From a new concept movie (Sky Captain) to a new movie based on an old concept. I?m sure we?ve all seen the first Bridget Jones movie by now and here we have a second installment for those who couldn?t get enough of the first. Its pretty much more of the same. There was plenty of laughter from those in the theatre but it all sounded a little forced to me. Sure I laughed (a little) as well and the soundtrack is rocking but I?m not going to say it is an original script by any stretch of the imagination. Formula: Bridget Jones plus boyfriend, minus this boyfriend after they have a big fight, add the return of the irresistible bad boy and, not surprisingly, this equals Bridget at the start of Bridget Jones? Diary.

I kept myself entertained by all the opportunities taken for product placement. From a Coca-Cola sign in Piccadilly Circus, to the Galaxy chocolate bars Bridget gives out to some ? er ? fellow inmates, to the constant references to Madonna I was surprised at how blatant it was.

Overall, I?d rate the movie as quite average. There are some slight twists but not enough to drag it from the sequel blues. If London needs a clue on how to recycle properly then it needs to talk to the producers of this film who are apparently experts at it.
