Nice effects though.
Just what I expected
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
First movie was funny - second movie kind of boring - third movie So freaking funny!Loved it! So hilarious! Tears from laughing! She did it again! Must-see!
No movie should get a rating higher than 1 star, that makes a joke about genocide. It's neither smart, neither funny, it's just completely tasteless and awkward. I for one certainly don't believe, that movies necessarily need to have a positive message, but laughing over genocide is just too awful to appreciate anything else that this movie might offers.
Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is a 43 year old news producer...spinster. She has retired her ovaries. Daniel, one of the two loves of her life, has passed on. She asks herself in Austen fashion, "Is Mr. Darcy, Mr Right?" She goes away on to a music festival (one that has Ed Sheeran). It is called a "Sodom and Gomorrah with tofu." Here she meets Jack (Patrick Dempsey) and hooks up. Later at home, her and Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) a married man, come together after 10 years of cat and mouse. As you already know, the question becomes, "whose baby is it?" The film is a romantic comedy, with Bridget loved unconditionally by two wealthy men, apparently not uncommon for 43 year old pregnant moms who don't know who is the father. The support cast was excellent and the film boasts a Joe Cocker, "Up Where We Belong" moment...sort of. We don't get to know who the father is until the very end...This was a fairly good comedy with top stars up grading what could have been an average film.Guide: F-word. Sex. Male rear nudity...and not pretty at that.
There is, indeed, something wrong with Zellweger's face job. The stretched eyes, the botoxed forehead, the puffed out lips - made a joke out of the Bridget Jones character. And the British accent - by now wouldn't it be MORE believable after the third outing instead of something from a high school drama class? Zellweger's scrunched up facial expressions have become identical - pain, thinking, happy all look the same. The premise of the movie - that a 43-year-old woman can't tell who fathered her child - is painfully stupid.
