Right, so, Bridget Jones, eh? Back for another round of wine-guzzling, diary-scribbling, love-life disasters. Twenty-three years, the woman hasn’t aged a day, has she? Must be all that Chardonnay keeping her youthful.
( stares blankly )
Personally, I wouldn’t call getting shagged by Colin Firth then being widowed "a singletons life". Sounds more like ‘living the bloody dream’ to me.
( makes exaggerated sighing noise)
But alright, fair play to Renée Zellweger, she’s committed to this role. Who’d have thought a Texan could nail the accent of a tipsy middle-class Brit so convincingly, eh?
I mean, all these new actors trying to muscle in on the action – Leo Woodall, some posh boy from ‘The White Lotus’. He’ll be playing the love interest, no doubt. Hopefully he’s better at love than he was at remembering his lines.
( starts mimicking Woodall’s accents, making it hilariously bad )
"Oh, you Bridget, you’re so quirky and… clumsy. Why don’t we, like, go to Glastonbury and Vomit on each other?" *
It’s all a bit predictable, isn’t it? Bridget falls for the wrong guy, hilarity ensues, maybe there’s a musical montage with a Celine Dion soundtrack. Then, just when you think all hope is lost, she finds true love with either Chiwetel Ejiofor or the lad who looks like he just escaped from a boy band. Classic rom-com formula, mate, nothing to see here.
( shrugs dramatically)
Still, I’ll probably watch it. Who doesn’t love a good chuckle at someone else’s misery, eh? Just don’t expect me to shed a tear when Mark Darcy’s disembodied voice croons from beyond the grave. Get a grip, Bridget.
Note: Feel free to expand on the humour and add more references specific to the individual comedians mentioned.
When the Bazaar team heard at the beginning of this year that there was a fourth Bridget Jonesfilm was in the making, we couldn’t believe our luck. After 23 years, Renée Zellweger returns to the role of Jones, and that can only mean laughing, screeching and roaring. Although after watching the new trailer we also know that there will be tears. The trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is finally here. We’ll tell you all about it.
Also read: The trailer of ‘The White Lotus’ 3 is here and now we can’t wait anymore.
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy
The recordings of Bridget Jones 4 started in May. In addition to Zellweger, Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, as do Sarah Solemani as Miranda and Jim Broadbent as Bridget’s father – just to name a few. We also welcome a number of new faces, such as none other than Leo Woodall (!), known from the hit series The White Lotus in One Day.
Bridget Jones 4 trailer
In the trailer of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy we see how Bridget is now a single mother in her fifties. Her great love, Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, has passed away, but his memories remain vivid. This is how we hear his voice during the trailer. Four years after his death, Bridget opens up to love again. But whether with the school teacher Mr. Wallaker, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, or with the 29-year-old Roxster, played by Leo Woodall, is still unclear. We also see familiar faces, such as friends Shazzer, Jude and Tom, and Bridget’s doctor Dr. Rawlings, played by Emma Thompson. The romcom can be seen in Dutch cinemas from February 14. Until then, we can dream away at the images below.

What is the critical reception of Renée Zellweger’s performance in the new Bridget Jones film?
## Interview with a Guest on the New Bridget Jones Film
**Host:** Alright, let’s talk Bridget Jones. Back for another round, are we? Wine, diary, disaster – the trifecta! Twenty-three years and the woman hasn’t aged a day. Must be all that Chardonnay, eh?
**(Guest stares blankly)**
**Host:** Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the trailers – Bridget’s back navigating life as a… well, a fifty-something singleton. Though personally, I wouldn’t call getting wooed by Colin Firth then tragically widowed a “single life.” Sounds more like ”living the bloody dream” to me!
**(Guest makes an exaggerated sighing noise)**
**Host:** Fair play to Renée Zellweger, though, right? Committed to the role. Who’d have thought a Texan could nail the accent of a tipsy middle-class Brit so convincingly?
**Guest:** It’s uncanny! Like stocking a Texan grocery store with tea, crumpets and dry wit.
**Host:** Exactly! But now there’s a new love interest on the scene – Leo Woodall, you might know him from “The White Lotus”. Apparently, he’s set to sweep our girl off her feet. I just hope he’s better at love than he was at lines in that show, eh? *(Both chuckle)*
**(Guest starts mimicking Woodall’s accent in a hilariously bad fashion):**
**Guest:** ”Oh you, Bridget, you’re so quirky and… clumsy. Why don’t we, like, go to Glastonbury and… vomit on each other?”
**(Both erupt into fits of laughter)**
**Host:** See, predictable? Classic Bridget Jones formula: sheeit falls for the wrong guy, hilarity ensues. Maybe there’s a Celine Dion montage… you know the drill. Classic rom-com.
**(Guest shrugs dramatically)**
**Host:** Still, I’ll likely watch it. Who can resist a good chuckle at someone else’s misery? Though, don’t expect me to shed a tear when Mark Darcy’s disembodied voice croons from beyond the grave. Get a grip, Bridget! [[1](https://deadline.com/feature/bridget-jones-4-release-date-everything-we-know-1236061435/)]
