Bridget Jones - Mad About the Boy

Ladyleftfieldlover
RZ seemed to be unable to open her eyes fully, especially at the the beginning of the film. I paid a surprisingly high amount to watch it at home as a treat, would like a refund and the time spent on it back please! Found the whistle-happy teacher unconvincing and irritating and the final concert far too similar to those in About a Boy and Love Actually. It’s a no from me.

I loved the first Bridget Jones, but have never wanted to watch any sequel. To me, The End was The End.

As for the latest, I don’t mind admitting that I find the idea of Older Woman With Much Younger Man a bit icky.

I saw the film with sister in law and heavily pregnant niece. I was shocked at what Renee Z has done to her face! I found it a bit annoying and gave it a 6.

I liked it much better than the book, I gave up with the book half way through. Glad I saw the film it was good and a fitting end to the saga.

Norah, that siunds fun and not at all silly
Yes, she’s aging well - not full of Botox

I watch these films with our daughters and old enough GDs, in daughter2's home. Silly but everyone is happy. Not seen Bridget4 yet.

Renee is beautiful woman, I'm wondering if she has aged well.

I tried to be brave and smiley for my friend, honest I did!

Now glasshalffullagain, don’t be bringing realism into this. I confess even I struggled with that bit, as would anyone who ever drove up the M6 from south to north. It’s ok once your past Lancaster

I wondered how they managed to get from London to the Lake District in half an hour.

I went to support my cinema pal, didn’t expect to enjoy it and I did.

She irritates me, I saw first one but it was not for me.

I'm not a fan of Bridget Jones films and I don't think they have stood the test of time at all. This one wasn't my choice, but it was mildly amusing and mildly moving. I wouldn't be in a rush to see it again though

My daughter and I absolutely loved it.Thought it was so funny and loved Bridgette being so good and making us laugh.

It was ok, I found the bit when she had her lips plumped up and could barely speak quite funny, but BJ has had her day. I did really like the previous ones and enjoyed the books when they were new and fresh, the premise is a bit tired now.

I didn't think much of this either. She is pass her sell by date to be playing this kind of character. The daughter was obnoxious especially the part where she is banging a saucepan for no apparent reason. She would have had short thrift from me!!!

I don’t fancy seeing it.

I enjoyed it .

If I remember correctly, the earlier Bridget Jones was hilarious. I was disappointed with Mad About the Boy, to be honest. I didn't think it was especially funny or clever or... anything.

I’ve been to see it tonight, and enjoyed it. It was a fitting ending to the series, much better if you already knew everybody and recognised their quirks from the previous films, because you then got the references, and laughed along with them. The scene where she was buying condoms was really funny, that had us laughing out loud.

I saw it last week I enjoyed it.

I saw it last week with DD and DGD. We enjoyed it but then we hadn’t set our expectations very high.

Interestingly, DD saw it in Paris a few weeks ago (with subtitles) She thought the French audience found it much funnier than us Brits. They laughed out loud whereas we chuckled. 😂

I only saw the first. Wasn't very impressed and was disappointed she didn't choose Hugh. Yes I know he was a cad and bounder but much more fun than D'Arcy

Oops ignore the “pass” …

It is light entertainment.

I enjoyed it. My daughter and I went together, we laughed and yes, did also pass need tissues!

It was worth it just to see Hugh Grant in support hose!

I never read the books and only saw the first film because a friend wanted to see it on her birthday.

I found the main character irritating then so it sounds as if she hasn't changed much!

I felt bad telling people I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than go and see this one so thank you for helping me feel better about this!
