Synopsis

Bridget Jones believes she has finally found happiness with Mark Darcy, but insecurity soon threatens their relationship. Suspicious of Mark's seemingly perfect colleague, Bridget becomes increasingly jealous and self-conscious. When Daniel Cleaver reappears, her emotional confusion deepens. A disastrous trip to Thailand, an unexpected arrest, and several humiliating misunderstandings force Bridget to reconsider what she really wants.

Factoids & Trivia

• The film is based on Helen Fielding's 1999 sequel novel, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," and continues the story begun in "Bridget Jones's Diary."

• Principal photography took place from October 6, 2003, to February 15, 2004.

• Production used locations in London, including Bedale Street for exteriors of Bridget's flat and the Italian Gardens in Hyde Park for the fight between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver.

• The skiing scenes were filmed in Lech, Austria. Other sequences were shot in Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand.

• The film's wet-shirt fantasy deliberately echoes Colin Firth's famous appearance in the 1995 BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice." Firth plays both Darcy characters in the two productions.

• A scene in which Bridget interviews Colin Firth was filmed but omitted from the finished movie. It was later included among the DVD extras.

• Bridget's flat interior was recreated on an Ealing soundstage rather than filmed entirely at the London exterior location. The set expanded on the character's established collection of self-help books.

• The film received a Golden Globe nomination for Renee Zellweger in the Best Actress category for a motion picture comedy or musical.
