Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a forthcoming movie starring Renee Zellweger.
Synopsis: In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget (Zellweger) is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
Pressured by her Urban Family — Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson) – to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (Leo Woodall). Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Michael Morris, from a screenplay by BAFTA nominee Helen Fielding – based on her novel, with contributions from Emmy winner Abi Morgan, and Oscar nominee Dan Mazer.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is released on February 14th 2025, and we’ll be reviewing this nearer the time.
