After they return home, Bridget and Mark have lunch with both of their parents. While on the holiday, Bridget thinks she's pregnant after an argument concerning the future of children, the pregnancy test proves negative. Once on the slopes, she learns Rebecca recommended the vacation spot to Mark.

Later in the night, Mark asks Bridget if she'd like to go on a ski holiday in Vorarlberg, Austria. Mark goes to Bridget's apartment, apologizes, and tells her he loves her for the first time. Bridget is delighted when Mark invites her to the 'Law Council Dinner', assuming he will propose afterwards, but the night does not end well.Īfter the 'Law Council Dinner', Mark and Bridget have an argument and she walks away from him. Bridget initially refuses, declaring that Daniel Cleaver a 'deceitful, sexist, disgusting specimen of humanity'. Bridget meets her ex, Daniel Cleaver ( Hugh Grant), at her job for Sit-Up Britain and is offered a position as the 'Smooth Guidess'. However, Bridget's confidence in her relationship is shattered when she meets Mark's colleague, the beautiful Rebecca Gillies ( Jacinda Barrett). Bridget ( Renée Zellweger) is ecstatic about her relationship with Mark Darcy ( Colin Firth). Though the star still has her charms, and some of Bridget's social gaffes are amusing, the film is mired in low comedy-a sequence in a Thai women's prison is more offensive than outrageous-with only Grant's rakish mischief to pull it out of the swamp.The film begins shortly before Bridget's mother's ( Gemma Jones) annual Turkey Curry Buffet.

Director Beeban Kidron and her screenwriters-all four of them!-are content to sink matters into slapstick, with chunky Zellweger (who's unflatteringly photographed) the literal butt of all jokes. Now she's fallen deeply in love and out of her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating on her with that slim, bright young thing from the law office? Will the reappearance of dashing cad Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) further spell the end of her self-confidence when they're shoved off to Thailand together for a TV travel story? If such questions also seem pressing to you, this sequel will be fairly painless, but you shouldn't expect anything fresh.

She is, as you'll remember, no longer a 'singleton,' having snagged stuffy but gallant Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at the end of the 2001 film. Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few weeks have passed in her world.
