So today after work I watched Bridget Jone's Baby, and gotta say I was more disappointed by the outcome than I should have been.
To me this was badly written. I was rooting for Jack, because if he had been the father, then the message of the movie would have been that even if you are stuck on an old love, you can still find someone new and start over, have a clean slate and one day you would meet a person who would stick around for your crazy even if you are in a mess like Bridget.
I mean let's face it, how many men would have stuck around a one night stand if they figure out they are pregnant. Also, when they might not be the only potential father. In my view, Jack really fell for Bridget, but she just chased a man who has broken her heart repeatedly and with whom her relationships never really worked out. Maybe it is just me, but to me Jack would have been the obvious choice.
But she was persistent and stuck with what she knew, instead of taking a chance for a life where there would be no Mark Darcy. I believe it is a common mistake among women today, sticking with the known instead of taking a chance for a better life. So to me this movie was a bust, especially after at the end they showed that Daniel was in fact not dead leaving us at a cliffhanger and with a possible next episode. That no one wants.
No one wanted this movie either. No one.
But they wanted to squeeze out more money of an already dried out franchise.
