    Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few weeks have passed in her world. She is, as you'll remember, no longer a "singleton," having snagged stuffy but gallant Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at the end of the 2001 film. Now she's fallen deeply in love and out of her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating on her with that slim, bright young thing from the law office? Will the reappearance of dashing cad Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) further spell the end of her self-confidence when they're shoved off to Thailand together for a TV travel story? If such questions also seem pressing to you, this sequel will be fairly painless, but you shouldn't expect anything fresh. Director Beeban Kidron and her screenwriters--all four of them!--are content to sink matters into slapstick, with chunky Zellweger (who's unflatteringly photographed) the literal butt of all jokes. Though the star still has her charms, and some of Bridget's social gaffes are amusing, the film is mired in low comedy--a sequence in a Thai women's prison is more offensive than outrageous--with only Grant's rakish mischief to pull it out of the swamp. --Steve Wiecking

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent, excellent, and more excellent.......2007-06-27

    The movie arrived on time, there were no scratches, I definitely got more than my money's worth, especially since I got this at such a good low price, AND I absolutely LOVE this movie, so everything was just EXCELLENT!

    5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-06-05

    What can I say? If you liked the first one, you'll love this one! This movie exceeded my expectations. Still haven't convinced my boyfriend to watch it with me, even though it's funny as s**t.

    2 out of 5 stars "The Edge" Is Right, More Like "Way Over The Edge".......2007-04-13

    What happened? Everything that was great about the first movie went terribly wrong in this one. The first Bridget Jones film was centered on Bridget and Mark Darcy "finding" each other, sorting out their misconceptions, and ultimately falling in love. It is a modern re-telling of the core plot of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Girl meets guy at party, guy makes disparaging remark to girl, girl spends majority of film (and miniseries) disliking guy, is briefly deceived by villain (Daniel Cleaver, or in the case of P&P, Mr. Wickham), and eventually realizes guy is truly her perfect match. And to top it all off, girl and guy share passionate kiss at the end of the film (and the miniseries). Great formula, right? And then came the second movie...

    Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is supposed to depict the aftermath, or the "happily ever after" that in this case turns out not to go so "happily." Bridget and Mark Darcy have already been together for a while at the start of the film, but all of the chemistry that they had in the first film is completely gone. They seem almost estranged. Mark Darcy is just as icy as he was in the first film, only now that he's got the girl, there's no excuse for it. It just makes him seem closed off. Bridget is even more insecure than she was in the first film and gets into even more scrapes, only they don't seem as funny this time around. Instead of making her feel more secure, her relationship with Mark Darcy appears to have had the opposite effect. She comes off more as a train wreck than as a delightfully accident prone single girl. Even in their more intimate moments, they don't really seem like a couple (the ski slope scene in which Bridget realizes that she might be pregnant due to "all the weeks of uninterrupted sex they've had" begs the question, "When, exactly?"). I watched the film thinking, "How did these two get together?"

    And then there's the plot. Gone are the hilarious conversations between Bridget and her friends in the pub, and gone is the subplot involving Bridget's parents. The parents are hardly featured in this film, and the friends only sporadically. Instead, we have Shazzer, Jed, cocaine, Thailand, way too much on-screen time with Daniel Cleaver, and a beautiful young lawyer who turns out to be a lesbian in love with Bridget. Huh? It's like one of those films where they just throw everything in together and take whatever emerges from the mess. To make it even worse, the mood of the film is inconsistent. It starts off attempting to be funny, then gets very dark after Bridget is imprisoned in Thailand on drug charges. All of a sudden we've gone from comedy to drama, then back to comedy after she is released. The film is a roller coaster, and in more ways than one.

    Overall, it is simply a bad sequel, as so many other sequels have been before it. Stick to the first movie. At least you'll still have the "promise" that something great will happen.

    5 out of 5 stars could watch it over and over again.......2007-03-24

    This movie is good but would like to have the alternative scenes put in to make the movie a little darker. It would make the ending that much more sweeter.

    2 out of 5 stars Unworthy Follow-Up.......2007-03-18

    The neuroses and insecurities displayed by the Bridget Jones character were charming when she was lonely and single in the first movie. Now that she is involved in a loving relationship, these same characteristics make her seem controlling, desperate, and sad. It is much harder to like Bridget in this movie or to feel sympathy for or identify with her.

    And her one-dimensional friends from the first movie are downright annoying in this sequel. They seem to exist solely to focus their attention on Bridget, and they prove over and over again in this film that they don't even have her best interests at heart.

    If you were a fan of the first, you may want to steer clear of this one. Or at least go in with tempered expectations.

    1 out of 5 stars DVD's that don't play on Australian players.......2007-04-08

    I purchased to box sets of DVD's (both for gifts) and when I treid one of the DVD's out to make sure they were ok they did not play and the player said to "check your area". To say that I am bitterly dissappointed would be an understatement!! Not only was it a complete waste of money but also a sad reflection on Amazon for not notifying the purchaser of the requirements needed to use the product. Poor Poor Poor

    5 out of 5 stars I like it!.......2007-03-11

    My husband and I saw the film "Love Actually "on Feb.14th,we all like it.

    4 out of 5 stars Funny and Romantic.......2007-02-14

    These movies were purchased for my wife. She loves stuff like this and is a fan of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. She thought the movies were funny and romantic...definitely a woman thing! She has already watched them a couple of times.

    Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few weeks have passed in her world. She is, as you'll remember, no longer a "singleton," having snagged stuffy but gallant Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at the end of the 2001 film. Now she's fallen deeply in love and out of her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating on her with that slim, bright young thing from the law office? Will the reappearance of dashing cad Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) further spell the end of her self-confidence when they're shoved off to Thailand together for a TV travel story? If such questions also seem pressing to you, this sequel will be fairly painless, but you shouldn't expect anything fresh. Director Beeban Kidron and her screenwriters--all four of them!--are content to sink matters into slapstick, with chunky Zellweger (who's unflatteringly photographed) the literal butt of all jokes. Though the star still has her charms, and some of Bridget's social gaffes are amusing, the film is mired in low comedy--a sequence in a Thai women's prison is more offensive than outrageous--with only Grant's rakish mischief to pull it out of the swamp. --Steve Wiecking

All of a sudden we've gone from comedy to drama, then back to comedy after she is released. The film is a roller coaster, and in more ways than one.

      Overall, it is simply a bad sequel, as so many other sequels have been before it. Stick to the first movie. At least you'll still have the "promise" that something great will happen.

      5 out of 5 stars could watch it over and over again.......2007-03-24

      This movie is good but would like to have the alternative scenes put in to make the movie a little darker. It would make the ending that much more sweeter.

      2 out of 5 stars Unworthy Follow-Up.......2007-03-18

      The neuroses and insecurities displayed by the Bridget Jones character were charming when she was lonely and single in the first movie. Now that she is involved in a loving relationship, these same characteristics make her seem controlling, desperate, and sad. It is much harder to like Bridget in this movie or to feel sympathy for or identify with her.

      And her one-dimensional friends from the first movie are downright annoying in this sequel. They seem to exist solely to focus their attention on Bridget, and they prove over and over again in this film that they don't even have her best interests at heart.

      If you were a fan of the first, you may want to steer clear of this one. Or at least go in with tempered expectations.
