Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy Has Finally Dropped – Is It Really Worth-Watching?
The most charming journalist in movie history is back.
On February 13, Peacock premiered Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. This is the fourth part of the famous franchise about the charming Londoner played by Renee Zellweger.
In this new chapter, Bridget experiences the death of a loved one, tries to be a good mother, and starts dating again.
What Is Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy About?
Bridget is now a widow with two children. Mark Darcy died four years ago while on a humanitarian mission in Sudan. Friends worry about their friend, who rarely leaves the house.
After another round of questioning from friends about her personal life, Bridget decides it is time to return to work and start dating again. The woman starts communicating with a guy named Roxster, with whom she has a dizzying and sweet romance.
There's Another Love Triangle But No Chemistry
Bridget Jones would not be Bridget Jones if she did not find herself in yet another love triangle. At first, the Englishwoman was torn between Daniel and Mark, later the woman could not figure out who was the father of her future child – Mark or her new acquaintance Jack.
Now two men appear in her life at the same time: the young man Roxster and the teacher. Perhaps the main complaint about the fourth part is the weak dramaturgy.
The romantic lines are not fascinating and leave much to be desired, and there is no chemistry between Renee Zellweger and the men. The only consolation for the fans is Hugh Grant's character, who has not made Bridget's heart beat faster for a long time.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy Is Still that Cozy and Funny Romcom We All Love
It's no surprise that Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is being released on Valentine's Day. The series of films about the journalist is truly festive content that you want to watch on Christmas, Valentine's Day, and even birthdays.
You can criticize the sequels to the romcoms of the golden age of the 2000s as much as you want: it seems that the authors themselves understand that they will never be able to surpass the cult of the first part.
But another movie about Miss Jones' attempts to spit on society's opinion and accept herself is a small gift to devoted fans. After all, no matter how many years pass, Bridget remains one of the most beloved heroines in cinema.
