Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a touching look at grief and a charming romantic-comedy. The former is excellent, and the latter is pretty standard (which is to say, still fairly excellent). The cast has evidently lived with these characters for years, especially Renée Zellweger in the titular role, and they naturally intermingle the whimsical romantic elements with the familial themes surrounding death, not to mention the ever-evolving internal conflicts that aging presents. Chiwetel Ejiofor’s addition also doesn’t hurt to present the humorous and the heavy in very endearing ways. Four entries in, and Bridget Jones still had plenty left to say.

Even if you’re not in Bridget Jones’ target audience, you don’t have to be to enjoy this franchise for the witty and endearing rom-coms they are (minus The Edge of Reason, of course). This remains true of the series’ fourth entry, Mad About the Boy, which is additionally thoughtful in its exploration of rediscovering yourself after loss. Renée Zellweger and Hugh Grant remain as charming as ever, while new faces like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall also shine. As far as (possible) final chapters go, it’s one that should leave fans perfectly satisfied.
