Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
2025 · 2h 4m · Romance, Comedy, Drama
If you loved the original Bridget Jones films, this feels like a natural—if slightly tired—next chapter that trades romantic chaos for real-life messiness. It's comfort food cinema with heart, but the premise of a widow navigating dating apps and younger suitors treads dangerously close to trying too hard; watch it if you're in the mood for feel-good familiarity, skip it if you want something actually surprising.
Plot
Bridget Jones navigates life as a widow and single mum with the help of her family, friends, and former lover, Daniel. Back to work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe – just maybe – her son's science teacher.
Director: Michael Morris
Cast: Renée Zellweger, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Leo Woodall, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent
