It highlights how silly and trivial our heroine is being, and makes the film feel silly and trivial, too.Īnd you have to feel for Firth. The battered prostitutes around her exclaim, "What your bad boyfriend do?", which puts her problems into perspective but is an unbalancing reminder of non-romantic comedy reality. The low point is surely a stopover in a Thai jail where - for reasons not worth going into - Bridget bemoans her rocky relationship with Mark. It's just a pity her performance isn't matched by any originality in the script, which recycles the first Diary's jokes and flashpoints - the fight, the silly jumpers, the big pants - to diminishing effect. The American star once again excels as the British everygirl torn between the dashing Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and dependable Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).
An amiable sequel to a popular hit, Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason coasts on the charisma of Renée Zellweger.
