I took my mum to see Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy tonight. I was finishing high school when we saw the first one. Now I’m a mum myself. I wasn’t sure what to expect after Bridget Jones Baby because that one just didn’t work - especially with how much they changed it from the book - but I felt positive because Hugh Grant was back, and Leo Woodall has mesmerised in each show I saw him in (White Lotus, One Day, Vampire Academy). From the first scene of this movie I knew it was good. I haven’t laughed so much at a new romcom in years - both mum and I laughed, we cried and we laughed again. Lots of call backs without being too cheesy - they gave a proper tribute to all the cast, and lowered the Bridget Jones ridiculous factor to believable amounts which really helped the watchability. It was such a great film. Hugh Grant was fantastic, so was Renee and Leo and all the cast. Anyone who loved the original is sure to be really satisfied with this finale movie 🌞♥️
