Bridget Jones's Baby | Ratings & Reviews

"Bridget is older. Single again. We find her awakening to a 43rd birthday, ditched by her friends and scolded for her childlessness by her mother. She faces increasing irrelevancy at her TV news producer job (as much a satire of modern media as aging-woman-in-the-workplace) and after a couple of saucy middle-aged romps with ex-flame Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and hunky one-night-stand Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), finds herself pregnant and not entirely sure of the baby’s parentage."

Flicks, Leonie HaydenFlicks

"Not a comedy for the ages, but it's interesting to see a rom-com starring a middle-aged woman grappling with irrelevance in the workplace."

VarietyVariety

"A warm, witty and welcome return - intelligently evolved and an absolute hoot. As Bridget would say: 'v.good'."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Funny and charming. But what's missing is Hugh Grant as Daniel 'invest in lockable knickers' Cleaver."

Time OutTime Out

"Basically, Bridget presides over a kind of coalition government of very good supporting turns which on aggregate enforce their chaotic comic rule over the audience. Just about."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"While not all of this helter-skelter rom-com works, this is a welcome reminder of all the endearing and rip-snorting qualities of the original."

StuffStuff

"She's a breath of fresh air; a character we can relate to because we recognise a little of ourselves in her."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"It is agreeably optimistic, faithful to the characters (if not Fielding's third novel) and very funny."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Delivers on what the franchise has always done best."

FilmInkFilmInk

"More than a match for the original, the third outing for Bridget has a solid story with holes you'll forgive thanks to the much-missed onscreen magic created by a director and her leading woman."
