Bridget Jones's Baby

The 3rd installment of Bridget Jones (first since 2004), we have Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth again, along with Patrick Dempsey playing the Hugh Grant character.

"Characters" is the best way to describe this universe.   Some many plot devices all rolled into one - the TV career woman, the uptight lawyer, the millionaire handsome playboy, the American in England, the unexpected pregnancy, the entire 9 months, the rushing to to the hospital.

Very similar plotline to Mamma Mia (also with Colin Firth).  The mystery as to who is the father of the baby.  Bridget has two flings with both men and can't for the life of her figure out who's baby it is.  Of course, both of them want to be the father - some healthy competition.  No pesky wives or girlfriends for Bridget to contend with.

Good dialogue, good music, an enjoyable movie.  Interesting how Firth's character is Mr. Darby - a little Pride and Prejudice story connection.
