Movie Review: Bridget Jones's Baby (NC16)
Twelve years have passed since we last saw Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) on the big screen, but she has not changed much.
Sure, she is older and she has lost some weight.
But just when she has come to accept the life of a spinster, she finds herself pregnant after two flings.
Is the baby’s daddy the handsome and romantic billionaire Jack (Patrick Dempsey) or her ex-flame, the cool and sophisticated Mr Darcy (Colin Firth)?
This is not a rom-com for everyone. It is more for those who have read the Bridget Jones’s Diary books and watched the two earlier films.
Zellweger makes a welcome return as the affectionate klutz we have come to love, and the two men are equally dreamy.
The comedy is pretty strong and the physical gags are hilarious.
It is not fantastic, but it offers a warm and fuzzy feeling, which is more than enough.
Verdict: 3/5
