Bridget Jones: Loca por él

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy delivers exactly what fans expect-heartfelt emotion, slapstick comedy, and romantic fantasy-while offering just enough fresh twists to keep things engaging. Picking up four years after Mark Darcy's death, the film follows Bridget as she navigates modern dating, leading to plenty of hilarious and endearing mishaps.

Director Michael Morris enhances the storytelling with immersive visuals, particularly in a standout single-shot sequence that captures Bridget's chaotic yet lovable world. The humor shines in classic Bridget fashion, from an awkward school interview to a laugh-out-loud tree rescue scene. Renée Zellweger effortlessly reprises her role, supported by a stellar cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall. Though some jokes about technology feel a bit dated, the film's emotional depth-especially in Bridget's journey of self-reinvention-keeps it grounded.

With a nostalgic yet refreshing energy, Mad About the Boy is a charming return to Bridget's world, reminding us that love and laughter only get better with age.

I didn't think I would love this movie as much as I did. I laughed, I cried and the nostalgic factor was chefs kiss! I love that it dealt with real life issues like grief, single motherhood and feeling like you are always failing at life. I also enjoyed the nostalgic factor. I feel like for not being in theaters, this was a wonderful movie with a beautiful soundtrack and amazing actors! Although this movie dealt with serious topics, there was also some very cute comedic relief sprinkled in. You won't regret the watch if you loved the Bridget Jones Diaries movies. I would absolutely recommend it!

I expected belly-laughs and quick wit from my dearest Renee Zellweger but the story fell flat quickly, just something that disappointed me after 22 minutes into the film. Plot had no real humour, no smile moments, and to me, just plain boring and dry.

A major disappointment. Was hoping for something out of the usual triad of films from the Bridget Jones past, but this lacked a real storyline and was very hard to follow. I wish I had a better review here, but my mind just can't find anything funny about this

I still love my Renee though, and I know she will come up with a better comedy soon! At least I hope so at least...

After being so excited for this I was more than pleasantly surprised. Everything worked for me. It was also bittersweet in that Bridget's Mark Darcy is gone now and Bridget is a widow with young children. It's been 4 years and all her besties from the other films are cheering her on to meet a man-any man-for at least a one night stand. Bridget does meet a much younger man and begins an affair with him. She also meets her son's science teacher who uses a whistle to round up all the kids before school starts. It was very Sound of Music captain seeming. But what I loved most was Hugh Grant's character coming back to be a surrogate big brother/uncle to her children. He's still a womanizer even though he's a lot older than Bridget. My one problem was Bridget's hair. Before it was over, I wanted to comb her hair myself. It was a real mess. But I loved the whole thing anyway and I highly recommend it!

"Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" is a beautiful, heartfelt return to the world of Bridget Jones, bringing both nostalgia and a fresh, deeply emotional perspective. This time, we meet Bridget as a widow and single mother, trying to navigate a new chapter of her life while raising her children. The film delicately explores grief, resilience, and the messy, sometimes hilarious reality of starting over. While it still has the humor and charm we love, there's an added depth that makes this story feel more mature and profoundly moving.

Renée Zellweger shines once again, effortlessly embodying Bridget's warmth, wit, and vulnerability. Her performance is both endearing and authentic, making us laugh one moment and tear up the next. The film perfectly balances lighthearted moments with genuine emotion, reminding us why Bridget has always felt so real and relatable. Whether you've been a fan since the beginning or are just meeting her now, "Mad About the Boy" is a touching, uplifting addition to the series - one that stays with you.
