The Bridget Jones saga returns to the silver screen with Bridget Jones: Mad About Him, a new romantic comedy that promises to plunge fans back into the hilarious and touching misadventures of the unforgettable British spinster. Directed by Michael Morris and scripted by Helen Fielding, Abi Morgan and Dan Mazer, this new opus follows a more mature Bridget, now in her fifties, as she navigates her responsibilities as a mother and her search for love after the death of her husband, Mark Darcy. Returning to its piquant humor and outrageous situations, this film is a return to its roots that will appeal to long-time fans, while tackling themes of adulthood and second chances.
Bridget Jones : Folle de lui will be released on February 12, 2025.
Synopsis: Bridget Jones is fifty years old, and after the death of her husband, she's back on the dating scene.
At the age of fifty-two, Bridget Jones is the mother of two children and faces the mourning of her husband, Mark Darcy, with whom she shared ten years of happiness. After this shock, she decides to return to the dating world, ready to explore new horizons in love despite the challenges this entails. Her return to the bachelor market is as unpredictable as her previous adventures, oscillating between embarrassing situations, biting humor and the search for the "right" partner. Between new encounters and adventures, Bridget remains the goofy, endearing heroine who enters her fifties with the same outspokenness and awkwardness that have made her such a success.
Bridget Jones : Folle de lui (Mad About Him) is aimed primarily at die-hard fans, as well as fans of romantic comedies who appreciate tales of second chances and self-deprecation. This new installment could be of particular interest to mature viewers, who will rediscover a Bridget who, like them, evolves with the times. The presence of Renée Zellweger as Bridget, surrounded by familiar figures such as Hugh Grant as well as new faces like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall, ensures a mix of authenticity and novelty. Fans of recent romantic comedies such as The Holiday and Love Actually should enjoy this long-awaited return, while younger viewers will discover a more mature, but still delightfully flawed Bridget.
This fourth opus, Bridget Jones: Mad About Him, promises to bring the saga to a fitting close with a touching and funny romantic comedy that lightly tackles the themes of grief, middle age and the quest for new love. The film promises to be a must-see for fans of Bridget, who returns to the big screen one last time for adventures as tumultuous as they are endearing.
