Nigel Andrews Financial Times Bridget Jones is back and it's a Bridget too far. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Hollywood.com Bridget Jones's Baby delivers a feel-good romcom with just the right amount of refreshing comedy, a sprinkle of slapstick and a whole lot of quirkiness. And of course, the soundtrack is perfection. Nov 1, 2016 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Bridget Jones's Baby, ultimately, snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. Rated: 3/5 Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine While the second film was a slight disappointment, clearly inferior to its predecessor but without losing all its appeal, “Bridget Jones's Baby” manages to convey much of the charm that made us fall in love with Bridget Jones. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson For every one moment that you roll your eyes, you’ll be met with three more instances where you laugh at loud and five more where you do both. That’s all you need from a Bridget Jones film to be thoroughly entertained. Rated: 3/5 Feb 18, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a shameless carbon-copy of both Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

Mr W My personal favourite out of the (current) three movies. It makes my stomach burn with the effort of laughing from Bridget's misfortunes and the chemistry between the cast is comparable to the work of a master chemist. The extras at the glastonbury festival scene looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves, Renée Zellweger truly looked as though she was in agony during the birth scene and the presentation scene nearly made my head burst from laughing so much. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Julian S The third installment offers a warm reunion, but it’s missing the silly, stumbling Bridget and her scene-stealing crew, who have settled down and lost the playful energy that once defined them. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review r96 s 'Bridget Jones’s Baby' is a good sequel, a much better movie than the 2004 follow-up without a doubt. This one has an actual plot, for one, and is a much more rounded effort - the ending is rather cute too. Despite being the longest entry of the trilogy, this is paced well. Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth reprise well, while Patrick Dempsey is a good addition. The films merges the new characters with the old (minus one obvious absentee) positively, e.g. Sarah Solemani is one of the better supports from any of the three flicks. The musician cameo is amusing too. You have to wonder where they are going to go with 2025's 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy', kinda mad they've managed to create four of these to be honest - two (one?) would've sufficed. Still, this 2016 release is, all in all, a good one; if still narrowly shy of the original, naturally. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review matthias s **Bridget Jones’s Baby – A Predictable Yet Cozy Return** (★★★½) I’ll be honest—I *hated* this film the first time I saw it. But on a rewatch? I actually really enjoyed it. It’s classic Bridget: awkward, hilarious, and full of chaotic charm. The humor is exactly what we expect from the franchise, and seeing most of the original cast return felt like a warm hug. That said, I *did* miss Hugh Grant—Patrick Dempsey is great, but the dynamic just isn’t the same. The rivalry and over-the-top fight scene we usually get? Sadly absent. The plot? Completely predictable and ridiculously cheesy. But you know what? That’s kind of the point. It’s comforting, like a favorite rom-com you can curl up with. If you liked *The Edge of Reason*, this sits at about the same level. Not perfect, but thoroughly enjoyable. Now, with a fourth film coming in two weeks, I’m very curious to see where Bridget’s chaos takes us next! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review alan g Mama Mia without the music, plot, script, acting, etc. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review diane r A woman centered, positive comedy. So rare in this climate. Why are people so hard on a sincere, perhaps flawed film? I say good for a night’s viewing, and thumbs up for Emma Thompson’s hilarious ob-gyn. Worth watching for that performance alone. Colin Firth is great as usual. Not forgetting the wonderful Renee! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
