I was very happy about Bridget Jones returning to the screen. Unfortunately, after just 10 minutes, my excitement turned into deep disappointmentโฆ
Letโs start with the title: โBridget Jones: Mad About the Boyโ. You might expect another love story in the classic, crazy Bridget Jones style, filled with plenty of humour and funny momentsโฆhmmโฆ Instead, the movies offers you tear-jerking scenes, making you experience catharsis (without wine).
There is a brief episode involving โthe boyโ, but it is completely different from - and even the opposite of - Bridgetโs previous romantic adventures. And THAT is the biggest disappointment! Because for most of the movie, you go through deep grief with Bridget as she mourns the loss of her true love, Mark Darcy.
So, think twice before going to see โBridget Jones: The deep Griefโ.
