Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason Reviews
It makes the mistake that so many other sequels have made over the years: it tries to be like its predecessor and fails. I don’t consider this a BAD movie, but it never quite gets as romantic or comedic as the first film. [Full review in Spanish].

...ultimately falls right in line with its hit-and-miss predecessor...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 16, 2022
A calamitous disappointment of a sequel. The old Bridget we all loved for her frailties, failings and feelings is gone.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 4, 2020
[T]here are a few moments of freshness in the film (and I do mean few) and thanks solely to the talents of Zellweger do we see even a glimmer of any of the offbeat charms that endeared us to Bridget in the first place.

The new Bridget is bigger, brasher, and nowhere near the kind of thirtysomething girl we singletons and former singletons can relate to.

What I can't stand about this film is the way it talks down to its audience.

This film is so appalling that I don't quite know where to begin.

Repeat of first film lacks charm. Not for kids.

There's a big empty space where the heart of this movie should be.

Frankly, I feel like a lot of the intangible 'heart' of the first movie is replaced here with an ongoing conversation about sex.

An over the top, ham-fisted replay of the original.
| Original Score: D | Apr 13, 2005
Director Beeban Kidron spends most of her time re-working the original movie's formulas.

Es casi imposible negar que se quedó muy por debajo de las expectativas.
