Bridget Jones's Baby (Bridget Jones's Baby)

A romantic comedy
(UK, 2016)
Directed by: Sharon Maguire. Cast: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Emma Thompson, Shirley Henderson, Celia Imrie, Jim Broadbent, James Callis, Sally Phillips, Gemma Jones.

Bridget Jones, the confused thirty-year-old who became a cultural phenomenon at the turn of the millennium, is returning to the big screen after almost two decades of silence. And this in style, because this eternal love seeker and ideal weight "hunter" is pregnant. The titular heroine (also this time portrayed by Renée Zellweger) is no longer thirty years old and has now entered her forties, and her fairytale ending seems further away with every moment, and not closer than she wants. She is still single, torn between two men, and has not heard of marriage. Everything as before, with an important difference. Bridget Jones is pregnant.
