Interesting continuation of the Bridget franchise
30 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Quite entertaining rom-com, third instalment in the Bridget Jones Diary franchise with a few twists that make it a better film than the second really.

The odious Hugh Grant character, Daniel 'Vivian' Cleaver (Yes you read that right) does not appear in this instalment and his disappearance from this film is explained away pretty well. An apparent death although a body has not been recovered. Is he dead?

Bridget Jones (Rene Zellwegger) is still a single, forty something (43 To be precise) who somehow falls pregnant with two possible fathers. (New character, US dating algorithm billionaire guru Jack Quant (Patrick Dempsey) and series regular Mark Darcy (Colin Firth)).

The film follows the pregnancy from the first scan to the waters breaking with some hilarious scenes. Jones (as Daniel Cleaver would say) eventually marries but to whom? I won't give that away.

There's also a twist towards the end of the film. Is Cleaver still alive? Open for a continuation of the series perhaps. All in all an entertaining, comedic film.
