The fourth episode of the adventures of Bridget Jones was released in the cinema on February 12, 2025. And after two average parts, the charm operates again.
A fourth episode of Bridget Joneswhy do it? Let’s be honest, it was the reflection we made when the release of Bridget Jones: crazy about him February 12, 2025. If the first part, modern adaptation and cabotine ofPride and prejudiceshas imposed itself as one of the classics of British romantic comedy, it is an understatement to say that its two laborious suites had left only perishable memories with its heroine, clumsy in the extreme, which never really seemed to evolve .
We therefore had no expectations for this fourth suite. And Bridget Jones: crazy about him gave us wrong. This fourth episode operates a real return to the sources of the first episode, with a very strong starting premise: the heroine (Renée Zellweger) has been widowed since the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) Four years ago, and she is now ready to find love. But she must learn to juggle between the education of her two children, the pressure of her loved ones and her own mourning.
This fourth episode regularly quotes the first film (the newspaper of the diary, the scene of the confession under the snow …) by adopting its own identity thanks to its more mature themes: love in 2020 sauce (the apps of Meeting, ghosting, pressure to get out of celibacy, age difference …) and mourning. Without losing its irreverence and its singular tone, Bridget Jones: crazy about him Also gets rid of everything that was writing in the first episode (Grossophobia in particular) to offer new adventures resolutely modern to its heroine.
The first part offers francs of funcarried by an impeccable Emma Thompson and a Hugh grant in great shape. All, served by A myriad of delicious secondary characters and tasty replicas that frankly laugh. The second operates a more serious turning point, a little more melodramatic and slow, but which remains very tender and moving in its more mature themes (living on a daily basis with mourning, exceeding it, acceptance …). It comes out of a bridget always overwhelmed by his slightly chaotic daily life, but which (finally) grows and calms down. In the last images, the heroine and her relatives finally seem ready to say goodbye to the fans who have followed them since 1996. A last chapter of this definitively successful red diary.
