Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2024)
23 years after her Oscar nomination for Bridget Jones’s Diary, Renée Zellweger is back in the fourth instalment of the beloved romcom series based on Helen Fielding’s bestselling books.
Now in her 50s and single again after the untimely death of her husband, Bridget finds herself grappling with solo parenting and the challenges of re-entering the dating world.
Hugh Grant returns as Daniel Cleaver, with Leo Woodall (Jack in The White Lotus S2) as Bridget’s much younger love interest and Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor as her son’s teacher.
Released just before Valentine’s Day, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy had the best box office opening ever for a romantic comedy in the UK and Ireland, according to Universal. It’s currently the eighth biggest box office hit of 2025 globally.
The romcom has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Independent (UK) calling it “vulnerable, honest and very funny” in their four-star review.
