Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

60 of 296 · most liked firstI doubt the makers of the new Bridget Jones movie intended Mark Darcy to serve as poignant metaphor for the passing of rules-based international order and dissolution of world that those of us who came of age in 1990s took for granted, but it kind of works on that level.
positive · AI labelView post →Seeing some of the promo for the new Bridget Jones film and reminded that having a one bed to yourself in Borough in 2001 was seen as a sign of failure, not wildly aspirational.

neutral · AI labelView post →It has come to my attention that the new Bridget Jones movie is going straight to Peacock, and the only conclusion I can come to is that studios somehow hate theaters even more than they love making money

I enter a women's toilet in the UK and am immediately asked for my birth certificate, my passport, my favourite Bridget Jones film, a photo of my genitals, my cranial measurements and an affirmation from a gynaecologist that I was born with egg-producing equipment (even if faulty)
neutral · AI labelView post →people watched Bridget Jones' Diary and went, Haha how amusing, but also inspirational, that such a portly woman would believe herself worthy of romance

neutral · AI labelView post →other studios are predicting Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy might hit $100 million overseas. why Universal threw it on Peacock and not in theaters is...wild. this movie plays and has an audience.
neutral · AI labelView post →I quite enjoyed the new Bridget Jones film. Full of little treats for fans of the original.
positive · AI labelView post →Eye-opening info on this global box office chart. Mickey 17, a bomb in relation to cost, still made $132m. Statham’s latest is about to cross $100m. New Bridget Jones made $140m w/o US theater run. Revenge of the Sith re-release is the #20 movie of the year. www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The “Bridget Jones isn’t fat!” Narrative has sprung up again because of the new film, and I always thought it was odd because reading the book, where Bridget TOPS OUT at 130 lbs, it seemed like the book was never saying she was fat - she had seriously disordered eating and *she* thought she was fat.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is so wonderful. Haven’t laughed (and cried) so much at a film in ages. Strong recommend.
positive · AI labelView post →Gods, the new Bridget Jones film is a forceful thing.
positive · AI labelView post →The new Bridget Jones movie is streaming and this might be the most excited I've been to unplug and watch something in years. Which is admittedly a bit embarrassing, but also v v classic 'bridg' Anyone else donning their bunny ears and revising their favourite singleton?
positive · AI labelView post →Good morning. Still getting over the unexpected emotional G-Force of the new Bridget Jones film. (And yes, the Newtonian pun is deliberate.)
positive · AI labelView post →I cannot wait to watch the new Bridget Jones movie, and I'm saving it as a treat for later, after I'm done with laying out this book, possibly by tomorrow.
positive · AI labelView post →This is like watching that fight between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in the Bridget Jones film Both swinging wildly while everyone watches and laughs

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve just been watching the new Bridget Jones movie, and that former Conservative and current Labour MP is starring in it! Second jobs should be banned :) @rosieisaholt.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the new Bridget Jones movie and I'm balling my eyes out twenty minutes in. This is supposed to be a comedy. Fuck you Renee Zellweger! I don't need more sadness right now.
neutral · AI labelView post →make a trifle out of it with a jar of some boozy fruit, some good (bought!) custard and some whipped cream and grated chocolate on top. eat the whole thing yourself with a big spoon in front of the first Bridget Jones film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bridget jones was quite heart warming and funny. I thought it was better than the last one. I cried several times, especially considering the subject matters. It was a good way of letting out some of my own grief this weekend. If you liked the first Bridget Jones movie, I think you’ll like this ones
positive · AI labelView post →Confession: I've never seen any Bridget Jones movie. I don't imagine that's ever going to change😆
neutral · AI labelView post →Given the second was the worst film ever made, it sounds like faint praise to say this was by far the best of the four, but, no, Bridget Jones MATB is genuinely wonderful. Funny. Moving. Barely a false note throughout. Blubbed like an infant.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie Of The Day... Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
neutral · AI labelView post →I really enjoyed Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. It’s a charmingly lovely, moving film with surprising depth. Having recently revisited the first 3 films, I appreciated all of the cameos and Easter eggs. It’s the best film since the 2001 original.
positive · AI labelView post →Just seen the second Bridget Jones film. First Four Weddings, now this. Why do all British films need to include a scene where a pack of utterly repulsive posh arseholes sit a vintage car, braying out of the window like a bunch of twats who genuinely deserve to crash?
neutral · AI labelView post →I know I'm incredibly shallow, but I just find it very hard not to be pulled out of a film when an actor's face is too expensive for the role. I even found the Bridget Jones 4 trailers too much for this.

neutral · AI labelView post →I remember seeing Bridget Jones as a preteen or teen and wondering how and why she was called fat so much in that movie. It was incredibly baffling to me.

neutral · AI labelView post →We don't talk enough about how BRIDGET JONES is one of the best movie series. Even the worst one is a delight, and the latest - BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY - is definitely not the worst. (The original is still the best.) My review of a lovely new installment is at The Wrap!
positive · AI labelView post →I like how the new Bridget Jones movie advertising is like it’s the last one okay.
neutral · AI labelView post →good morning everyone. try not to think too hard about the fact that Bridget Jones is only 32 in the first film
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't even make a movie about Bridget Jones' Freezer Full of Dicks these days because of woke.
neutral · AI labelView post →The new Bridget Jones film is a case in point: the third Bridget Jones novel was judged too dark a decade ago so they made a new one up. In 2025, the subject matter is fine but Zellwegger is a more unrealistic shape (even before the v expensive face) than she was in the original movie!
negative · AI labelView post →>Fight club comes to mind So does Bridget Jones Diary. I'm not saying whether its more stereotypically male or not in movies (I've never thought about it, maybe its that there have historically been more male leads in general?), I just like bringing up the classic naugthies rom-coms whenever I can.
neutral · AI labelView post →Celia Imrie of Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Midsomer Murders, AbFab the Movie, Bridget Jones series, etc. etc. is somewhere in this as a maid. Like blink-and-you'll-miss-her ^PG #TCMParty #DOTN

neutral · AI labelView post →In Bridget Jones Diary, Renee Zellweger has fat jokes made about her the entire film (because to Richard Curtis, cruelty to fat people is comedy) but she's not even remotely fat.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Bridget Jones Diary and oh man everyone in this movie is absolutely NAILING their particular flavor of charming
neutral · AI labelView post →Seeing Sally Phillips in the new Bridget Jones movie just makes me want a Smack the Pony reboot.
neutral · AI labelView post →Chiwetel Ejiofor is charming as hell, I’d love to see him in a rom-com or romantic drama I guess he was in the straight-to-streaming Bridget Jones movie last year but I’ve decided that doesn’t count but I’m not convinced that film actually exists
neutral · AI labelView post →Renee Zellwegger is having a revival lately, with the 4th Bridget Jones movie, plus a straight to streaming w/Keanu Reeves that looks pretty interesting. A Reneessance, if you will. Good for her.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hang on: BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY is a Peacock Movie (i.e. Not In Theaters in America)?!? Universal is leaving money on the table with that Valentine’s Day release.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love that Shirley Henderson has had a good, long career doing strong work in British film, has supporting roles in the Trainspotting and Bridget Jones movies, and then also plays a ghost teen and a bunch of little mechanic alien dudes in two of the biggest franchises ever.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s nothing like a Bridget Jones film to make even the scattiest of us feel like we’ve got our sh*t together! *blonde lady with hand by her face* *box of popcorn*
