In 2001, the world was gifted Bridget Jones's Diary, starring Renée Zellweger as the titular Bridget Jones, and took its place in the hallowed halls of rom-com history. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth installment, sees the return of Zellweger's Bridget who, over 20 years later, is back where she started, looking for love. The similarities more or less end there. This isn't the freewheeling Bridget we've come to know, but thanks to Zellweger, she has her own charm. Mad About the Boy doesn't hit the marks of a Bridget Jones film, but it's a perfectly respectable final act.
