‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ Review: Renée Zellweger Charms in What Feels Like a Sweetly Romantic but Mild Finale
I wish "Mad About the Boy" took more aggressive fun in plugging Bridget into the fads and tropes of the present day. The movie, by design, has a sentimental middle-aged softness to it. It’s the first "Bridget Jones" movie to be released on a streaming platform (in this case, Peacock; that’s right, no theatrical), and it’s also the first one that feels like it belongs there.
