Straight Edge Life

I was in a good mood last night and ready to supplement my mood with a funny movie. So let me tell you this first; I loved the first Bridget Jones. It was darkly funny, oddly reassuring and just generally a good time. After watching it I felt like my life, my dating life, could always be worse and any social weirdness I’ve ever felt is miniscule when compared with that blundering, lovable goof, Bridget.

The second movie, which I saw last night, was a huge disappointment. I can sum Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason very simply: B O R I N G. Canned, predictable, contrived and just generally blah. Sequels should measure up. This didn’t. Not even for Bridget faithfuls. My advice is to skip it.
