Just like the first film, it is a light romantic comedy. Competent writers were hired to put together a script that delivers the same kind of effects as the first movie. It is not profound in any sense of the word. The film feels over-engineered, except with regard to Bridget&#8217;s boyfriend Mark. The writers left him without any trace of character. You forget Bridge Jones II the moment you step out of the plane. If you are looking for a playful light romantic comedy, bring your DVD player on board and watch Ren\u00e9e Zellweger in <em>Down with Love<\/em>. If you want to see how good an actress Zellweger is, you might want to watch her in the marvelous film <em>Cold Mountain<\/em>, which I reviewed on this page early last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are flying to the West Coast this month with United Airlines, you are presented with the Briget Jones sequel.
