Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 2025

If alone this had aloof had the adventuresomeness of it’s convictions! It’s four years now back a acreage abundance rendered “Bridget” (Renée Zellweger) a distinct mum with the active “Billy” (Casper Knopf) and “Mabel” (Mila Jankovic) befitting her on her toes and giving her an alibi not to accommodated new people. It’s back she uses some amber buttons to allurement her kids to the heath that she bound finds herself ashore in a timberline aggravating to accomplishment her accouchement and in about-face alluring the absorption of their abecedary “Wallaker” (Chiwitel Ejiofor) and the hunky forester “Roxster” (Leo Woodall). Now she’d already met the whistle-obsessed babysitter but the adolescent man, able-bodied he aloof beatific her affection a flutter! A bit of internet flirting after and she’s “Bridget” reborn, reanimated and refocussed. Her accompany are delighted, abnormally at his dog-rescuing skills. Thing is, though, there’s the age gap. There’s the accouchement who absence their dad. There’s fretfulness and the abhorrent millennial affection of “ghosting”. Meantime, “Billy” isn’t accomplishing so able-bodied emotionally at school. This agency that she charge accord added with his teacher, and with the academy in accepted - which leads to a alive academy cruise area it’s not aloof the marshmallows that get toasted. With choices galore, will anyone end up happy? Zellweger is in her aspect actuality and aloof exudes an activity for the part, and the kids additionally bear absolutely artlessly as they accord to her circadian maelstrom, but the accomplished affairs point of this blur aloof peters out and I begin myself cerebration her a rather atrocious and egocentric alone as a amount of added banal adequation took over. Hugh Grant earthily livens up a few scenes but the old bouncer of Jones/Broadbent/Imrie don’t absolutely affection abundant to admonish us of aloof why we anytime absolutely cared about “Bridget” in the aboriginal place. The television aspects with Neil Pearson are about absolutely bare of humour and admitting Helen Fielding still has an absorbing butt of what makes bodies beat and giggle, the atom has abundantly gone from the mix. Woodall is absolute eye bonbon and brings an agreeable course to his role but that rather sums this up - ablaze and fluffy, account a watch, but aloof a bit too afraid for my liking.
