As a single mother and widow, the tragicomic title heroine is looking for luck and will find it after a false start.
Anyone who has longed for a Romcom version of “Baby Girl” will feel in good hands in the fourth “Bridget Jones” film at Renée Zellweger. Of course, it is important to cope with a loss, because we meet the title heroine as a widow. A fact that created an outcry of the protest in advance in some fans. But this horror actually makes one thing clear: with her fantum it could not have been far, otherwise you should have known that in Helen Fieldings the underlying Roman Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) also blessed the time.
As expected, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) returns. Part 3 had released us as the very last picture with a newspaper report about his resurrection. Here he shines in the few film minutes that he has been granted when the Womanizer, who is getting old, who now cares for his purely platonic relationship with the main character and sometimes steps in as a babysitter.

Two men with great upper bodies
Bridget is confronted with the challenges of a single mother who tries to get a new entry into professional life over 50. But now she is not falling in love with a much younger intern (maybe Kidman would not have allowed it at all), but in a real natural boy (Leo Woodall from “The White Lotus”), who always appears as a emergency with a bare torso when someone was stuck in the tree or fell into the swimming pool.
He ensures that in life – or at least on the face – the widow rises again, but ultimately makes it bluntly through what it thinks of the considerable age difference. Because there is also the slightly grumpy natural customer teacher Mr. Wallaker (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who also has a muscular upper body, you need to worry about Bridget's dating future. Real surprises remain in short supply here anyway, because the outcome of the film is certain from the outset (even if you don't know the novel).

A dead person is always there
Director Michael Morris apparently sees it as a matter of honor, almost all the figures that appeared in the previous parts to bring back – even if only for mini appearances. Even death is not an obstacle, and because one is probably distrusted with the memory of the viewers, Mark can take up a shape as a memory image several times. Fortunately, Emma Thompson repeats her role as a sarcastic gynecologist, and Jim Broadbent, as a Bridget's father, puts herself on the deathbed in order to give the daughter a good advice on the further life of life and pose for a memory photo.

Bitter -sweet and easy to digest
“Crazy about him” spreads a mood that is best described as bittersweet: the big and small challenges of life are brought into easily consumable shape and usually nothing goes so deep that it would be really painful – Just a few scenes then manage to stir our innermost. In the end, a New Year's party combines the most important characters and releases us with a view of an all -round happy bridget that has found its bright smile again – and if a world championship is ever held in facial cutting, Renée Zellweger would have won from the outset. (Sorry, Jim Carrey and Rowan Atkinson!)
