Based on author
Helen Fielding's sequel to
Bridget Jones's Diary,
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason picks up four weeks after the original film left off, with
Bridget (
Renée Zellweger) emotionally satisfied at long last with
Mark Darcy (
Colin Firth), her barrister boyfriend. Stability in
Bridget's life, however, quickly becomes a contradiction in terms. Though
Mark is openly supportive of
Bridget's eccentricities -- and there are many -- she is nonetheless threatened by
Mark's young, nubile intern, not to mention irked at finding out that he is, among other less desirable qualities in her eyes, a conservative voter. Complicating issues further is the reentrance of her ex-lover,
Daniel Cleaver (
Hugh Grant), whom
Jones, perhaps mistakenly, thought she had finally gotten over. Before long, the situation escalates into another series of embarrassing circumstances for
Bridget, who is faced once again with a crippling feeling of self-doubt and has only her diary and friends to combat it.
