Daniel finds Bridget at the beach in a euphoric state of mind and invites her up to his room. While in Thailand, Bridget's friend Shazzer who has accompanied her on the trip meets a very attractive young man named Jed who has a love of hallucinogenic mushrooms which he slips into Bridget's food. On the plane Daniel saves her from the rigors of coach class by bringing her into first class with him and explains that he is no longer a skirt chaser and that she was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Reluctantly Bridget accepts a project working with Daniel on a piece in Thailand. On the way home Bridget admonishes Mark for never sticking up for her in front of his pompous friends and then leaves. At dinner she begins to feel that she is out of Mark's league and that she is nothing more than an embarrassment to him. Bridget manages to arrive late in a state of disarray and insults some of his coworkers. The next week Mark invites Bridget to a very important dinner given by the firm.
Seeing that she is under stress Mark invites her on a weekend ski getaway but as soon as they arrive we discover two things - Bridget has lied about her skiing ability and Rebecca is also there. She goes to his house to confront him and after climbing the ledge to peek into the window she falls from the roof into the bushes and is then greeted at the door by Rebecca who lets her in to the house only to find that Mark is having a meeting with some associates. Her friends convince her that he is having an affair with the very attractive Rebecca who works at the law firm. Not willing to be content with bliss, she becomes suspicious of Mark when he cancels their dinner date one evening. Afraid that her boss is upset over her clumsiness, she is summoned to his office only to learn that Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) now works for the station too and that her boss wants them to team up on some travel pieces for the network. After falling out of the plane and almost forgetting to pull the rip cord she finally lands safely in a pen filled with pigs.

Bridget also has a successful career in television where she is an on air personality for the tabloid TV show "Sit Up, Britain." As we join her she is in the midst of filming a story requiring her to sky dive over the country side. She is losing weight, has quit smoking (at least as far as her boyfriend is concerned), and she is in a completely fulfilling relationship with barrister Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Things are looking up for our heroine since we last saw her. It is another year in the life of Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger).The Edge Of Reason is rather blunt.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. It's testament to Zellweger's likeability and skill that the film is still enjoyable, but it lacks the element of surprise. It has become harder to see the attraction of Jones: the character has become something of a cartoon. The trouble is that in the original, these faux pas were endearing. The script shows a keen sense for social embarrassment, whether Bridget is revealing intimate thoughts on speakerphone or insulting blue-blooded Tories. In contrast, Grant once again steals every scene he's in - his old school cad IS cheeky, shameless, and gleefully un-PC (never mind another Diary: how about Daniel Cleaver's Journal?). An actor whose considerable abilities were showcased in Trauma is given a character so repressed and uptight, you don't want him to get the girl. It highlights how silly and trivial our heroine is being, and makes the film feel silly and trivial, too.Īnd you have to feel for Firth. The battered prostitutes around her exclaim, "What your bad boyfriend do?", which puts her problems into perspective but is an unbalancing reminder of non-romantic comedy reality. The low point is surely a stopover in a Thai jail where - for reasons not worth going into - Bridget bemoans her rocky relationship with Mark. It's just a pity her performance isn't matched by any originality in the script, which recycles the first Diary's jokes and flashpoints - the fight, the silly jumpers, the big pants - to diminishing effect. The American star once again excels as the British everygirl torn between the dashing Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and dependable Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). An amiable sequel to a popular hit, Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason coasts on the charisma of Renée Zellweger.
