Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Bridget Jones navigates life as a widow and single mum with the help of her family, friends, and former lover, Daniel. Back to work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe – just maybe – her son's science teacher.
Critics Sentiment

Roxster disappears after making time machine comment
The film recovers from its weakest romantic subplot when Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver returns to inject humor and heart into the story.
Critics found this a more mature but uneven entry in the series, praising Zellweger's performance and the film's handling of grief while criticizing weak romantic subplots. The emotional peaks involving family and loss resonated strongly, but the forced comedy and age-gap romance fell flat. Hugh Grant's return and the children's performances provided the film's strongest moments.
