As the oft-flustered Ms Jones might suggest: if you're in a good fling, stick to it.

That is until the ever self-concious Bridget sabotages their relationship by making a crass comment and by letting jealousy rear its ugly head. The Dish I honestly did not care for the first movie. ... Full Review

It's kind of cute, and does give a deeper look at Bridget Jones character, so its okay. These are all beautifully carried out and come across the screen in such a touching and genuine way that we really see Bridget and not Renee. ... Full Review

British good guy Colin Firth returns as Mark Darcy, Bridget Jones's sensible but sweet love interest. You know, my experience of violent confrontation dates back to the playground age, about 6 or 7 years old, and so that's what I drew from. ... Full Review

The Edge of Reason, indeed: The European premiere circuit for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason was plagued with problems, beginning in Paris, where proceedings began more than an hour late (we heard it was Hugh Grant holding things up, but we're not pointing any fingers). ... Full Review

This one, short scene captures that feeling better than any film I've ever seen. This is because reading is a lost art in today's society. ... Full Review

The plot of the first film was fanciful....The Edge of Reason is a decent little film, but the novelty is gone.... ... Full Review

The Edge of Reason is a decent little film, but the novelty is gone....his grandiose fight scene with Grant is for all time.....The acting is another highlight.....The plot of the first film was fanciful....it is some sort of bizarre nadir in English-language comedy..... ... Full Review
