Nearly a decade after the latest sequel to Bridget Jones’s Diary hit theaters, the beloved romantic comedy series continues with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Based on the eponymous Helen Fielding novel and released in 2001, Bridget Jones’s Diary concerns 30-something Bridget (Renée Zellweger) who decides to take control of her life and journals the entire experience. Itself a send-up to Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones’s Diary quickly became a classic of the cinematic romance genre, and it didn’t take long for the blockbuster to receive a sequel.
