Given that I've complained about several aspects of this film, I'm still rather surprised that I liked it. It's a shame, too, because I liked that particular subplot in both Austen's "Persuasion" and Fielding's "Edge of Reason." The character of Giles Benwick is based on an Austen character named Benwick who has recently lost his fiancée, but that is the only Austen reference from the book left.
"The Edge of Reason" was not-so-loosely based on another Jane Austen novel, "Persuasion," but any overt Austen references are completely wiped out here.

The first book was not-so-loosely based on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." The first movie left a lot of that in, and even included a lot of "inside jokes" for those of us who are familiar with that delightful book and the filmed version starring Colin Firth as Fitzwilliam Darcy. It's hard to put my finger on why - because I'm not quite sure why some of the book's original plot lines were ommitted, and because I thought the Rebecca subplot was gratuitous - but I did like it. The first movie was better.īut, oddly enough, I still liked this version of The Edge of Reason. theaters September 16, 2016.Reviewed by Julie-30 7 / 10 The book was better. Sometimes people just need mindless comedies, and Zellweger has been proven to be able to provide that.īridget Jones's Baby will be coming to U.S. But I'm guessing that fans of the movie and the books won't care that much. The trailer looks very similar to the romantic comedy equations that have been typical of the past Bridget Jones movies. When we were making a second film, we were asked, 'Why? How's that going to work?' On this film it's 'Are the people too old? Blah blah blah.' You've just got to stick with what you believe and hope it works." One of the film's producers, Eric Fellner, told them, "We get a lot of rubbish thrown at us. In this instance, you take the time to get through things."Īccording to EW people have been critical. With Grey's, you're just grinding it out.
It's just a completely different approach. I've enjoyed it immensely, getting back to something that has a beginning, middle, and end. The next thing we see is Patrick Dempsey, McDreamy himself, as another possibility of being the other baby daddy.ĭempsey told Entertainment Weekly, of working on this film, "It all happened very quickly. She's once again living the single life, but discovers that she's pregnant, and apparently, there's a possibility of Mark being the father, or is he? She brings Mark to the ultrasound, but asks her doctor (played by Emma Thompson) for a favor. So, in the trailer for the new movie, it appears that Bridget is not married to Mark anymore, or she didn't get married to him (only in her dreams?). They consider it even worse than murder because while murder might result in one death, drugs kill many more. There was also the strange scenario of her ending up in a Thai prison due to her accidental cocaine smuggling- true to life, Thailand highly frowns upon drug smuggling. This happened after she finally got rid of her off-again, on-again relationship with Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which didn't do very well with critics, and scored a 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, wrapped up with Jones getting engaged to Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth). Since the last Bridget Jones sequel was so long ago, not since 2004 have we seen the movies based on the novels by Helen Fielding in the theater, here is a little refresher of where Bridget Jones last left us.
From this trailer, we can deduce that Bridget Jones is single, and still clumsy. The trailer for this new film was released on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday. If you were a fan of either of those movies, you might be happy to know that after 14 years, Renée Zellweger will reprise her role of Bridget in a third movie called Bridget Jones's Baby. Maybe you've seen Bridget Jones' Diary or Bridget Jones:The Edge of Reason.
