Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Bridget Jones navigates life as a widow and single mum with the help of her family, friends, and former lover, Daniel. Back to work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe – just maybe – her son's science teacher.

Predictable, yes, but a very different Bridget. The laughs are fewer, but that isn’t a bad thing. It’s a look at grief, getting through it, and not wallowing. The loss of loved ones, and youth, with the passing of time … all these daunting things that become more apparent as the years mount. However, it offers that sense of hope that her diaries have always had, optimism in the face of adversity… with more than the odd moment of comic catastrophe along the way. Bridget keeps going, keeps smiling, and keeps hoping. Funny, heartwarming, uplifting and enjoyable.
