Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Michael Ledo Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is a 43 year old news producer...spinster. She has retired her ovaries. Daniel, one of the two loves of her life, has passed on. She asks herself in Austen fashion, "Is Mr. Darcy, Mr Right?" She goes away on to a music festival (one that has Ed Sheeran). It is called a "Sodom and Gomorrah with tofu." Here she meets Jack (Patrick Dempsey) and hooks up. Later at home, her and Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) a married man, come together after 10 years of cat and mouse. As you already know, the question becomes, "whose baby is it?" The film is a romantic comedy, with Bridget loved unconditionally by two wealthy men, apparently not uncommon for 43 year old pregnant moms who don't know who is the father. The support cast was excellent and the film boasts a Joe Cocker, "Up Where We Belong" moment...sort of. We don't get to know who the father is until the very end...This was a fairly good comedy with top stars up grading what could have been an average film.Guide: F-word. Sex. Male rear nudity...and not pretty at that.

TheLittleSongbird 'Bridget Jones's Diary' was an immensely enjoyable film. It had a lot going for it, and succeeded on almost every level. It didn't cover much new ground and didn't break any conventions, but it was warm, charming, hugely funny and sometimes poignant, with a great cast. 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' was however a big step down, despite being adeptly played it lost a lot of what made 'Bridget Jones's' Diary so good.Heard a lot of different opinions on 'Bridget Jones's' Baby. Some people said that it was a return to form and a huge improvement over 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'. Others said that it was worse and had no point to it. Having seen it myself, initially worried but really wanting to like it and judge it as mindless entertainment, to me it was an improvement but not by much. Not a return to form and nowhere near as good as 'Bridget Jones's Diary'. There are things that are done better here, but there are also the same mistakes and also a few different ones.It has its good points certainly. 'Bridget Jones's Baby' looks good, being mostly attractive visually in a film that doesn't require epic sweeping cinematography or opulence while still being beautifully shot and with striking locations.Again, like the previous two films, 'Bridget Jones's' Baby' is adeptly played. Renee Zellwegger, whose Bridget is nowhere near as much a parody or the butt of the joke like in 'Edge of Reason', overdoes it in the facial expressions (on a side note, and no shallowness intended, the Botox does not help), but really attempts and succeeds at bringing out the great qualities of her acting in the previous two films, trying to bring out the funny, adorably awkward and sympathetic sides of her character when the material allows it and her accent more than game.Colin Firth is sophisticated, understated and charmingly stoic. Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent seem incapable of giving bad performances, though they did deserve more to do, while Sarah Solemani brings an enjoyable amount of sauciness. The casting highlight however is Emma Thompson, who is a hoot and is a breath of fresh air with the funniest material. On that note, there are more amusing moments here than there were in 'Edge of Reason', Thompson's material mostly but also the reason for Hugh Grant's absence and Ed Sheeran. The soundtrack is more appealing this time round with better choice of songs.For all those good things, the story is even more contrived and predictable than 'Edge of Reason', and, apart from a few good moments, too much of the writing and gags are tired, recycled and even more stale, freshness was sorely lacking here. The romantic elements are lacking in heart and warmth and, despite a subject that so many people would relate to, 'Bridget Jones's Baby' does little with the subject and offers nothing illuminating.Some of the subplots are strange and clumsily used, especially the one dealing with the punk rock, which didn't seem to fit. Patrick Dempsey is a comparatively fairly weak and mediocre at best substitute for the much missed Hugh Grant (who excelled so well at playing against type previously), having much less of his charm and charisma and instead coming off as both bland and annoying.While the songs themselves are good, the placement for some isn't, with some misplaced randomness going on. Sharon Maguire's direction is more competent here but is still uninspired, while there is some amateurish editing and obvious, cheap use of green screen.Overall, not awful but a disappointment and should have been so much better. Instead of laughing consistently, being touched or oohing and ahhing, found myself questioning 'Bridget Jones's Baby's' necessity and thinking "so what?". 5/10 Bethany Cox

stevecramer-27727 Hate this movie. How dare it steal my life, time and money.I really liked the actors but the writers and director are hacks and are squarely the blame. Sharon Maguire and Helen Fielding are horrid: truly.This pile of cellophane hit it's mark on opening week-end...its target market saw it and that was the end of that.Sorry but the British culture and language really is insufferably bad and 50 years of trying to understand British humor is a useless excise.Being a British woman's movie aside, Renée Zellweger was lovely as always and the men in the movie were simply left with little to say or do; it's a criminally bad deal for all the men characters, sorry to say. It might of helped the movie but I question that. Its very hard to come up with a worse movie to compare it with...so I gave up; I hated this movie and mad I paid money and my time to witness it.

RomanceNovelist I read the first two Bridget Jones books and found they were a lot of fun. I liked the first movie, the second was just "okay", but Bridget Jones' baby is back to form, finding Bridget a bit older, skinnier, and no less the bumbling awkward mess she always was. I enjoyed this movie for what it was, a romantic comedy that uses established or wealthy men as romantic leads. And a strong case of opposites attract. This is standard romance fare for women, and if you can't accept that, don't watch romantic comedies.I was disappointed about Daniel's fate, and then disappointed about his reversed fate at the end (but intrigued nonetheless). I dislike tricks in movies and books, as it leads me to feel like I can't trust what I see or read. There was another trick, I won't mention as it would spoil the entire movie.Overall, this was a fun, energetic, female romance fantasy with a less than PERFECT heroine which makes her all the more endearing, and Renee Zellwegger who plays our Bridget with aplomb! I've always liked her, so it was great to see her again. And of course, Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, the stoic misunderstood male lead, and his handsome less-than-honorable billionaire rival played by Patrick Dempsey.Leave your thinking cap at home, and bring your silly pants.
