Amy Amatangelo Tellyvisions Underneath pratfalls and slapstick moments is a more mature, poignant movie about moving on after the devastating loss of a loved one. Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Despite all the repeated gags and such, it’s charming—and more emotionally vulnerable than many of its counterparts. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's scrappy. It plays like a series of sketches and some of them work better than others... [but] it settles down into something which is actually about grief. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) As expected, no one doubts the ultimate romantic pairing and fortunately dalliances allow for a ridiculously appealing wet shirt scene. Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici The People's Movies Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the perfect example of how to make an excellent sequel that remains true to the original material while also innovating it for the audience who might look for a deeper reflection on these very important themes Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Zellweger brings a wonderful mix of vulnerability, wit, and self-deprecation to the role, ensuring that Bridget remains the charming and relatable character audiences adore.

Rouva K I'm surprised at how much I liked this, I think Mr Walliker had the best character. It played a bit on the classic style of Bridget Jones jokes, but didn't rely on it, it relied on a few of its tropes in a way that original viewers can feel nostalgic enough. I think Renee Zellweger's accent becomes less convincing in this one. The relationship with Daniel was great, it was delightfully accepting of his flaws and an acceptance that it wasn't meant to be, but the actors and their jokes for their scene aged very well together. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Emma C More like Mad About The Kids than Mad About The Boy. I didn’t sign up for a movie about kids. Dull, cliched & not enough Daniel Clever. Slow to start, some stories not finished & rushed at the end! Don’t think I’d be bothered to watch again. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Bruce K Same old, same people, same same same. Standard script that most rom coms follow and this isn’t any different, except this cast is getting awfully long in the tooth. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Julie C Am I the only one who found this utterly ridiculous? Characters who are pompous and one dimensional. Bridget is annoying and unlikeable. Not even worth a chuckle. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Fanny F I love everything about this movie! the cringe, the comedy, and the romance all blend perfectly. It’s easily my number one romantic comedy, and it never fails to make me laugh every time I watch it <3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Jaskirat N The original movies were “before my time” so to speak but i watched them, and loved them. this one however i found really difficult to get through, and thought was cringey. I also don’t appreciate how romanticised everything was, how she found a nanny straight away, got her job back on the same day. And turned her life around. Having baby sitters/ child care on tap to go out etc. idk it wasn’t realistic and makes women feel like they should be thriving as a single mum when the reality is, it’s really difficult. more to the storyline i just found it to be really standard, predictable and the acting was really awful Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
