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.
