Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

The final installment of this wonderful series was a tad disappointing. Hugh grant was his flawless Daniel Cleaver but the other characters just seemed forced. The story seemed a bit compartmentalized, and the film never seemed to catch its rhythm. I just expected more From this incredible team of seasoned actors. However wonderful to see all the familiar faces, It was just a bad reminder of how quickly Life passes by. But for all the Bridget Jones fans in the world, it's a must see to say farewell to our beloved characters Who have brought Love, laughs and hope to all us romantics. Thanks for the memories!

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!

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!
