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.

Do audiences welcome Bridget’s return after 23 years?
## Bridget Jones is Back, Babes!
[Host gestures enthusiastically to guest seated opposite them]
**Host:** Welcome back to the show! Today we’re dissecting the highly anticipated return of everyone’s favorite singleton, Bridget Jones! Joining me is [Guest Name], a film critic with a penchant for all things rom-com and a healthy skepticism of Englishmen named Daniel.
[Both laugh]
**Host:** So, [Guest Name], Bridget’s back after 23 years. Aging like fine wine, wouldn’t you say?
**Guest:** 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. [[1](https://screenrant.com/bridget-jones-mad-about-the-boy-filming-wrap-release-window-revealed/)]
[Guest pretends to take a swig from an imaginary glass of wine]
**Guest:** Personally, I wouldn’t call getting shagged by Colin Firth then being widowed “a singleton’s life”. Sounds more like ‘living the bloody dream’ to me.
[Both laugh]
**Host:** You’ve got a point there! But Renée Zellweger’s commitment to the role is admirable – a Texan nailing that tipsy, middle-class Brit accent?
**Guest:** Who’d have thought? Now, we’ve got a new love interest played by Leo Woodall. Now, I’m not saying he’s a bad actor, but remember that whole remembering-his-lines debacle on “The White Lotus”?
[Makes exaggerated shrugging gesture]
**Guest:** Hopefully, he’s brushed up on his script!
**Host:** Predictable plot, classic rom-com tropes— I love it!
**Guest:** It’s all a bit cliché, isn’t it? Bridget falls for the wrong guy, hilarity ensues, maybe a Celine Dion montage… then boom, she finds true love with Chiwetel Ejiofor or, I dunno, someone who looks like he escaped a boy band.
**Host:** Sounds like a recipe for success, right?
**Guest:** Oh, I’ll be there opening weekend, popcorn in hand. Who doesn’t love a good chuckle at someone else’s misfortunes?
**Host:** And maybe a touch of mascara tinged with tears when Mark Darcy’s disembodied voice croons from beyond the grave?
**Guest:** Nah, get a grip, Bridget.
[Both burst into laughter]
**Host:** Thanks for the laughs, [Guest Name]!
