 - Fun, Light ComedyIt's really hard to find a good funny, not sleazy; comedy these days but this one makes the grade. Renee is funny, Hugh is his usual charming self, and Colin is one of the most under appreciated actors of this day. Here's one the whole family can watch and still not snooze. M. Endrizz Rating:  - Entertaining, but just okayI loved the first move and all of the performances in it, but the second one was just a little too slapstick and didn't have the same "magic" and "chemistry" as the first. The story is quite different from the book, which is fine, but I don't think it captured the essence of the book. It was entertaining and I might consier watching it again, but it's not what I would consider to be one of the top films. While I love Collin Firth and Renne Zellwegger, they just didnt seem to have that "chemistry", it just seemed a little stiff. Also, Bridget just didn't seem to be quite as "endearing" as she was in the first. There were humorous scenes and the ending was happy, but it just seemed like they tried to cram a bunch of stuff in the movie thinking it's what people wanted. Like they were trying to make everyone happy, which is impossible. Adding extra stuff or changing events is sometimes a great thing (like in John Grisham's "The Firm") but it didn't seem to work here. The movie's okay and is a nice light chick type of flick...and my opinion would be the same even without reading the book. If you are looking for more Bridget, check out the audiobook. I highly recommend as a 5 star.....you won't regret it and will find yourself laughing aloud and honestly, I think the book appeals to a wider audience. Rating: - not badthis was an okay movie, it was a little better than the first, but it wasn't bad. Rating:  - Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason This is a must see if you enjoyed Bridgit Jones's Diary. It's the "rest of the story". Because I liked Bridgit Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones -The Edge of Reason so much, I ordered them for my DVD library to watch whenever I need some joy and a laugh. Rating: - Bridget Jones DiaryThis has got to be my all-time favorite movie ever! I have both the first movie and the sequel and wish they'd come out with another one. I just love the Bridget Jones character. She's so loveable and chaotic - a bit like myself. I can see so much of her in me. Maybe that's why I like the movie so much. I've watched it so many times, I've got it almost all memorized (the first one). Please make another sequel!
