Consistently both touching and very funny from start to finish, Bridget Jones’s Baby holds few surprises.
It has a very strong cast: Emma Thompson in particular is a wonderful addition as Bridget’s obstetrician, as is Sarah Solemani who plays Bridget’s friend and colleague, the TV presenter Miranda. The scenes at the TV station are hilarious. And of course Colin Firth is as reliable as ever as the hapless Mark Darcy from whom Bridget has split some years before.
As a single woman, Bridget has a one–night stand with a gorgeous American (Patrick Dempsey) who, as it happens, is a billionaire internet entrepreneur. A few days later she gets drunk and hooks up with Mark Darcy again after a christening. A few weeks later she takes a pregnancy test and then, naturally, has no idea which of the two is the baby’s father. She declines a DNA test and spends the entire pregnancy with the two potential fathers fighting over both her and the baby.
You know you’re in for a 100% happy ending with a film like this, so you can really sit back and enjoy the ride. There’s only one way the plot could really end, but it does very well to keep you guessing nonetheless. Relax, you are in very good hands! John Crome
