bridget jones When it was first released in 2001, it was a cultural phenomenon; Millions of women immediately identified with this incredibly honest and hilarious take on what it’s like to be a single woman trying to navigate the worlds of dating, career, family and friendships. From her work drama to her love triangle to her struggles with her aging parents, it’s all so relatable that star Renee Zellweger hits a home run in the acting and comedy departments.
Now, 23 years later, Brigitte is back again, essentially Bridget Jones 4. We find out she is in her 50s and has two children with her great love, Mark Darcy. But tragedy strikes: her husband dies, and she is now a widow, once again at a crossroads in her life.
Bridget Jones: Crazy for this boy Set to be released over Valentine’s Day weekend, it will explore a middle-aged Bridget as she deals with motherhood, dating and all her oldest questions – figuring out who she is and her place in the world.
But don’t take our word for it, pull up a chair and check out the new full-length trailer released on Tuesday.
Even if you’ve read all the novels, here are a few surprises: First, even though Mark Darcy is no longer with us, fan-favorite Colin Firth is still in the movie, even though it looks like he’s only in Now in a spooky or dreamlike way.
While you might think Daniel Cleaver (played by Hugh Grant) has completely faded from view by now, he’s still around, ostensibly as a cheeky friend and father to her children, helping Bridget through her grief.
As Jones tries to fall in love again, it seems like two more men show up on the dating scene. A very young Leo Woodall (white lotus) and a teacher who has a crush on Chiwetel Ejiofor (Twelve years a slave)——How is it possible to choose?
The trailer also confirms something we’ve already suspected: It looks like Bridget is still charmingly getting into all kinds of trouble, including some over-the-top physical comedy. Even decades after we started dating her, she still made us feel seen.
