As much as this latest installment draws on affection for the snappy first film, it's the differences that make Bridget Jones's Baby the warmest and most satisfying of the series. Read full review

A warm, witty and welcome return – intelligently evolved and an absolute hoot. As Bridget would say: ‘v.good’. Read full review

Brian Truitt

While it unabashedly leans into its chick-flick nature, returning director Sharon Maguire — who helmed 2001’s franchise-starter "Bridget Jones’s Diary" — manages to craft the strongest and funniest film of the series. Read full review

Bridget Jones’s Baby is not a game-changer, but that’s not what it sets out to be. It’s a goodnatured, accessible, persistently endearing matinee, and sometimes it’s nice to be won over by simple sincerity and commercial likeability. Read full review

It's a comeback you root for, then, even while it’s wobbling and occasionally falling in the mud. But goodwill gets it home. Read full review

Even considering its optimistic, open-ended conclusion, Bridget Jones’s Baby feels like an affectionate, slightly overdue goodbye to characters whose time has inevitably passed. Read full review

Maguire has the nerve to give her heroine a big speech on the “integrity” of proper journalism — this after Bridget Jones’s Baby has made fun of foreigners’ names, and arranged for her to put the wrong Asian guest in front of the cameras. (Do all Asians look alike to her? Is that the joke?) So reliably does she embarrass herself at every public event that the film, trudging by on automatic, becomes an embarrassment, too.

Very funny film and Colin Firth will break your heart. He is so good. He made me cry. The weak link was Patrick Dempsey. He cannot act. Emma Thompson was a added bonus. I wish that Americans were supporting the film. It is a huge hit overseas.
