Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the book, Bridget Jones is obsessed by Colin Firth from Pride and Prejudice (1995), and even gets to meet him for an interview. This plotline is omitted from this movie, where Firth played her love interest Mark Darcy. They did, however, film the interview scene with Colin dressed in his street clothes, and Renée Zellweger in character. The scene is included in the DVD extras.
- Goofs(at around 27 mins) During the Law Council quiz, in the final and deciding round, Contemporary Culture; the final question asked by the quiz-master which will decide if Bridget's team table will win or not is "What was the name of Madonna's first UK single?". Bridget is sure the answer is 'Lucky Star' while other team members are unsure and discuss that the answer may be 'Holiday'. Bridget then confidently gives the answer as 'Lucky Star'. Bridget is told she is wrong and her opponent gives the answer "Holiday", the quiz-master confirms this is indeed correct, thereby meaning that Bridget's team loses the quiz. Madonna's first UK single was, indeed, "Holiday", released in September 1983. Madonna's first single ever is "Everybody", released in October 1982, yet not in the United Kingdom.
- Quotes

A Disappointing Sequel to a Very Good Movie
Sometimes sequels to a very good movie do not work as well, and this one unfortunately is one that does not work as well as its original. One person in our party watching this movie in fact called it "painful".
The original Bridget Jones Diary worked very well, at least in my opinion. It worked well not only because of a good story line, great casting and great acting, but the script and direction made the film also both witty and fun. In a sequel, often we are promised just part of that formula the basic story line and a similar cast. Yes, this film does have a similar story line and a similar cast, but the script and the direction fall far short of the original. Hence instead of a witty fast paced fun movie where we laugh along with Bridget Jones, we have a slow moving non-funny movie that mostly seems to laugh at Bridget Jones and not with her.
The movie seems to lack the new elements that would make a sequel like this interesting. Instead it seems to fall back and simply exaggerate some of the elements of the first movie. It is "Over the Top" as one in Britain might say. Unfortunately this exaggeration tends to make things less funny and not funnier. In the first movie businessman Hugh Grant is mostly a businessman but is occasionally selfish and occasionally sexually selfish. In the second movie he spends less time as a businessman and more time just seeming out for himself. In the first movie, Bridget sometimes has low self-confidence. In the second movie, she almost always has low self-confidence. In the second movie, the Colin Firth character seems to try to be even more nerdy than in the first movie. In the first movie Bridget is plump. In the second movie, she is plumper. Now, I could afford to lose a few pound myself, but hopefully you get the idea. The second movie exaggerates the first trying for more laughs. But on the path it loses itself and is much less witty and funny.
Now, one cannot blame the actresses and actors for this. I felt that Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant, and Colin Firth did their usual great jobs. For that reason alone, this movie may be well worth watching for you. It was because of the actresses and actors that I wished to see it. To make the movie great, however, it needed a script and direction to match.
