About the movie
As a single career woman living in London, Bridget Jones not only introduced the world to her romantic adventures but added Singletons, Smug-Marrieds and f---wittage into the global lexicon. Bridgets ability to triumph despite adversity led her to finally marry top lawyer Mark Darcy and to become the mother of their baby boy. Happiness at last.
But in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. Shes now a single mother to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver.
Pressured by her Urban Family Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out dating apps, where shes soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man. Now juggling work, home, and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her sons rational-to-a-fault science teacher.
