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.

Blu B A Classic of the franchise. What an improvement from he second one. This actually attempts and for the most part succeeds at telling an original story, expanding the characters, and ideas while maintaining the spirit of the franchise and Jone's. The main trio are great. Dempsey is the best of the the three. Zellewegger does a good job but feels more tired here and not having the same spunky energy the other two had. Everyone else isn't bad. The editing isn't bad. The whole adventureland start feels a bit out of place to start and the love triangle that follows is a bit messy. The whole thing with her Mom running for public office feels pointless also. But to it's credit in the end it does tie the mystery together well and keeps us waiting right until the very end which was suprising. It also does a good job having commentary on single moms and middle age quite well. It's pretty solid overall. They also dialed back the humor compared to the ast time but it still isn't bad and gets laughs. The plot is also much more grounded in reality. It just needed to be a bit more consistent in the first half with setting everything up but again it does tie it all up well by the end. Anyone who is a fan of the franchise, the director, any actors here, or romcoms should check this out. Also, Emma Thompson is funny here too in a small role and makes it count. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Anne M I wanted to love it, but everyone looks too old and tired. The same ‘fat’ gags are as tired as Mr Darcy’s bad hair color job. Gotta say, ‘beh’ Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Nancy B Loved this movie !!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review K G Chances are, my favourite out of the Bridget Jones franchise. It will never fail to please me with its dirty humour & a relatable protagonist to make me laugh. One shocking part was when a child swore (maybe she accidentally got taught to her by an adult she knows, similar to me). I love how realistic they could make make real life singer Ed Sheeran guest star as a singer in the festival - the OST was a boomer. There is mystery with unknowing the father of her baby (but it was thankfully what we wanted) & was amazing with the ending of Bridget & Mark finally being married & blessed with her new baby. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Stephen C LOL, a funny comedy classic in 2 hours and 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Sex References, Language and Some Nudity.
