BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY || VOSE

Bridget Jones came to life on bookshelves with Helen Fielding’s literary phenomenon, Bridget Jones’s Diary, which became a best-selling novel and, shortly afterwards, a hit movie. As a young single woman living in London, Bridget Jones didn’t just offer the world her romantic adventures, she also added a whole new set of words to our vocabulary. Bridget’s resilience in the face of adversity led her to marry the well-known lawyer Mark Darcy and become the mother of a beautiful baby boy. She had finally achieved happiness.But in Bridget Jones: Crazy About Him, Bridget is alone after being widowed four years ago when Mark died during a humanitarian mission in Sudan. The mother of nine-year-old Billy and four-year-old Mabel, she finds herself in a kind of emotional limbo as she cares for the children with the help of her best friends and a former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).

Pressured by her urbane family of Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her co-worker, Miranda, her mother, and her gynaecologist, Dr Rawlings (Oscar-winner Emma Thompson), she feels compelled to take an interest in life and love. She works again and even tries a dating app, through which she meets a dreamer younger than her. Working woman, housewife, mother and in love, Bridget faces the judgement of perfect mothers at school, worries about Billy, who can’t quite get used to not having a father, and has a strange relationship with her son’s very rational science teacher.
