    Storyline

    Edit
    This story picks up four weeks after the first movie, and already Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is becoming uncomfortable in her relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Apart from discovering that he's a conservative voter, she has to deal with a new boss, strange contractor, and the worst vacation of her life. —lcheala@imdb.com

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the book, Bridget Jones is obsessed by Colin Firth from Pride and Prejudice (1995), and even gets to meet him for an interview. This plotline is omitted from this movie, where Firth played her love interest Mark Darcy. They did, however, film the interview scene with Colin dressed in his street clothes, and Renée Zellweger in character. The scene is included in the DVD extras.
    • Goofs
      (at around 27 mins) During the Law Council quiz, in the final and deciding round, Contemporary Culture; the final question asked by the quiz-master which will decide if Bridget's team table will win or not is "What was the name of Madonna's first UK single?". Bridget is sure the answer is 'Lucky Star' while other team members are unsure and discuss that the answer may be 'Holiday'. Bridget then confidently gives the answer as 'Lucky Star'. Bridget is told she is wrong and her opponent gives the answer "Holiday", the quiz-master confirms this is indeed correct, thereby meaning that Bridget's team loses the quiz. In actual fact, both answers are incorrect. Madonna's first UK single was entitled 'Everybody', released in December 1982.

      Daniel Cleaver: [Daniel Cleaver and Mark Darcy have just had a fistfight over Bridget] You know what, mate? If you are so obsessed with Bridget Jones, why don't you just marry her?

      Mark Darcy: [turns away and starts to walk]

      Daniel Cleaver: [pause] Cause then she'd definitely shag me.

      [Mark dives again into the fountain]

    Having seen the first version, I was looking forward to a good laugh. However this movie really failed to live up to it. Actually perhaps the movie cannot be blamed for it since the storyline itself is quite ridiculous, There was no reason for the Darcy- Bridget split in the first place. Nor the absurd antics with Hugh Grant (the prostitute was in pretty poor taste). The mid-life crisis which is so refreshing in the first movie sounds boring and repetitive.

    Renee Zelwegger, looks haggard and unattractive. Also she seems to be overly neurotic - a trait that begins to grate on the nerves. Darcy is passable. Only Hugh Grant shines - he plays the role of the scoundrel with aplomb.

    The only high point of the movie is the reprise of the Firth-Grant fisticuff. It is as ludicrous as the first - perhaps even better.
