Three are Dolby Digital 5.1 efforts in English, Italian and Spanish. On both PowerDVD and my Denon 3910 the change is invisible.
The layer change occurs at 71:06, and is positioned during the scene where Bridget is locked up in the Thai prison. This is a dual layered disc with RSDL formatting. I switched the English flavour on for the entire duration of the film while listening to the director's commentary and found them most pleasing with little omission or abridgement. There are no major film artefacts present. This is still probably not good enough given how many other transfer manage to eradicate this nasty completely. There are no oversaturation or bleeding problems.Īliasing is present, albeit in a very minor capacity. There is no low level noise.Ĭolours are excellent, especially the bright and gaudy streetscape of Thailand. Grain is probably the most obvious problem, with the numerous interior background displaying a light smattering of pixelisation almost all of the time. Shadow detail is excellent with well-defined images throughout. There is a little edge enhancement present. It is a reasonably sharp transfer on most occasions, but with the odd wider shot looking a tad softer than average. Not the norm for romantic comedies, this transfer is presented in an aspect of 2.35:1. It is not top shelf by any means, which is a little disappointing.
Maybe they should have waited another three years and tried to get the story right before foisting this half-baked set of slapstick jokes upon us.ĭon't wish to see plot synopses in the future?

Bridget's friends were also underused, despite her friend Shazza ( Sally Phillips) escorting her to Thailand and seemingly cured of her need to use the F word four times in every sentence.Įasily one of the disappointments of the year. The wonderful Jim Broadbent and Gemma Jones as Bridget's dorky yet loving parents were completely wasted in this outing, almost to the point of there being no reason to include them, and yet they played such an important role in the original. The waste of the marvellous supporting cast was another massive negative. To make matters worse, the jokes just fell flat on numerous occasions and the whole third act played out in the Thai prison was a wholly contrived and just plain silly sequence that was merely created to provide the final two minute climax. It relied far too heavily on the same set of slapstick jokes (big knickers, fight scene between Cleaver and Darcy, Bridget's inability to do anything without looking like a klutz) to be anything even remotely resembling original. This film was a major disappointment for me. Just who will come to her rescue - the lecherous cad Cleaver or the dashing human rights lawyer Darcy is the big question set to be answered before the credits role. The trip to Thailand does not turn out as planned with Cleaver again showing his true colours when it comes to relationships and Bridget sampling the delights of some illicit substances before winding up in a Thai prison charged with drug smuggling offences. The problem is she will be working with that cad of all cads Daniel Cleaver ( Hugh Grant).

To make matters worse, her boss at the silly breakfast television show Sit Up Britain has decreed she must travel to Thailand to help film a series of travel segments for the show. As a result Bridget is becoming insanely jealous and highly insecure. Her lingering self-doubt is not helped when she learns that Rebecca, a lovely young, slim and highly sexy lawyer has been spending an awful lot of time with her man of late. She has this nagging doubt that Mark really loves her, still finding him at times to be hopelessly snooty and up himself.
But Bridget isn't wholly comfortable with the way things are going. Considering author Helen Fielding had also penned another novel about the trials of tribulations of the romantically desperate, overweight social misfit Bridget Jones, it is a little surprising we had to wait three years after the 2001 film to again visit with the chubby Bridget and her mates.īridget Jones - Edge Of Reason picks up six weeks, four days and seven hours (or 71 shags) after the climax of the 2001 hit film, with Bridget ( Renee Zellweger) initially very content with her new life and the attention she is receiving from the irresistible Mark Darcy ( Colin Firth).
