It's possible her age—she's turning forty-three—is to blame, or maybe it's because she recently attended the funeral of the supposedly deceased “Daniel,” who went down in a plane crash. Perhaps it stems from her mother (Gemma Jones) bringing up the subject of her biological clock, but whatever the reason, “Bridget” (Renée Zellweger) is experiencing heightened emotions when she crosses paths with the attractive American “Jack” (Patrick Dempsey). She’d intended to focus on her job, but he throws her off balance and distracts her so much that the new management decides she isn't suitable anymore. To further complicate things, she runs into her former boyfriend, “Mark,” who has recently gotten remarried (Colin Firth). Soon after, she discovers she might be pregnant, though she’s unsure of the father. "Bridget" seems different now; she is more self-assured and independent but still desires to find love—just not with whom? The film retains a sense of authenticity from Helen Fielding's initial idea, and as her character matures, becoming wiser—and larger—Zellweger has created a believable woman who it’s entirely possible (even for men) to connect with. She combines a quiet appeal with a relatable awkwardness in an enjoyable way, and Firth is dependable as always while Dempsey provides some visual interest, meaning “Bridget's” story could continue much like before. However, the absence of Hugh Grant is noticeable, along with the subtle, antagonistic humor he and she created through their journey from dislike to love. It’s also hard to ignore that while it contains realistic aspects, it does revisit a few themes we may have already explored enough times. Neil Pearson as boss “Finch” has been reduced to a minor role now, and we don't get nearly enough of the insightful advice from Jones and the underutilized Jim Broadbent. It’s an agreeable addition to the series, but much of its original charm is gone; at just over two hours, I felt somewhat bored by the time it ended. It remains entertaining, but it isn't what it once was.
