| BRIDGET JONES'S BABY movie poster |
With 2 Dear Friends, The Travelling Toe went to see ":Bridget Jones's Baby", It is the latest movie about the escapades of Bridget Jones. The 2nd movie of the series, left off with Bridget and the love of her life (or so she thought) Mark Darcy starting a life together. But in this movie we find Bridget at 43, still single and focusing on her career as a cable news producer.
A girlfriend talks Bridget into going to a fringe music festival together. After a few drinks, they become separated and Bridget meets a handsome American man. They spend a very romantic night together. When he wakes up the next morning, he finds that Bridget has left and he does not even know her name. Later Bridget finds out his name is Jack Qwant, a successful soft designer of a matchmaking dating site.
A few days later at a party for the christening of a friend's baby, Bridget meets Mark again.t To make matters even more uncomfortable for them both, he is the Godfather and she is the Godmother for the baby. They have to pose for pictures together trying to look happy. And once again after a few drinks they rekindle their relationship in a night a heated passion.
Fast froward a few weeks and we see Bridget holding a pregnancy test with it showing positive! But which one of the men is the Baby Daddy - Mark or Jack? So now she has the task of telling Jack and Mark one of them is going to be a father but she doesn't know which one.
There is a very funny scene where her friend the newscaster of the cable program is going to interview Jack and the makeup lady, a friend of Bridget's, tries to get samples of his hair and fingernail clippings for DNA testing.
The 2 men try to outdo each other in taking care of the mom-to-be. In a small but essential role, Emma Thompson plays the non-nonsense gynecologist and is very funny in a droll sort of way.
If you have seen the 2 previous Bridget Jones's movies, you know it is filled with quirky friends and co-workers with one one funny scene after another.
So Dear Readers who is the Baby Daddy? Well, The Travelling Toe never reveals the ending so you will just have to see it for yourself.
