Actually, I thought BJB was BRILLANT!
Hello everyone!
It seems as if the negative/trolling topics are overshadowing the positive reviews, so I wanted to put a short and sweet one out there!
I became a fan of Bridget from the get-go, though must admit I wasn't too impressed in the sequel (though Edge of Reason does have some moments, I thought it dumbed the series down.)
After Edge of Reason and the fact that Hugh Grant wasn't returning for Bridget Jones's Baby, my expectations were on the lower end of the spectrum (even the trailer added to my doubts.) But as a true Bridget fan, I had to support my girl.
On opening night in Londontown, the theater was sold out to giggly girlfriends, soon-to-be mums, and the occasional boyfriend brought along.
From the opening scene to the credits, we all laughed (and sometimes sighed) with each other non-stop. Somehow a skinny Bridget is just as lovable as an overweight Bridget, Mark Darcy, albeit older, is still breaktakingly handsome, and Patrick Dempsey's Jack is actually charming competition in the absence of Daniel Clever.
At moments, I even thought this might just be the best Bridget yet (though I imagine it wouldn't be so had it not been for the love and fans of the previous films.)
So, WELL DONE! I welcome a 4th film should there be one, and am completely happy and content with Bridget Jones's Baby should this complete the series.
BTW, Bridget is completely OWNING it in that last scene! Well done here!!! Ding-Dong!
