Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' delves into mature themes of grief and loss, with Renée Zellweger delivering an authentic and profound performance. While praised for its emotional depth, the film is criticized for relying on familiar tropes and lacking the charm of earlier installments. The romantic subplots and new characters are deemed less engaging, and some find the film overly sentimental and formulaic. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate its heartfelt moments and the return of beloved characters.

'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy (2025)' is very different to its predecessors, much more sombre and more contemplative. Rather than struggling with beauty standards and societal pressures, Bridget struggles with grief and coming to terms with a world which no longer has Mr. Darcy in it. Set four years after his untimely demise, the film puts enough distance between his death and its events that it isn't constantly consumed by sadness, focusing more on the reality of what happens just after the period of time usually covered by stories concerning tragedy. This allows the affair to totally avoid being dour, and it isn't even all that downbeat. It naturally fluctuates between making you laugh and making you cry, its general sadness counterbalanced by momentary happiness and the understanding that life has to go on and that there's nothing wrong with that. The central drama isn't so much 'boy' (Leo Woodall) vs 'man' (Chiwetel Ejiofor) insofar as a love triangle is concerned (the men share only a single scene), but instead one of Bridget learning to accept the absence of her husband and to live her life again. There are romantic elements of course, but this is the least 'rom-com' in the traditional sense of all the Bridget movies. It also might just be the best. Renée Zellweger is really solid as the lead character, easily slipping back into the role that arguably defines her career, and it's a treat to see characters (including Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver, who is pretty much unchanged by the year-long period in which he was declared dead but was actually stranded on an island somewhere, and Emma Thompson's frank-as-always Dr. Rawlings) and locations and even character setups from its predecessors. It's pretty funny and it's pretty moving. In fact, it's pretty much everything it needs to be. It does feel a little long, and certain elements in its third act feel rather rushed. Plus, Bridget doesn't have the strongest chemistry with one of the men (I won't spoil which) and some aspects of the picture feel more obligatory than natural. Still, it's a really solid sequel that examines relatable and important themes in an effective way. It totally justifies its existence.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy delivers exactly what fans expect-heartfelt emotion, slapstick comedy, and romantic fantasy-while offering just enough fresh twists to keep things engaging. Picking up four years after Mark Darcy's death, the film follows Bridget as she navigates modern dating, leading to plenty of hilarious and endearing mishaps.
Director Michael Morris enhances the storytelling with immersive visuals, particularly in a standout single-shot sequence that captures Bridget's chaotic yet lovable world. The humor shines in classic Bridget fashion, from an awkward school interview to a laugh-out-loud tree rescue scene. Renée Zellweger effortlessly reprises her role, supported by a stellar cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall. Though some jokes about technology feel a bit dated, the film's emotional depth-especially in Bridget's journey of self-reinvention-keeps it grounded.
With a nostalgic yet refreshing energy, Mad About the Boy is a charming return to Bridget's world, reminding us that love and laughter only get better with age.

I didn't think I would love this movie as much as I did. I laughed, I cried and the nostalgic factor was chefs kiss! I love that it dealt with real life issues like grief, single motherhood and feeling like you are always failing at life. I also enjoyed the nostalgic factor. I feel like for not being in theaters, this was a wonderful movie with a beautiful soundtrack and amazing actors! Although this movie dealt with serious topics, there was also some very cute comedic relief sprinkled in. You won't regret the watch if you loved the Bridget Jones Diaries movies. I would absolutely recommend it!
The final installment of this wonderful series was a tad disappointing. Hugh grant was his flawless Daniel Cleaver but the other characters just seemed forced. The story seemed a bit compartmentalized, and the film never seemed to catch its rhythm. I just expected more From this incredible team of seasoned actors. However wonderful to see all the familiar faces, It was just a bad reminder of how quickly Life passes by. But for all the Bridget Jones fans in the world, it's a must see to say farewell to our beloved characters Who have brought Love, laughs and hope to all us romantics. Thanks for the memories!
