The sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary" finds Bridget (Renée Zellweger) working as a TV host and still dating barrister Mark (Colin Firth). But Bridget is jealous of the time Mark spends with a co-worker (Jacinda Barrett), and, despite a vacation meant to smooth things over, ends their relationship. On assignment in Thailand, she has a dalliance with her disreputable ex, Daniel (Hugh Grant), and is temporarily jailed on the false accusation of drug smuggling, before Mark comes to the rescue.

Critics Consensus

Bogged down in slapstick and silliness, Edge of Reason is a predictable continuation of the Bridget Jones story.

What I can't stand about this film is the way it talks down to its audience.

...ultimately falls right in line with its hit-and-miss predecessor...

Herald Sun (Australia)

A calamitous disappointment of a sequel. The old Bridget we all loved for her frailties, failings and feelings is gone.

Rated: 1.5/5

Behind The Lens

[T]here are a few moments of freshness in the film (and I do mean few) and thanks solely to the talents of Zellweger do we see even a glimmer of any of the offbeat charms that endeared us to Bridget in the first place.

Coulda/ahoulda been awesome but it Renee Zellweger’a portrayal of Bridget as an idiot instead of witty but insecure was the wrong way to go.

It's really disapponting. Ridículamente mal escrita desde el principio hasta el final, trataron de imitar las partes cómicas de la primera entrega y no resultó, pensaron que al colocar canciones popular llenaría los huecos argumentales, y humor desinflado, algo que he notado es que siempre en las secuelas recurren a licaciones exoticas para tratar de compensar la falta de creatividad y crean situaciones over the top para nada realistas. ( S x and the city 2) esto va para ti también, pésima secuela.

I felt like this movie underplayed some of what Mark did to upset Bridget. It also had her running back to him to apologize for getting upset over reasonable things!!! It was sad to watch honestly.

It wasn't that good I preferred the 1st one. Don't bother with this one.

I know everyone always wants to know what happens to the couple once they get together, but here it really wasn't necessary. This is not cosy and heartwarming like the first instalment, it is clunky and embarrassing. As far as I am concerned, there is only 1 Bridget Jones film.
