The perfect boyfriend, the perfect life... what could possibly go wrong?

Working Title Films' Bridget Jones: the edge of reason stars Oscar winner Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth all reprising the roles they originated in Bridget Jones's diary. In this follow-up to the worldwide hit, we find Bridget where we left her - blissful and besotted in the arms of gorgeous lawyer Mark Darcy (Firth). Mark is accomplished, supportive and tolerant of (nearly) all of Bridget's tiny jealousies - why wouldn't every woman in London, including Mark's new long-legged, drop-dead, "I-always-say-the-right-thing-at-all-times" intern, want to lure him away from the plumpish, opinionated, sometimes inappropriate Bridget? With the entry of the leggy threat, Bridget's pink clouds begin to turn grey as her attacks of self-doubt sorely test her relationship with Darcy. And just when it seems that the waters couldn't get any more choppy, Bridget's former boss, womanising heartthrob Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), sails into view. Ms Jones careens from embarrassing situation to romantic misunderstanding, still managing to muddle through in this continuation of the trials and tribulations of the working woman who has become the symbolic heroine of "singletons" everywhere.

Theatrical report

Bridget Jones: the edge of reason is a good chick flick but it's not up to par with the first film. That's the trouble a character with having everything they could want (gorgeous boyfriend with loads of money and breeding, great career, chocolate): Bridget is unsympathetic. Really, who is going to root for her? All she's doing is wondering about having an affair. Ho-hum. In the original diary she was discovering herself and her future boyfriends and had the dilemma of choosing between the two.

*Sighs*

Oh well, it kills a couple of hours.
