Aged 43, Bridget Jones is struggling with the trials of life, not the least of which is her breakup with her love Mark Darcy. Pushing forward and working to find fulfillment in other aspects of her life seem to do wonders until her love life comes back from the dead when she meets a dashing and handsome American named Jack (Patrick Dempsey). She has a consecutive one-night stand with both men. Things couldn’t be better, until Bridget discovers that she is pregnant. Now, the befuddled mum-to-be, her loyal entourage of friends and eccentric co-workers, and her amused yet no-nonsense gynecologist, must work out if the proud father is Mark or Jack.

Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Variety
“Bridget Jones’s Baby” is not a comedy for the ages, but it’s interesting to see a rom-com starring a middle-aged woman grappling with irrelevance in the workplace. It doesn’t hurt that Bridget’s hard-nosed twentysomething new boss and nemesis is so brilliantly played by Kate O’Flynn, with the complete conviction necessary to make roles that send up hipsters anything other than a bit déjà vu at this point.

Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By A. V. Club
Bridget Jones’s Baby, the third movie in the series based on Helen Fielding’s comic novels, is the kind of sequel that wants to get a laugh by firing up a song cue before the credits even roll. The song in question is “All By Myself,” used in the first Bridget Jones film, but Baby has plenty of others to choose from. Sure enough, it switches to a different kind of gag tune shortly after a few bars, having Bridget (Renée Zellweger) jump around her apartment to the strains of, yes, “Jump Around” by House Of Pain.

Despite an abundance of mostly tepid jokes that keeps the comedic tone at a quiet simmer, Bridget Jones’s Baby doesn’t jell. Ms. Zellweger floats through the picture, charming but strangely detached from her suitors.

Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By The Hollywood Reporter
There are crisply folded lines, and pleasingly peppery performances from the supporting cast especially, but where its beating heart should be there is a splinter of ice, the sense that no one involved is really doing this for that much love.

Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Empire Online
More than a match for the original, the third outing for Bridget has a solid story with holes you’ll forgive thanks to the much-missed onscreen magic created by a director and her leading woman.

Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By New York Daily News
This somewhat predictable and trend-obsessed comedy about what happens when a woman of a certain age ends up expecting, and unsure of the parentage, is pregnant with comedy gold.
