The music was very 1980's, only with new artists, and I cried my eyes out to Mary J. I found myself even more "in love" with MARK Darcy, than I was with FITZWILLIAM Darcy, and Bridget Jones and her friends reminded me a lot of myself, and my friends, in the mid-1980's. Renee Zellweger is sooooo adorable, as Bridget Jones, and it's so very refreshing, to see a less-than-perfect leading lady's character end up with THE hottest, sexiest leading man's character on the planet (Colin Firth)!!Ī very nostalgic era in time, for the "over 30 and single" working girl, having a difficult time of it, in finding someone to love her, "just as she is," "wobbly bits" and all.
LOVE this sequel even more than the first movie!! They are to view, back-to-back, time and again!! I LOVE these movies!! Brilliantly rehashing this unforgettable character, the sequel is a pleasure to watch that easily matches the original.

To further complicate matters, her cute and caddish former love Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) asks her to join him on-location in Thailand for a TV shoot-another chance at romance for Bridget Jones.Zellweger makes the film completely her own, and provides some quintessential "Bridget" moments-Bridget trying to walk up a flight of stairs in heels, Bridget careening down a mountain on skis, or Bridget tripping on magic mushrooms on a Thai beach. Bridget jets off in a huff, and it appears the relationship is officially on the rocks. When Bridget finally asks Mark outright if he's having an affair with the leggy Rebecca, he refuses to answer. To top it off, Mark's gorgeous and willowy coworker Rebecca (Jacinda Barrett) seems to have a knack for showing up at just the wrong time.
When she attends an important law function as Mark's date, she manages to embarrass herself and offend his snobby colleagues. Though wildly in love with him, Bridget, a TV producer, worries off and on that Mark and his stuffy attorney crowd may not be quite her cup of tea. This installment of Bridget's journal finds her dealing with the growing pains of a new relationship with Mark Darcy, her crush from the first film (stilted but passionate Colin Firth). The incomparable Renée Zellweger (JERRY MACGUIRE, COLD MOUNTAIN) once again breathes hilarious life into the flawed heroine who sent her career soaring. It would be difficult to top the phenomenal success of BRIDGET JONES' DIARY, but the sequel certainly pulls it off.
