Title: A poor follow-up to the wonderful Bridget Jones' Diary
Review: After reading the sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary, I was less than thrilled. Helen Fielding's second round with the singleton was not up to par with her first book. The same goes with the movie. I can pop in the first Bridget DVD anytime. It's hilarious, sweet, and as charming as any Austen adaptation should be; not so with the Edge of Reason. The movie is not funny in any sense of the word. The watcher sees poor Bridget go through one humiliating experience after another, and then there's the whole Thailand debacle. What is this, Brokedown Palace? I can safely say, though, that because of the many horrible changes/additions in the movie that were not in the book, I have a newfound respect for the novel. But what worries me is Fielding had a hand in writing the screenplay for Reason. All I can say is what was she thinking? I suggest reading the book, never the watching the movie, and for everyone to consider Bridget Jones' Diary the only movie!
