Herald Sun
A calamitous disappointment of a sequel. The old Bridget we all loved for her frailties, failings and feelings is gone.

BBC
It's testament to Zellweger's likeability and skill that the film is still enjoyable, but it lacks the element of surprise.

Roger Ebert
The Edge of Reason is a jolly movie and I smiled pretty much all the way through, but it doesn't shift into high with a solid thunk the way Bridget Jones's Diary did.

Slant Magazine
Edge of Reason is less a film than a series of non-stop embarrassments set to a sunny soundtrack.

Variety
There's a lack of a big emotional arc to tie the episodic structure together. However, on a performance level, the movie is practically flawless.

Entertainment Weekly
A triumph of performance, production, and adaptation over the empty-calorie dither of its source material.

The Washington Post
One singularly unbecoming character, who should, by rights, forever remain a "singleton."
Full review
Rolling Stone
Sucked out the charm of the original and replaced it with crude pratfalls and enough shag gags to stuff the next three Austin Powers movies.

Empire Magazine
For the most part, Edge Of Reason is as saggy and well-worn as Bridget's big knickers.
