Story
In this fourth installment of the critically acclaimed Bridget Jones series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the title heroine returns to face the difficulties of being single. After Mark Darcy, her cherished partner, passed away, Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is adjusting to the loss and beginning anew. Bridget is caught up in a whirlwind romance with a charming but erratic new love interest while she tries to move on. Striking a balance between her new relationship, job, and motherhood, Bridget learns that life’s imperfections are what make it so beautiful.

Plot Summary
As the movie begins, Bridget Jones is leading a more sedate life and caring for her two small children while coming to terms with Mark Darcy’s passing. Shazzer (Sally Phillips) and Miranda (Sarah Solemani), among other members of her family and friends, come together in support of her and offer encouragement. Bridget meets a charming man (played by an actor who has not yet been revealed) who opens her heart again and gives her a new lease on life, but he also adds a good deal of complications.

In addition to dealing with obstacles from her controlling mother (Gemma Jones) and a challenging work environment, Bridget has to deal with romantic ups and downs. With her trademark wit and fortitude, Bridget discovers that happiness can come from the most unlikely places as she learns to accept life’s and love’s unpredictable nature.
