Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Despite all the repeated gags and such, it’s charming—and more emotionally vulnerable than many of its counterparts. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's scrappy. It plays like a series of sketches and some of them work better than others... [but] it settles down into something which is actually about grief. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) What you have is a mature film that captures all the ups-and-downs of life, and all the truths we can hold at the same time. Bridget can quietly sit with her pain and have fun sexy times with a younger lover. Rated: 4/5 Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Fourth installments in a franchise (especially after so much time) are rarely a good idea, but Mad About the Boy continues on the tradition of the franchise's penchant for bittersweet sentiment and joyful humour. May 14, 2025 Full Review Manuel Betancourt FilmWeek (LAist) This is the Bridget Jones we know and love and if you enjoy that then this is going to be an affable two hours of your time. May 8, 2025 Full Review Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (LAist) It's just sort of okay. If you're looking for something in that milieu, it'll work. May 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Karen F Cute but too long. Got a bit boring Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Very boring of all 4... didn't have to kill Firth in the movie Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Chris M The joke was over the last time: personally I found this pretty boring, but I appreciate that others will enjoy it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Celina I Bridget has done it again, they kept the characters true themselves while showing growth. will forever be sad we lost mr darcy, i hope we get another movie or perhaps a series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Michael S Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is undeniably sentimental and nostalgic, banking on the feelings the audience has built up for these characters over the years.  That said, the movie is very funny and surprisingly heartfelt.  With this fourth entry, the Bridget Jones comedy franchise has grown beyond its romantic comedy origins into an ongoing story that marks the passage of time.  Like Bridget, this movie occasionally wobbles but it comes out on top in the end, smiling.  Recommended. detroitcineaste Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Julia R Im not sure if I was watching a different film compared to the other reviews ... but I thought this was simply awful... cliched and purile storyline, excrutiately painful acting (though the script didn't help). Renee Zellweger with a very odd expression/pursed-lips throughout the entire film which very soon became annoying. Whereas we could do with an uplifting movie with events such as they are in the world right now... this movie only made me depressed to think how low standards have fallen.... Especially sorry to see that the (usually) fabulous Chiwetel Ejiofor and Emma Thompson loaned their talent to the endeavour but alas even they couldn't save it... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
