Firth, however, is wasted - Mark Darcy is so dull that it's almost a relief when their relationship starts to unravel - while other returning cast members, including Sally Phillips, Shirley Henderson and Jim Broadbent, are given so little to do that you wonder why they bothered coming back at all. Zellweger, who has settled comfortably into the role, shines here, relishing the chance to show off her comic talents, while Grant once again proves he's much more fun to watch when playing a bad guy.

Much of the humour is confined to a handful of set-pieces and keeps the same showy, slapstick mood established in the first movie - so we have Bridget sky-diving out of a plane into a pigsty, Bridget teaching a cell-load of Thai convicts to sing Madonna songs and, in one admittedly hilarious sequence, Bridget realising that skiing isn't nearly as easy as it looks.

Things pick up considerably once Grant returns as Bridget's sleazy ex - now working as a TV reporter for a trashy travel show - while the heroine herself, through a series of contrivances, winds up in a Thai prison and is forced to rethink her actions while behind bars. Which is all very well, but it's dragged out to such an extent as to become frustrating to watch. Nowhere is this more apparent than during the first half, when Bridget, having settled into a life of cosy coupledom with Mark Darcy (Firth), becomes convinced he's up to no good behind her back, her insecurities all but killing their perfect relationship. While there's still some amusement to be had from our hapless heroine's quirky approach to life, the film feels light on plot and often struggles to fill its near two-hour running time, defaulting to schmaltz mode when something, dare we suggest it, funny would have worked so much better. But that doesn't mean we're looking at a surefire success - sadly, Bridget's latest big-screen adventures represent more of a retread than any kind of progression. After all, the movie adaptation of Bridget Jones's Diary was a huge hit with both public and (surprised) critics alike, while the source material already existed in the shape of Helen Fielding's follow-up book. If you were to list the most likely sequels ever, this one would surely come just after Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets and Batman Returns.
