Marathon Month | Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Bridget is alone once again. Four years ago, Mark died while working on a humanitarian mission in Sudan. Since then, she has been raising their children, Billy and Mabel, with help from her friends, her outspoken mother and even her former lover Daniel Cleaver. Still, Bridget remains caught between the life she once had and the one waiting ahead.

Her friends decide it is time for her to start thinking about herself again. Bridget returns to work and cautiously tries her luck with dating apps. There she meets the considerably younger Roxster. Meanwhile, she keeps clashing with her son’s no-nonsense teacher, Mr Wallaker, at the school gates.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy reveals a different side of Bridget. She is no longer dealing only with awkward dates and unsuitable men, but also with grief, parenthood and the question of how to move forward when life has not gone the way you expected.

Renée Zellweger returns to the role she has now played for almost 25 years. Hugh Grant is back as Daniel Cleaver, joined by Leo Woodall as Roxster and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Mr Wallaker. The result is a funny and moving new chapter about saying goodbye, falling in love again and holding on to yourself.
