Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy review

They've saved the best till last.

Siobhan McNally, The Mirror, 12th February 2025

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is a riot of hilarious silliness

There's little about Mad About The Boy which is original, but good old-fashioned bawdy humour and pratfalls are rare in cinema these days.

It's a riot of silliness that sticks two fingers up at anyone worrying about men being "objectified".

Granny pants and situationships: Lessons Bridget Jones taught me in my 20s

Bridget Jones - the "frazzled Englishwoman" look is back

The character and her "absolutely enormous pants" return to the silver screen in Mad About The Boy.

Carola Long, The Financial Times, 8th February 2025

Bridget Jones is a welcome reminder of a much more comfortable era

She worried about her drinking, smoking and weight - but there was never any doubt she would have a job and be able to pay her rent. It's a very different world for gen Z.

Zoe Williams, The Guardian, 3rd February 2025

Is it time to stop bashing Bridget Jones? Hapless everywoman has evolved - and so have we

A fourth film about Helen Fielding's creation will be released on Valentines's day, and this time it's gen Z that has fallen in love with her.
