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.

– Does the return of the Bridget Jones franchise indicate a broader resurgence of interest in romantic comedies?
## Bridget Jones is Back: A Rom-Com Resurgence?
**(Host):** Welcome back to the show! Today we’re diving into the chaotic world of Bridget Jones with our guest, comedian [Guest Name].
**(Guest):** (Laughs)
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.
**(Host):**
It’s incredible, isn’t it? What do you make of her enduring appeal?
**(Guest):** (Stares blankly for comedic effect)
Personally, I wouldn’t call getting it on with Colin Firth then being hopelessly widowed “a singleton’s life.” Sounds more like “living the bloody dream” to me.
**(Host):**
**(Laughing)** Fair point! But you have to admire Renée Zellweger’s commitment to the role. That Texan nailed the accent of a tipsy middle-class Brit, didn’t she?
**(Guest):**
Absolutely! Who’d have thought it? It’s almost as impressive as [mention a relevant comedian’s accent work, e.g., Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat]. Speaking of accents, they’ve got this new guy, Leo Woodall, from “The White Lotus,” playing the love interest. Hopefully, he’s learned his lines this time!
**(Host):**
(Laughing)
Oh, you think he’ll be channeling his inner “The White Lotus” character?
**(Guest):**
Imagine him trying to woo Bridget with lines like: “Oh, you Bridget, you’re so quirky and… clumsy. Why don’t we, like, go to Glastonbury and Vomit on each other?” *(Makes exaggerated posh-boy accent*)
**(Host):**
(Laughing) It’s a recipe for disaster, isn’t it?
**(Guest):**
Predictable as ever, isn’t it? Bridget falls for the wrong guy, hilarity ensues, maybe a Celine Dion power ballad kicks in. Then boom, right when all hope is lost, she finds true love with either Chiwetel Ejiofor or the one who looks like he’s auditioning for a boy band. Classic rom-com formula. Nothing wrong with a bit of comforting predictability. It’s like a warm, slightly embarrassing hug.
**(Host):**
Well, I think we know you’ll be glued to the screen when it comes out.
**(Guest):**
Oh, definitely. Who doesn’t love a bit of schadenfreude with their popcorn? Just don’t expect me to shed a tear when Mark Darcy’s disembodied voice serenades her from beyond the grave. Get a grip, Bridget!
**(Host):**
Well said! That’s all the time we have, thanks for joining us, [Guest Name]!
