BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY
Saturday 21st March 2025 7.30pm
"New Decade. New Diary."
After jumping back into the dating pool, single mother Bridget Jones finds herself caught between a younger man and her son’s science teacher. The much anticipated last of four Bridget Jones films.
In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark (Oscar® winner Colin Firth) 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 (Oscar® winner 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 (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall).
A bittersweet romp about new beginnings with another sparkling turn by Renée Zellweger, Mad About the Boy is more poignant than the previous films and gracefully closes the book on Bridget Jones' diary." Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus
