Bridget Jones navigates life as a widow and single mum with the help of her family, friends, and former lover, Daniel. Back to work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe - just maybe - her son's science teacher.

This film marks a charming and heartfelt return to the world of one of Britain’s most beloved fictional heroines. Set in contemporary London, the film reunites audiences with Bridget Jones—still endearingly chaotic, wonderfully witty, and always relatable—as she navigates the complexities of modern life with her signature blend of optimism and neuroticism.
Now older and wiser, Bridget faces a world that has shifted dramatically from the one she once knew, from parenting to technology, relationships, and beyond. True to form, she approaches each challenge with humor, vulnerability, and a self-deprecating charm that continues to resonate across generations. Whether dealing with family, friends, career, or personal reinvention, Bridget is as hilariously fallible and emotionally honest as ever.
This new chapter is both a continuation and a fresh beginning. While rooted in the tone and themes fans adore—romantic entanglements, inner monologues, awkward encounters, and moments of personal growth—it also introduces new dynamics and timely reflections on life, love, and resilience. With her sharp wit and heartfelt introspection, Bridget tackles modern dilemmas that will strike a chord with longtime fans and new viewers alike.
The film delivers a warm, intelligent blend of comedy and poignancy, enhanced by a strong supporting cast that adds texture and depth to Bridget’s journey. It's a story about change and acceptance, about rediscovering oneself in the face of life's unexpected turns, and about finding humour and joy in the everyday.
Visually polished and emotionally rich, Mad About the Boy balances its lighter moments with an undercurrent of sincere emotion, all without losing the upbeat, quintessentially British charm that has defined the series. It speaks to anyone who's ever felt like they’re winging it through adulthood—or just trying to keep it all together with a bit of grace and a lot of wine.
In short, this new installment offers a feel-good, laugh-out-loud yet touching experience that honours the spirit of the original films while carving out a thoughtful space of its own. With its updated setting and timeless heart, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a delightful reminder that it’s never too late to rewrite your story—or fall madly in love with life again.
