After four years of just surviving, Bridget Jones decides it’s time to go back to work and start dating again.
After almost 10 years, the beloved romantic comedy character Bridget Jones is back for one more outing in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
This fourth instalment is set four years after the death of Bridget’s husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Bridget now lives in a new house in Hampstead – instead of her Borough Market flat – with two young children Billy and Mabel (Casper Knopf and Mila Jankovic).
After simply getting by for four years, Bridget decides it’s time to start living life once again, so she hires a nanny (Nico Parker), returns to her work in TV producing and downloads a dating app.
Fans of the Bridget Jones series will probably be expecting another light-hearted and silly romantic comedy, but Mad About the Boy is not that. Given the subject matter, it had to be tonally very different. Bridget has matured and so the film had to evolve too.
There’s still a plenty of laughs and romance but this is more of a meaningful...
