She’s sweet though and she’s funny and she offsets Darcy’s stuffiness in a neatly symmetrical opposites attract way. Bridget isn’t the smartest girl or the prettiest girl or the thinnest girl but she still wins Prince Charming. The massive appeal of the character from the books and the first film isn’t that difficult to understand. Hugh Grant rears his scaly head as former paramour Daniel Cleaver and a song and dance routine breaks out in a Thai prison. Bridget feeds her insecurities by stuffing her face drinking like a sailor and then slurring insults at whatever passing character will provide the maximum of shame and embarrassment. His slinky secretary ( Jacinda Barrett) flirts ominously. He chastises her for it grumpily she apologizes and then she freaks out thinking that he will break up with her. In the short span of four weeks together Bridget and Darcy have already become the couple that don’t speak. She has already climbed her highest mountain and dreamed her impossible dream she has her soulmate Mark Darcy ( Colin Firth) all wrapped up in a little bow and yet the movie keeps going. The two novels, which have sold more than 15 million copies and are published in 40 different countries, were adapted for the big screen into successful films starring Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.The story arc of Bridget Jones Part Deux is identical to the first except for one little detail: Instead of trying to find a man Bridget Jones ( Renee Zellweger) worries about losing the one she’s got. The sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, arrived in 1999. “I hope people will have as much fun reading it as I am writing it.”įielding’s first book, Bridget Jones’ Diary, was published in 1996 and is credited with launching the chick lit phenomenon.
“My life has moved on and Bridget’s will move on, too,” Fielding said earlier this year. Here is what we can share: The novel is set in present-day London Bridget is older she is still keeping a diary, but she is also immersed in texting and experimenting with social media, with an accent on “social.”
Mad About the Boy represents a totally new phase in Bridget’s life, as Fielding has indicated when she said “Bridget’s life has moved on.” But, the question is, just how much?
Knopf Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Sonny Mehta said, “I’m thrilled to report she’s back and in familiar fettle. The publisher has also be circumspect about the story as well. A text is gone at the brush of a fingertip, like a nuclear bomb or exocet missile.įielding is being coy about who the eponymous “boy” in the title is. If it was the days of letter-writing, I would never even have started to find his address, a pen, a piece of paper, an envelope, a stamp, and gone outside at 11.30p.m. You see, this is the trouble with the modern world.
