Short description
Bridget Jones is becoming uncomfortable in her relationship with Mark Darcy. Apart from discovering that he's a conservative voter, she has to deal with a new boss, a strange contractor and the worst vacation of her life.
What's left behind the scenes
- The quotes from the poem that Daniel reads to Bridget on the yacht in Thailand are none other than a translation of the famous epic poem 'Phra Aphai Manee,' about a hero prince who, among all his other feats, courts many princesses and takes them as wives. The quoted part describes Phra Aphai Manee's courtship of his eldest wife, Suwan Mali.
- The film is based on the novel 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' (1999) by Helen Fielding.
- Bridget makes a remark to Mark when his shirt is wet. This is how Colin Firth recreated the famous scene from the miniseries "Pride and Prejudice" (1995), where he appears before Elizabeth in a wet shirt after swimming in the lake.
- The presence of the character Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) in the second part of the book was minor, almost episodic. However, Hugh Grant's character proved to be so memorable and popular with audiences that his role was significantly expanded for the film.
