Photo: Giles Keyte/Universal Pictures. Today sees the release of Bridget Jones’s Baby, the latest installment of the Bridget Jones Cinematic Universe. As in the previous editions — 2. Diary and 2. 00. 4’s The Edge of Reason — Baby sees our Bridge torn between two very different men, either of whom could be the father of the eponymous infant. There’s Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), of course, the stiff- lipped human- rights lawyer whose demeanor runs the gamut between reserved and aloof, and there’s the improbably named Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), an American dating- site billionaire who loves algorithms almost as much as he loves buttoning his shirts to the very top. Early on, Bridget refuses the amniocentesis that would let her figure out which man impregnated her, and so the identity of the true father isn’t revealed until the last scene of the film, where we learn . He’s sketched so broadly that he’s barely a character, and Dempsey in his initial scenes gives what can only be called a terrible performance. But for most of the second half, the plot seems to be moving toward one particular resolution: Bridget is going to end up with Mark Darcy, whose coldness about the two- dads situation seems to be an obvious case of jealousy, but the biological father is going to be Jack, who is 1. That way everybody gets an arc, and we the audience learn a sweet lesson about the nature of family in the 2. Up to and including the penultimate scene of the movie, that’s how it looks like things will shake out. After the kid’s born, we flash forward to Bridget and Mark’s wedding, where Jack is standing in the front row. He’s holding the baby and beaming, looking every inch the happy dad. Except, not two minutes later, Mark asks Jack to “give me back my son.”Mark is the father!? He’s pretty cute.)It’s an odd twist, and it seems to come out of nowhere. Was it added purely for shock factor — or was the shadowy hand of outside interference at work? Evidence in favor of the latter theory comes in another scene, about halfway through the film. While discussing the baby’s big feet, Bridget’s father (Jim Broadbent) mentions that Bridge has inherited his own exceptionally small feet. At first, this seems like a clue: Could the film subtly investigate which of the suitors gave the baby its big- footed genes? But no — the foot- size conversation simply gets tabled, and it never comes up again. What gives? Did some executive decide that, if Mark Darcy is Bridget’s soul mate, he damn well must also be the dispenser of the champion sperm? Did test audiences hate an ending where Dempsey was the father, and all the foot- related shenanigans that preceded it? And if he’s not the dad, why do they let Jack hold the kid at the wedding? Is that the normal consolation prize for dudes who find out they’re not the father? Regardless of what really happened (and yes, I’m prepared to go full truther) the movie’s current ending muddles the narrative. Over the course of the film, Mark Darcy is forced to come to terms with what it would mean to love Bridget even while she’s pregnant with another man’s child. It’s a gripping emotional journey, and it’s undercut completely by the twist at the end: Turns out Mark doesn’t need to work on his jealousy at all. There’s also a weird whiff of social conservatism that seems surprising in a film where Bridget invigorates her mother’s political career by convincing her to become the candidate of gays, immigrants, and single moms. Bridget's focus on single life and her career is interrupted when she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch. Renee Zellweger, 47, hits back at rumours she has had plastic surgery after fans claimed the Bridget Jones star was 'unrecognisable' Actress has hit back at rumours. After a film’s worth of lip service to the idea that a family can be whatever you want it to be, the happy ending for Bridget and Mark is still a traditional, biological nuclear family. Bridget Jones’s New Best Friend: interview with Sarah Solemani Comedy writer and actress Sarah Solemani plays Bridget Jones’s New Best Friend in the much- anticipated third film. And she was thrilled to be championed for the role by Ren. SHOES, Kurt Geiger. I’m Bridget’s friend and as a friend, it’s my job to get her laid. It’s what friends do, isn’t it?’ I suppose it is, given that the Bridget in question is perhaps the world’s most famous singleton, and this friendship mission statement comes from British actress and comedy writer Sarah Solemani, who plays Bridget’s New Best Friend Miranda in the much- anticipated Bridget Jones’s Baby. The film chronicles the next phase of Bridget’s hapless life having found herself single at 4. Mark Darcy (the plot deviates from the most recent Bridget Jones novel, in which Bridget is a widow, following Mark’s untimely death). As you might surmise from the title, Miranda succeeds in her matchmaking plan. But who is the baby’s father: old flame Colin Firth (Mr Darcy) or new hottie Patrick Dempsey (aka Dr Mc. Dreamy in Grey’s Anatomy), who plays American billionaire Jack Qwant? Having had a sneak preview of the film, I can attest it’s not just hilarious but make- a- block- booking- with- all- your- girlfriends- at- one- of- those- cinemas- that- serve- wine hilarious. Bring your daughter. Bring your mum, for that matter; Bridget is a modern icon whose well- meaning klutziness and grace under fire unites the generations.

As they set off for a girls’ weekend away, buttoned- up Bridget is smartly dressed in white jeans and nude heels for what she assumes will be a spa break. It transpires that Miranda, wearing tiny denim shorts, wellies and a come- hither look, is taking her to a music festival in a very muddy field. Sarah with Ren. But right from the get- go this film, featuring top- notch cameos from Ed Sheeran and Emma Thompson, underlines the fact that the outpouring of affection for the Bridget Jones franchise is because it’s as much about female bonding as finding The One. Sometimes my husband Daniel will watch me getting terribly overexcited and voluble with a strange woman at a party and ask, “What on earth’s going on?” I’ll say, “Can’t you see? I’m falling in love.”’Sarah has friends of all ages and believes a range of perspectives adds an extra richness to her life. They tend to be more relaxed, don’t put up with any p***- takers and have a bit of money to make their wardrobes amazing.’ One friend is Beeban Kidron, 5. Bridget Jones film. She’ll never say, “Oh, you’re too young to. I have younger friends too, mostly young creative girls, writers/actresses. I love their zest.’However, Sarah insists that – unlike Bridget – she’s rarely led astray by younger pals. We had a fabulous wrap party for Bridget Jones at a fancy hotel, and there was a big swimming pool roped off. I turned to Beattie Edmondson, an excellent young actress who is in the film, and said, “Come on, we’re going in.” She was instantly up for it – I mean, she is the daughter of a Young One! We did a synchronised swimming routine, and at one point I swam up to Beattie and tried to do a Dirty Dancing lift. The hotel staff were so p***** off they refused us a towel, so we were dripping outside in our cocktail dresses.
