Watch Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Instant Favorite.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Bridget Jones:The Edge Of Reason is a 2004 romantic comedy starring Renee Zellweger,Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and is the sequel to the 2001 flick Bridget Jones Diary. The story is about Bridget who is still in love with Mark Darcy while her ex lover wants her back apparently. Of course Bridget gets jealous of Mark because he is hanging out with a much younger woman who Bridget thinks is dating Mark and things take a turn after that. Bridget goes to Thailand with Daniel to do some news about the place,and she winds up in jail and you will be still laughing once you find out what happens next.Overall I enjoyed this one. Honestly I thought the 3rd one was funnier but this one was good too. Renee was hilarious as Bridget her British accent is spot on and her charcther is the kind of charcther every woman can be. She's quirky,love sick,goofy,envious etc. If you are a fan of the first movie then check it out. I purchased this on Blu Ray for the Xmas and I was glad I picked it up at a good price.

Bidget was cute, witty, and not exactly fat in the first movie. Here, she is a complete moron with terrible hair and far too many extra pounds. Bridget's character in this sequel is not at all the same Bridget we knew from the first movie; here she is ugly (and you can see that the ugliness is deliberate, not natural) and very, very, very dumb.It was not AT ALL believable that Mark Darcy (an attractive, charismatic, successful man) is madly in love with her. Let alone Daniel Cleaver (the womanizer, who has girls that look like models chasing him). I mean... look at her! O.K., Mark Darcy - very unlikely, but not impossible. Daniel Cleaver - out of the question! The scenes where Bridget embarrasses herself are REALLY overdone and unrealistic. Hair ironing? Blusher all over the face? Please! She is CONSTANTLY falling down or spilling/dropping something, or embarrassing herself in some other way. Let me say it again: it's CONSTANT. It's so unconvincing and overdone that it actually gets quite annoying very early into the movie.They were clearly going for slapstick humour, but there's hardly a funny moment ANYWHERE in the film. It can't be considered a RomCom as there is no comedy; and as a stand-alone drama -- it's just too dumb and unrealistic. The most awkward scene in the movie was the lesbian kiss. It was so unnatural and embarrassing. Plus, it was totally out of place. It's clear as hell that the supposed lesbian is NOT a lesbian at all, and she, most definitely, does not fancy Bridget. It was just way TOO obvious.The prison experience... I can imagine that a lot of Taiwanese women must've gotten very offended by it. They are portrayed in this movie as retarded, EXTREMELY dumb crack-whores with no common sense whatsoever.Hugh Grant is, as usual, very good. Well, as good as it was possible for him to be -- given the rubbish script he had to work with. Colin Firth, on the other hand, is clearly embarrassed by being in this movie -- you can tell that he's not really "in it". Zero chemistry between him and Bridget. Well, it's watchable, but much less enjoyable than the original.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a romantic comedy film based on Helen Fielding's novel of the same title. It stars Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones together with Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver. It is the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary.The movie was directed by Beeban Kidron.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason picks up four weeks after the original film left off, with Bridget emotionally satisfied at long last with Mark Darcy, her barrister boyfriend. Stability in Bridget's life, however, quickly becomes a contradiction in terms. Though Mark is openly supportive of Bridget's numerous eccentricities,she is nonetheless threatened by Mark's young, nubile intern, not to mention irked at finding out that he is, among other less desirable qualities in her eyes, a conservative voter. Complicating issues further is the re-entrance of her ex-lover, Daniel Cleaver, whom Jones, perhaps mistakenly, thought she had finally gotten over. Before long, the situation escalates into another series of embarrassing circumstances for Bridget, who is faced once again with a crippling feeling of self- doubt and has only her diary and friends to combat it.Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is predictable continuation to the Bridget Jones' story with too much slapstick and silliness.Also,many scenes aren't funny nor is the humor presented in the movie effective for laughs.Nor is it clever or interesting.Overall,it is no longer interesting as compared to the first movie.

The first film has warmth, strong characters and a sense of heart. This sequel has none of these things and feels like a pointless sequel only produced to make money.It feels like a bunch of sketches strung together by a very weak plot which is worrying seeing as it is supposed to be based on a book. It has funny moments but even these feel rehashed and tired. Zellweger, Grant and Firth are all talented but even they cannot save this film from being the poor imitation of the first film.Sequels rarely work and this one is proof. It's perhaps worth watching once but certainly not worth wasting money on by the DVD. Save your money and watch the first film.
