Grant‘s Cleaver with his thirst for random conquest is at least explainable. Firth‘s Darcy is depicted as a saint of course but one begins to wonder what sickness lurks within a man who watches idly as his girlfriend humiliates herself so brazenly. Grant and Firth are caddishness and constipation personified but the stereotypes are way too easy. Even the acclaimed Oscar-nominated English accent sounds a little shaky.
She decided to take on a sequel with a character that had absolutely nowhere to go and she doesn’t muster the energy needed to save her this time. None of this is exactly Zellweger‘s fault–the screenplay is terrible for starters–and yet all of it is. And her unabashed quest to humiliate herself in public knows no bounds. Bridget’s fat is zoomed in on enlarged jiggled fetishized and dragged through pig dung. Zellweger famously put 25 pounds back on to reprise the role but this time it seems closer to 50. But if the point of Bridget the First is finding the character’s attractiveness within the point of the sequel is that Bridget is fat and stupid and the object of our ridicule. She’s sweet though and she’s funny and she offsets Darcy’s stuffiness in a neatly symmetrical opposites attract way. Bridget isn’t the smartest girl or the prettiest girl or the thinnest girl but she still wins Prince Charming. The massive appeal of the character from the books and the first film isn’t that difficult to understand. Hugh Grant rears his scaly head as former paramour Daniel Cleaver and a song and dance routine breaks out in a Thai prison. Bridget feeds her insecurities by stuffing her face drinking like a sailor and then slurring insults at whatever passing character will provide the maximum of shame and embarrassment. His slinky secretary ( Jacinda Barrett) flirts ominously.
He chastises her for it grumpily she apologizes and then she freaks out thinking that he will break up with her. In the short span of four weeks together Bridget and Darcy have already become the couple that don’t speak.

She has already climbed her highest mountain and dreamed her impossible dream she has her soulmate Mark Darcy ( Colin Firth) all wrapped up in a little bow and yet the movie keeps going. The story arc of Bridget Jones Part Deux is identical to the first except for one little detail: Instead of trying to find a man Bridget Jones ( Renee Zellweger) worries about losing the one she’s got.
