Absolutely not. I went to see the third one and thought it was awful.

Runningincircles · 06/02/2025 22:17

I'm going to see it next Friday. I think it will be great. It is based on Helen Fielding's book, whereas Bridget Jones's Baby was just a film.

Anyway, I'm excited to be going to see it. It's probably the first night out I'll have this year.

I’ll see it but having seen the billboard for the film on numerous buses this week I’m a bit worried they’ve blanded out the Roxster character and, in these slightly puritanical and woke times, toned down the sexual attraction between him and the (much older) Bridget.

Ooh, I've just gone on mat leave while awaiting the arrival of baby no 2. Wonder if I could squeeze in a showing on one of DD's nursery days before baby arrives 😆

No! Last one was dreadful. I can't see how they've drawn it out. Also RZ's high pitch wine drills through me.

EarlierDistraction · 07/02/2025 18:19

Yes, have arranged to go with a group of friends, looking forward to it. We saw the last one together.

DemonicCaveMaggot · 07/02/2025 18:23

If it had Jason Statham and/or a shark in it I would.

But it doesn't.

So I won't.

MsMonique · 07/02/2025 18:25

Yes, I love Bridget

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 07/02/2025 18:28

I'll watch it but on a rainy Sunday on the TV in my PJs, I won't make the effort needed to see it in the cinema

fatandtrying · 07/02/2025 18:30

I can't wait! but then again my cinema card burns a hole in my pocket atm with all the shit films out lately

Bridget jones baby is a book! I’ve got it on my shelf!

HelloMyNameIsElderSmurf · 07/02/2025 18:39

100%. The last film was shite but it wasn't based on a Bridget book, it was a filler. The book this is based on is Fielding's best imo, and I am really looking forward to seeing the film.

Jason Statham would definitely get me there, with/without a shark!

MaloryJones · 07/02/2025 18:46

No

Watched the second two and part of the 3rd one and it was all pretty samey.

Danikm151 · 07/02/2025 18:49

Yes - going with my mom.
also going to reread the book next week 🙂

LadyKenya · 07/02/2025 18:50

No. The advert for it did nothing for me. I do not care to see it. I do think Renee was perfectly cast as Bridget though.

Tomatocutwithazigzagedge · 07/02/2025 19:03

Yes going with friends next week. Looking forward to a bit of light entertainment!

wanttokickoffbutcant · 07/02/2025 19:04

Yep - got tickets for me and my daughter for Thursday.

CrushingOnRubies · 07/02/2025 20:01

I'll watch it but probably wait until it's on Netflix or wherever.

BiggerBoat1 · 07/02/2025 20:06

God no. Looks hideous.

ProfessorLeveretGrey · 07/02/2025 20:09

I don't think so. I loved the first one when it came out but since then came to think it was trite formulaic rubbish. I'm 52 now and think I have grown up- but BJ hasn't.

BotterMon · 07/02/2025 20:10

Yep - a group of us are going. If it's crap so what, we'll still have a laugh in the bar afterwards.

Olika · 07/02/2025 20:11

Will go but not too bothered about it. Will be good to have a child free evening for once.

MercuryRising · 07/02/2025 20:12

Yes I'm going with DP on Valentine's day 🥰
