Tonight we went to see Bridget
Jones: The Edge of Reason -- it was quite good. In fact, I
think I actually liked it better than the first
one. Though maybe that was because I had read (listened to) the
first book before seeing the first movie, whereas I haven't read the
second book. I dunno.
I thought I'd heard something about how in the second book, she meets
Colin Firth, and that, what with Colin Firth playing Mark Darcy, they
had actually worked Colin Firth as himself into the movie as well.
Turns out in fact they just left that part of the book out. Not sure
where I heard that though.
Oh, come to think of it, I do have a complaint though. I think
Bridget's ineptitude is meant to be endearing -- I certainly find it
so (though in real life, I'm not sure I would), and I think in the
first movie Mark Darcy seemed to. But this time he seemed more to
love her in spite of her ineptitude, and to be more frustrated or
annoyed by it. Which was kind of too bad.
Regardless, my recommendation is basically just that if you liked the
first one, you'll probably like this one too.
