Trailer: Bridget Jones

Now she's found true love our beloved Miss Jones is asking, ‘How do you make it last forever?’

Sep 28 2004

Instead of ‘How do you find true love?’ the question now being asked by our beloved Miss Jones is, ‘Once you have true love, how do you make it last forever?’ But judging by the trailer alone it doesn’t look like Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is going to be all that different from the first film, Bridget Jones's Diary.

Yes she’s got her man, and her perfect job, but she's still abstaining (although this time round it’s from carbohydrates not calories, and men instead of fags), has an obsession with her answering machine, the same two men fighting over her and wobbly bits.

But who said more of the same can’t be just as funny. The trailer includes scenes that will continue to make a generation of ‘Bridgets’ wince with familiarity. Ever put your make-up on in a hurry, in the dark and then gone out on a hot date, only to realise you don’t look so hot yourself? Of course you have.
