Then Bridget had to go to Thailand on an assignment. She finds out
that her old boyfriend Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) is also there. Daniel
is a nasty person that Bridget never wanted to see again. With a series
of misadventures, Bridget ends up in the Thai jail where she is confined
with a few other local women. Now she falls back into the arms of Daniel
and the story becomes completely ridiculous. You have to find out for
yourself whether Bridget finally found true love.
Director Beeban Kidron, does a poor job in making this sequel. He
takes random ideas and uninteresting elements from the first film and
tries to make a successful sequel. The end result turns out to be a
silly movie with lots of pointless incidents which has no correlation
to each other. Renee Zellweger as Bridget puts up an excellent performance.
Portraying Bridget's desperate hopefulness and enduring optimism, she
correlates with many women of everyday life. Definitely she is very
endearing. Colin Firth is absolutely gorgeous as the good guy and Hugh
Grant does justice to his role as a nasty man. Well known cast including
Zellweger, Firth and Grant practically saves the movie from being a
total disaster. This film has a very unimaginative story and has no
comparison with the delightful first film.
We rate this movie Below Average.
