Bridget Jones: Mad about the boy brings a fresh twist to a beloved character
A select group of women were invited by Jockey South Africa to an exclusive #GirlfriendsGetaway screening of Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy at Ster-Kinekor in Gateway Theatre of Shopping on Wednesday ahead of its Valentine’s Day release.
The fourth instalment in the franchise sees the beloved heroine navigating life's complexities with her trademark wit, all while attempting to rebuild her sense of self and grapple with the reality of being a single mother in a modern age.
Bridget (played by Renée Zellweger) juggles her role as a mother for the first time, transitions from the bumbling thirty-something we once knew into a somewhat more mature, yet still hilariously flawed, individual navigating the treacherous waters of dating and self-discovery in her forties.
The charm of the movie lies in her signature misadventures and the more profound explorations of love and loss. This duality lends itself to moments that are both heart warming and gut-wrenching, offering viewers a real glimpse into the emotional ups and downs of adulthood.
