PERCY B @P.BADINAGE Jul 9 Didn't care for the book when it came out years ago, but can't believe the movie could be worse. Very disappointing in every respect including the fact that Rene is 57 and the Rox guy actor is 28. Seriously??? Rene looks like a woman in her 50's and Hugh Grant really looks old. So that's hard to get past, and then there's nothing of a story at all. Cringeworthy embarrassing attempt at humor actually. Fails miserably.

See more Alyssa B @RT53996105 Jul 1 I don’t ever even write reviews. But I hated this movie so much I felt compelled to. The first two are such favourites to me. The third didn’t live up, but it had some of the soul and humour still. This movie was such a departure I wondered if it were written by AI. You know the story and the ending going into it, and that wasn’t what bothered me. The parts about losing a partner were touching, but I really can’t verbalise how let down I was by the pace, the soul and the humour. I got to just after she hooked up with the young guy and I had to turn it off. Maybe it’s because I’m not her age bracket, idk. In my mind I’ll happily pretend the last two movies don’t exist.

Worthless film See more Vixo S @vixo_six Jun 9 Bridget Jones Mad About the Boy works because it accepts that Bridget can no longer be treated as the same chaotic young woman from the first films. The humor is still present, but the story shifts toward grief, maturity and the need to keep living after loss. That change makes the film feel less spontaneous than earlier entries, yet more emotionally honest. Its greatest strength is the way it allows Bridget to grow. She still carries awkwardness and uncertainty, but now her choices feel more thoughtful, especially when they affect her family. The film is not the funniest in the series, and some attempts to recover the old comic rhythm feel less fresh. Even so, its emotional weight gives it a sense of closure that feels earned. Rather than repeating youthful chaos, it offers a warmer and more mature ending for a character who has finally learned how to choose herself. See more Read all reviews
