Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
2004
**
Director: Beeban Kidron
Cast: Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones
Bridget Jones manages to humiliate herself in numerous new ways in this unnecessary sequel which takes place six weeks after the events in the original. In terms of the story or the characters this offers nothing fresh, as it dutifully repeats all the favourite moments from the first film. Renee Zellweger is still enjoyable in the lead, but Bridget Jones has outstayed her welcome. Once again based on Helen Fielding's novel.
