Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
Once again, two-time Academy Award® winner Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Bridget Jones, the iconic romantic-comedy heroine we all know and love. A woman whose approach to life and love has redefined an entire film genre.
Bridget Jones first blasted onto bookshelves in Helen Fielding’s literary phenomenon Bridget Jones’s Diary, which became a global bestseller and a blockbuster film. As a single career woman living in London, Bridget Jones not only introduced the world to her romantic adventures, but added "singletons", "smug-marrieds" and “f---wittage” into the global lexicon. Bridget’s ability to triumph despite adversity led her to finally marry top lawyer Mark Darcy and to become the mother of their baby boy. Happiness at last.
But in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to nine year-old Billy and four year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
Pressured by her urban family —Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynaecologist Dr Rawlings (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall). Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Oscar® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor).
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is available from Sky Store, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Virgin Media and other digital retailers. So go on, create the ultimate girls night in with the year’s biggest movie.
