Hugh Grant rears his scaly head as former paramour Daniel Cleaver and a song and dance routine breaks out in a Thai prison. Bridget feeds her insecurities by stuffing her face drinking like a sailor and then slurring insults at whatever passing character will provide the maximum of shame and embarrassment. His slinky secretary ( Jacinda Barrett) flirts ominously. He chastises her for it grumpily she apologizes and then she freaks out thinking that he will break up with her.

Or to put it in terms Bridget might understand: not quite big pants - more like frilly knickers. In all, The Edge Of Reason is suitably fluffy and flirty on DVD, but very low on insights about the actual making of the film. A Cosmo-style quiz that attempts to define "your ideal man" caps off the package. Zellweger fawns over "the star of BBC's Pride & Prejudice," delving into the infamous wet shirt sequence with such probing questions: "Did you know your nipples were showing?" For the more technically minded, there's a glimpse into the use of CG effects in the 'Lonely London' sequence where Bridget gazes wistfully over the city skyline after her break-up with Darcy. Thankfully The Big Fight featurette is a little more entertaining with Colin Firth and Hugh Grant swapping trash talk about their fountain fisticuffs "It was like wrestling my grandmother!" scoffs Firth.īridget Jones's Interview With Colin Firth blends fact and fiction with similarly amusing results.

Kidron also provides introductions for four deleted scenes, which are more than just the usual cutaways. Her audio commentary is peppered with statements like, "If it's a tiny bit over the top, I don't care!" and "It might be in your face, but one of the things I love about Bridget Jones is that it's in your face!" Aside from testimonials, she offers a few behind-the-scenes tidbits concerning the major comic set-pieces such as Bridget's parachute jump, which had Zellweger cursing from day one. Having taken so much money, it's perhaps no wonder that director Beeban Kidron makes no apologies for regurgitating old gags and stretching them as far as they'll go. Although Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason forfeits originality and "coasts on the charisma of Renée Zellweger," it surpassed its predecessor at the worldwide box office to become one of the most successful British comedies ever made. After the runaway success of Bridget Jones' Diary, a sequel was inevitable.
