Cinocomedy “Bridget Jones – crazy for him”: Witwentröster wanted

Since “Bridget Jones – Chocolate Zum Breakfast” came out in 2001 according to the novel by the author Helen Fielding, the chaos woman, embodied by Renée Zellweger, has now developed into a cult brand.

With the “very British” attitude, which the then screenwriter Richard Curtis also prescribed his hits “Notting Hill”, “Four weddings and a death” and “actually … love”, Curtis not only made Hugh Grant the star Licinished Rome Com genre sparkled crowns around the turn of the millennium.

Curtis is no longer there in the script for the fourth part “Bridget Jones – crazy for him”. But Helen Fielding, who at the time, who is at the time to write a modern entertainment novel that is based on Jane Austen’s classic “pride and prejudice”, met the romantic longings of modern single women directly.

Colin Firth als Mr. Darcy

Bridget is no longer one of them almost 25 years after her first canvas appearance. In the third part, “Bridget Jones’ Baby” from 2016, she finally decided on her on-off flame, human rights lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and received a son.

But as the cruel fate wants it, Mr. Darcy has been looking at the radishes from below for four years and Bridget has to raise ten -year -old Billy and six -year -old mabel alone.

Logo that bridget feels like a mother like a nourished. No Rome Com heroine without Cinderella complex. Right at the beginning of the comedy, she sets a pot of Spaghetti in a fun slapstick scene.

But also the disorder of the house in the elite north of London, in Hampstead, cannot hide the fact that Mark Darcy Bridget and the children have obviously left well. In any case, even after four years of unpaid mourning work, money is never about money.

After all, when Dr. Rawlings, Bridget’s gynecologist, who plays Emma Thompson again with stunningly dry humor, gives her “professional advice”, better to work again, the TV producer sprints immediately. Also, as friends and mother you advise you to get started with life, uh, with the dating. No Rom-Com without “Love Interest”, the conservative rules of the Gene, which has adapted its image of women over the decades of reality, are the search for “Mr. Right “stubborn.

Hugh Grant gives Playboy Daniel Cleaver

Publisher-Playboy Daniel Cleaver is not an option as a widow roaster. He has now achieved an asexual status in the Bridget universe. In view of the galloping weathering of the old heavy slicer Cleaver, the relative seizure of Zellweger stands out twice as strongly. Hugh Grant would have had it done!

So he has nothing to oppose Roxster (Leo Woodall), the crispy boy Ranger from Hampstead Heath, to fall directly from the tree like a ripe plum from the tree.

May “aging” Renée Zellweger in a typical Hollywood, her permanent grin and her guy trudge with whom she plowed through London, she shows as a comedian. Even with an unsuccessful embellishment measure, which gives her a few inflatable boat lips from the thickest, the grimacifying, lisping Zellweger is not easy. At “Bridget Jones” there is always children’s birthday, everything is nicely crazy.

Colin Firth appears as a faded

And self -referential. From Bridget’s red penguin pyjamas, in which she brings the kids to school, to the Winter Wonderland, which this time decorates the circle closing on New Year’s Eve (experts know that part 1 begins on Christmas morning). And further out to the wet shirt scene, in which Colin Firth as “Mr. Darcy ”in a BBC adaptation of“ pride and prejudice ”a pond and which is now reserved for Bridgets Lover Boy Roxster.

Speaking of Colin Firth: It also appears clearly visible as a faded. And apparently Bridget’s other candidates for the position of the man at her side: the physics teacher Walliker (Chiwetel EjioFor).

As it should be for a good comedy, wit and sentiment first keep the scales, Bridget Jones was always good for quick cuts, driving feel-good pop and a few coarse boots. This time the gags are more compatible, but the sugar factor increases in the second hour on the kitsch scale open upwards.

The theme of the loss of husbands and fathers and that of the transience, which is transported by the physiognomies bridgets and their posse, make “crazy about him” a veritable tear puller. It is moving to see your own heroines age.
