Surprisingly incoherent and boring

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's soon after the first movie. Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is now dating Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). She is insecure and jealous of his co-worker Rebecca (Jacinda Barrett). Egged on by her friends and enemy, she breaks up with him. Then she's forced to work on Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant)'s show and goes to Thailand. Bridget Jones goes to Thailand and gets imprisoned for trafficking drugs. Hilarious?It's a lot of self destructive behavior from Bridget Jones. It's the worst of TV sitcom writing. If only the characters would just talk to each other, the misunderstands would all go away. It is bad for a big screen movie. It would probably work better as a TV sitcom. Then she gets thrown into a Thai prison. Colin Firth plays his character with a little too much anger. Zellweger does a lot of fat jokes. Hugh Grant is actually a breath of fresh air delivering some lighter moments. In the end, there is nothing here worth your time.

A comedy that is an exact retread of the original. I don't like movies that backtrack. Here we have Bridget Jones suddenly doubting Darcy's fidelity. This leads to misunderstandings, where she is soon, once again, torn between Darcy and Cleaver. The film redoes the same jokes, with funny Christmas sweaters, and another Firth and Grant fight. These are also the funniest moments. At some point the film goes off the rails in such a confusing fashion. Jones ends up arrested because of drug possession and she winds up in a Thai prison. This sounds like some depressing drama, but it's OK, because she teaches the inmates how to have fun with a song and dance number and she also gives them chocolate. If a movie makes a Thai prison look good, I'm pretty sure it fails overall. It also has a climax where they play 3 songs back to back, I assume to sell that ever important soundtrack. A guaranteed hit on Mother's Day I bet.

Bridget Jones's charm that we all fell in love with, in the first movie, has been lost in this disappointing sequel. Watching this felt like watching the original movie with the same plot and the same characters, only done very, very poorly. Bridget gets into many awkward situations, yes. She falls and always embarrasses herself in front of crowds. Yes, we got that. I don't think this sequel was necessary to remind us of those facts.And what the hell was up with that lesbian kiss? I'm not homophobic (I support the LGBT community and I actually liked Tom), but that part didn't just fit in with everything else. I'm not sure if they adapted that from the book or if the director just added that scene on a whim, but it just didn't work. There are many ways to end a book and/or movie with suspected adultery. You could either make the alleged mistress be just a good friend/relative OR you could make her be a rival who'll be crushed in the end, when the main guy says he only loves the main girl. But a lesbian turn of events? Well.. It's different, I'll give you that.But the movie wasn't all bad, I suppose. I liked seeing Mark as a gentleman and excellent boyfriend. The starting was also good, with their matching sweaters (old joke). The part in the drugstore where Bridget tries to explain that she wanted to buy a pregnancy test was also funny. But the part that I remember the most was when Daniel asked Bridget if Mark really says, "I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to come." when they're doing it. That's basically all the good parts that I remember, aside from the ending.Towards the end of the movie, I realized what Bridget resembled. She was like a child. A child with no knowledge of anything whatsoever. Instead of that funny and charming girl that we were introduced to, the woman in this movie, was actually quite annoying.I downloaded this movie, expecting to see a film that levels with the original movie, but I was disappointed. If you're thinking of watching this, don't. You're better off watching the first movie and leaving it at that.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is an entertaining film no doubt. But is it as good as the original? Hell no. I had a few problems with The edge of Reason. Problem #1: Bridget(Renee Zellweger) had lost her brain or something. She gained a ton of weight and was kind of stupid the entire movie. I liked her in the second one but not as much...she lost her mind. Problem #2: THis film wasn't as romantic as the first film. THe first film ended on a good note. This one had a good ending but it lacked the romance a bit.That's all of the problems I had with it. Bridget Jones returns once again. She is happily dating Mark Darcy(Colin Firth). Everything is going well until she suspects he is having an affair with Rebecca(Jacinda Barret). After that things start to seem that way. Daniel Cleever(Hugh Grant) returns in her life and says he's a changed man. She is convinced until she learns he is with a thai girl who turned out to be a thai boy, Daniel says. Bridget gets into some bad situations in the sequel. She goes to a thai prison because of cocaine and other things happen. Something else good happens again. Daniel and Mark get into their fight yet again. Bridget Jones: THe edge of reason is disappointing, but I still give it a recommendation.
