So luckily the movie studios decided that this was just too sad and they worked with the Helen Fielding to come up with Bridget Jones's Baby! Sadly Hugh Grant decided not to reprise his role but we do get in his place - McDreamy - Patrick Dempsey as the other piece of eye candy. It's older eye candy as it's 15 years since the first movie, but eye candy nonetheless. Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey, not too shabby!
The movie is pretty funny and entertaining - this time around Bridget has her weight under control but not her love life. She has gone around with Mark Darcy for 10 years and is still single. Mark has remarried, which make it marriage #2 for him. She ends up going to a music festival with her news caster friend and she ends up having a one night stand with McDreamy and leaves him in the lurch. The next week at one of her best friends' kids christening, Mark ends up being the Godfather and they share a night together. With one week in between the two indiscretions, she discovers that she's now pregnant and either guy could be the father.
So these two men find out, not knowing there's another possible father in the mix. When they do find out is when the fun starts. They both essentially start competing for her attention and quite like Mark and Daniel, they have some fun fights.
Without giving any more away, I will say that I very much enjoyed the movie. I laughed out loud on numerous occasion and despite it being a 10 PM showing, I managed to stay awake and entertained the entire time. The cast isn't the only one who's gotten old! It wasn't as good as the first but wayyyy better than the second. Bridget Jones is a bit older, wiser and thinner.
