‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ review: A cougar roars in funny, touching movie

nypost.com:

Running time: 124 minutes. Rated R (language and some sexual references).Cheers to Renee Zellweger, who for 24 years has given us the greatest romantic-comedy heroine of the millennium.Back in 2001, her casting as Bridget Jones, author Helen Fielding’s intensely relatable English klutz beloved by Brits, caused an uproar.

An American as Bridget?! Outrageous.But Zellweger proved perfect as the vodka-soaked Londoner in her 32nd year of being single.

The actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for that performance, still is, four presidents and eight prime ministers later.

Bridget, meanwhile, has remained her lovably imperfect self.The actress closes the diary with “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the fourth and likely final chapter of the film series.
