Miss (shoot me in the foot this movie sucks) - Starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant

The story of Bridget Jones picks up four weeks later from the end of the first film. Just when Bridget thought life was going to be easy, she finds herself becoming uncertain of her relationship with top human rights attorney Mark Darcy. To make matters worse, Daniel Clever returns and begins working alongside Bridget at her television show, “Sit Up Britain!” Whatever will Bridget do?

Second verse! Same as the first! A little bit louder and a whole lot worse!

Who cares what Bridget will do? Throw out that awful diary! The first movie had great flare but this movie falls flat on it’s bum. It took me a while to realize this movie sucked but the realization came when the movie started to become another version of “Brokedown Palace” with Claire Danes. In fact, a cameo by Claire Danes could have made me like the movie better, but, really nothing could save this sinking ship.

This movie provided no further character development (for any characters), no changes, and no interest. Bridget is still quirky but she is not as charming as the first movie where everything about her was fresh. Instead I found her to be horribly annoying and drab. Renee Zellweger doesn’t have a good enough “English Accent” to make me believe that she is actually English, but it was a nice try (loved you in “Chicago“). Colin Firth puts on the character of Mark Darcy like he is putting on his clothing in the morning, and is it just me, or is Hugh Grant even acting? I am not really sure about that one. Bottom Line: This movie deserves a new title: Bridget Jones: Edge of Boredom and total lack of originality in terms of sequel “originality.” God save the Queen if there is talks of a third Bridget Jones movie.
