his sleep, but still retaining a high watchability factor as the straight backed Mark Darcy.You wouldn't want to watch this one more than once, and really you should stick with the first film, but it's just got enough about it to hit the average mark. Only just, mind. 5/10
Malki Baby I am a big fan on the Bridget Jones films. The first and the second movie were amazing..Never a dull moment, there are definitely laugh out loud moments even watching it more then once.I nearly fell over the first time I saw the skiing segment and in the first movie Mr. Tits-pervert =) Directing and making movies its not an easy task although it may seem like it..Movies can never be like the book, so please..get over it.There is not one movie out there that is exactly like the book it portrays.I recommend this movie, there is no romantic comedy that I like better. British humor at its best, whimsical and fun all the way through. 10/10
