If Jack Is The Father, Why Is She Marrying Mark? Renée Zellweger's

Bridget Jones's Baby follows 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary and 2004's "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" to the movie marketplace.

The pity party's over soon enough though, as she skips the song and boogies instead to "Jump Around".

But her co-star Sally Phillips, who plays Bridget's formerly sweary BFF Shazza, has another idea in mind.

She does, in fact, have a groove, perhaps for the first time. She's got a cool job producing the nightly news, and hip, thirtysomething friends to make up for the old pack, whom she sees less and less often now that they've paired off and started having kids.

The third film throws an affectionate and frequently hilarious baby shower for characters we've grown to love and proves that Bridget may have (finally) dieted down to her target dress size, but she's no closer to achieving her Happy Ever After. Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) died in a plane crash, and his death "seems to have hit the Eastern European modeling community particularly hard".

That's my favorite stuff, by the way: that she just can't help herself sometimes.

There have been reviews saying that the second installment of the film was a disaster, but the team behind the movies has made a great success with the recent "Bridget Jones's Baby", especially adding McDreamy in the storyline, which is what Patrick Dempsey has been known for to his fans.

Zellweger, an Oscar nominee for the original "Bridget Jones's Diary" and a victor in 2004 for " Cold Mountain", stepped away from the Hollywood "cycle", as she called it, to take stock of her life. She grew a human with that body.

Thompson nabs several of the best lines as Bridget's despairing obstetrician, including a one-liner that advises expectant fathers against witnessing the miracle of birth firsthand.

Yet if Bridget's sexual dry spell is over, her headaches have just begun.

Renee Zellweger explains what led to her 2010 Hollywood hiatus.

All signs have pointed towards the latest Bridget Jones movie being a total disaster - but that's not the narrative that is ultimately written. Not only does she discover she's pregnant, but because of the proximity of the trysts, there's no way to know who the father is - a predicament that seems to highly amuse her doctor (a very amusing Emma Thompson, who also shares script credit with "Bridget Jones" author Helen Fielding and Dan Mazer). To my mind, that whole Jane Austen thing was never more than a weak hook in the Bridget story.

Yet it feels current because they've allowed the character to grow. Shockingly, it seems as though Bridget has learned to live in the moment.

"Not that it's anyone's business", she wrote, "but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes".

From heartfelt declarations to pratfalls, she's as smooth as ever in delivering a screenplay by Fielding and the very welcome Emma Thompson (who joins the cast too) that is just this side of a girls-night-out blast, London-style. Or maybe it's our old friend Darcy (Colin Firth), who still sounds as if he's handing Bridget a detention every time he utters her name through clenched teeth?
