Shahid Online – Mad About The Boy marks a new chapter for Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) after three films filled with the rollercoaster of love and heartbreak. She finally finds happiness with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), but as we all know, forever is never really forever. In an unexpected twist of fate, Bridget faces the painful reality of losing Mark. Once again, Bridget Jones returns to square one.
Unlike the first film that came out 24 years ago, Bridget Jones is not alone this time. She now has two children, Billy (Casper Knopf) and Mabel (Mila Jankovic). For the past four years since Mark’s death, Bridget has been running on autopilot, solely focusing on her children’s well-being and avoiding any thoughts of her own love life. Romance, let alone her sex life, is the furthest thing from her mind.
But with some gentle nudging from her friends, Bridget decides to dip her toes back into the dating world by joining a dating app. Slowly but surely, her once monochrome life starts to get some color again especially when a young, charming man named Roxster (Leo Woodall) shakes things up.
For those who feel like the plot of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy resembles And Just Like That (the sequel of Sex and the City), you’re not alone. Both iconic characters embark on a journey of finding true love, only to face the harsh reality that their true loves have passed away.
However, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy stands out because it allows its protagonist to mature and navigate life with a newfound sense of responsibility. Unlike most romantic comedies that hesitate to let characters evolve, this sequel places Bridget in a challenging position that forces her to grow. The film avoids the frustration of keeping Bridget stuck in the same mindset as when she was younger, and instead, she is portrayed as a grown woman, facing real-life struggles.

The beauty of this sequel lies in Bridget’s maturity and how her journey resonates with audiences who have watched her evolve over the years. Renée Zellweger’s portrayal is heartfelt and deeply authentic. Despite the smile on her face, you can still feel the lingering sadness and grief Bridget carries from the loss of Mark. Zellweger’s seamless navigation between grief, motherhood, and work showcases how complex and multi-faceted her character has become.
True to its genre, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy doesn’t skimp on the romance. Leo Woodall brings charm and energy as the handsome young man who captures Bridget’s attention. Their playful chemistry, especially in a memorable swimming pool scene, will leave viewers grinning. Meanwhile, Chiwetel Ejiofor adds a new layer to the love triangle, offering an intriguing contrast as Bridget’s other love interest. The dynamics between the two men make the romantic choices all the more exciting.
The film also brings back beloved characters from the previous films, including Hugh Grant and Bridget’s best friend, making the movie feel like a reunion for fans of the series. Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is a must-watch for romantic comedy enthusiasts and fans of the iconic character.
Even for those who haven’t watched the previous Bridget Jones films, this sequel remains an enjoyable watch. It’s lighthearted, unpretentious, and delightfully charming. Making it the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone who’s ready to fall in love with Bridget all over again.
