Bridget Jones, The Edge of Reason

Okay. Here's another Bridget Jones movie. Zellweger is a cutie for sure, but this movie falls flat compared to the first. Maybe it's because the novelty is over. Colin Firth is charming as cautious but less uptight, Mr. Darcy. Hugh Grant as Daniel Clever is the same womanizing jerk. And even thought we all want to see what happens after the supposed happy ending of the first movie, this is like your best friend talking over and over about her romance and you want to slap her because you get it-- they live happily ever after, well, at least as happily as an insecure Bridget Jones can be.

I wanted more out of this movie. There were no surprises and her trip to Thailand seems as though it were a different movie altogether. I'd rather imagine how she and Mr. Mark dreamy Darcy turned out than have watched this film. The film was too contrived and tried way to hard to be funny. Much like bad dates, this was easy to walk away from.

Worth the money rating: $$
