So many times the film plot for this trilogy has gone round in circles with her being cheated on by Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and then falling in love with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and then going back to Cleaver and then back to Darcy. This film did not feature Hugh Grant (probably because he wasn't permitted to fight with Hugh Grant again) and so we did not have to suffer the normal predictability of two men fighting over Bridget but we did have to sit there and wait for the expected outcome at the end of the film.
What can we say about it? ?It was fantastic, it was funny, it was enjoyable with a great soundtrack that really suited the film. The comedy is natural and not in a Peter Sellers way, in a this line or event is hilarious but also entirely probable and for some of us more likely to happen than to others. It's a great way to spend an evening, none of them have lost their touch and the addition of Emma Thompson is fantastic. Everything that you see in the advert is just as funny as when you see it on the big screen, not to mention the things that weren't in the advert. From start to finish you are laughing (even the guy next to me who was surrounded by women was laughing throughout the entire film) and enjoying your evening. You don't need a companion to enjoy this film- just go and see it and you will enjoy it- it's kind of a guilty pleasure for men (like Taylor Swift) and that's okay.
Bridget Jones' Baby is the perfect way to wind down and the perfect ending to the films. There is always a twist but I don't think that the twist signifies another movie in this case, with the baby and the happy ever after type ending the series doesn't need another film. It's good to see the team back for one last go and good to see the production team realising that the cast have all got older and have written a script to suit their age instead of making people with Grey hair who are clearly well in to their fifties try and play someone who is supposed to be in their twenties. Every thought that went in to this film is fantastic.
