Originally released in cinemas on October 5, 2016, Bridget Jones Baby is the third installment in the celebrated British saga featuring the awkward but endearing Bridget, played by Renée Zellweger. This Sharon Maguire film follows in the footsteps of the previous installments, Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: The Age of Reason, which won over audiences with their mix of romantic comedy and awkward situations. This time, Bridget, now in her forties, is faced with a new series of upheavals in her love life.
After a break-up with Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth), Bridget, now in her forties, leads a life that finally seems under control. More focused on her career and friends than on her love life, she savors her bachelorhood. But everything changes when she meets Jack (played by Patrick Dempsey), a charming man who seems perfectly suited to her expectations. Shortly afterwards, she crosses paths with Darcy again, rekindling old feelings. Ironically, Bridget discovers she's pregnant... but with whom? This question becomes the heart of the plot, plunging the character into situations as comical as they are touching.
Bridget Jones Baby is aimed primarily at fans of light-hearted romantic comedies, full of misunderstandings and twists and turns. Fans of the first installments of the saga will be delighted to rediscover Bridget's characteristic British humor and sentimental adventures. The film may also appeal to those who appreciate the works of Helen Fielding, the character's creator, as well as fans of modern romantic comedies such as Love at First Sight in Notting Hill and Love Actually. The originality of this third installment lies in the way it approaches late motherhood and modern relationships through the prism of humor, while retaining a certain lightness.
With Renée Zellweger brilliantly reprising her iconic role, and a stellar cast including Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey, Bridget Jones Baby is a romantic comedy that promises hilarious and moving moments. Whether you're a devotee of the saga or simply looking for a refreshing comedy, this film is a great option for a relaxing evening. Don't miss the chance to (re)discover it on Max from September 4, 2024.
