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.

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.

How has Bridget Jones handled the passage of time in terms of career, personal growth, or lifestyle choices within the latest movie installment?
## Back for More Chardonnay and Catastrophes: A Bridget Jones Update
**Host:** Welcome back to the show, folks! Today we’re diving headfirst into the news that Bridget Jones is back, dusting off her diary for another round of romantic misadventures.
Joining us to dissect the latest Bridget Jones developments is our resident cinema guru, [Guest Name]!
**Guest:** Thanks for having me! This news is almost as shocking as Bridget successfully making a souffle on the first try.
**Host:** (chuckles) Now, 23 years have passed since the original film. It feels like a lifetime ago Bridget was wobbling on those platforms and guzzling Chardonnay. How do you think she’s held up?
**Guest:** Well, time might fly, but apparently, it stands still for our dear Bridget. We’re told she’s still caught in the same romantic whirlwind, just with maybe a few more wrinkles around the eyes. They say age is just a number, and for Bridget, that number must be frozen in a vat of Chardonnay somewhere.
**Host:** You’re not wrong! And speaking of love, what’s the latest gossip on the love front? Mark Darcy’s ghost isn’t enough to keep her warm, is it?
**Guest:** Rumour has it we’ve got a new hunky contender in town – Leo Woodall, fresh off “The White Lotus.” Apparently, he’s quite the charmer, although we’ll have to see if he can handle Bridget’s brand of chaos. Let’s be honest though; every romantic comedy needs a leading man with vacant eyes and a questionable past, right? [Guest makes exaggerated sighing noise, mimicking Woodall] *”Oh, Bridget, you’re so quirky and clumsy. Why don’t we drown our sorrows in lukewarm Sauvignon Blanc and questionable life choices?”*
**Host:** (laughs)
That’s our Bridger, constantly making the wrong choices!
**Guest:**
It’s what we love about her! Predictable, maybe.
Enjoyable? Definitely. Who doesn’t want to see Bridget trip over her own feet and spend the weekend sobbing over another cup of instant mashed potato?
It sounds like classic rom-com formula, complete with cheesy montage soundtracks and maybe even a Celine Dion tear-jerker thrown in for good measure.
**Host:** And Renée Zellweger? She’s still dipping her toes in those wellies, right?
**Guest:** Oh, absolutely. She fully embodies the awkward, endearing Bridget.
**Host:** Well, there you have it, folks. Another Bridget Jones film on the horizon.
**Guest:**
Just remember, grab the tissues and your favorite bottle of Chardonnay for maximum enjoyment.
