The Bridget Jones saga returns to the silver screen with Bridget Jones: Mad About Him, a new romantic comedy that promises to plunge fans back into the hilarious and touching misadventures of the unforgettable British spinster. Directed by Michael Morris and scripted by Helen Fielding, Abi Morgan and Dan Mazer, this new opus follows a more mature Bridget, now in her fifties, as she navigates her responsibilities as a mother and her search for love after the death of her husband, Mark Darcy. Returning to its piquant humor and outrageous situations, this film is a return to its roots that will appeal to long-time fans, while tackling themes of adulthood and second chances.
Bridget Jones : Folle de lui will be released on February 12, 2025.
Synopsis: At the age of fifty-two, Bridget is juggling her life as a mother of two, the mourning of her beloved Mark Darcy, and an explosive return to the dating scene. As goofy, funny and touching as ever, she embarks on a new quest for love, where age is just a number, and adventures a way of life.
It's time to break out the big knickers and the bottle of wine, Bridget is back! Nine years after Bridget Jones Baby, the most irresistible of single women returns in Bridget Jones: Folle de Lui. But this time, the infernal love triangle is over: she's back in her fifties, mother of two, widowed four years ago after the tragic disappearance of Mark Darcy, alias Colin Firth (RIP Christmas sweaters), and totally lost in a society where parenthood is a competitive sport. Between the school's perfect mothers and an over-efficient babysitter who almost gives her a complex, Bridget tries to stay afloat... Fortunately, her faithful sidekicks Jude, Sharon and Tom are on the lookout: it's time to wake up the Bridget in search of passion!
Goodbye gloomy bachelorhood, welcome to the dating jungle of 2025! As Bridget 2.0 tries her hand at dating apps, she stumbles across Roxter, aka Leo Woodall (Love Actually), on a walk in the park with her children. He's a so-British Apollo, a real flesh-and-blood fantasy who just might rekindle the flame. Unless Mr. Wallaker(Chiwetel Ejiofor), his serious principal, turns out to be more interesting than just his whistle? The icing on the pudding is the Hugh Grant effect, when Daniel Cleaver, history's most unclassifiable ex, resurfaces as an old beau, now a borderline uncle to the Darcy minis.
With Bridget Jones : Folle de Lui, Michael Morris doesn't revolutionize the recipe, but he serves it up with irresistible energy. We go from laughter to tears in the blink of an eye (and waterproof mascara). This fourth instalment of the rom-com retains everything that makes Bridget Jones so special: a goofball heroine who's out of her depth, but as sunny as ever. Unsurprisingly, the peppy, iconic soundtrack fits every Bridget moment. If the plot drags a little before a slightly rushed finale, we're forgiven, as the film pampers us like a plaid-pyjama party with girlfriends. Reuniting with the queen of misunderstandings is like seeing an old friend you adore: Bridget Jones is eternal, and we love her just as much as ever!
