    'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' is a fourth walk-through this particular universe and I have to say that it is a positive return to the world of Bridget Jones. It is funny in parts and features a noteworthy cast, though its more sombre side somewhat surprised (s)me. I'm not someone who has read the books (obviously... me read a book, come on now!) so I didn't know where this was going to go, I did hear before watching that it had been praised and that it had a more emotive plot - and it does. It conveys its messaging about loss convincingly. The ending is the point that that element reaches its pinnacle, I could hear a few sniffles amongst those around me in a packed out cinema. For me personally it was a bit too on the nose, but there is no doubt that it is a touching moment nevertheless; sold well by youngster Casper Knopf. Renée Zellweger continues to fit the role of the titular character perfectly, anything said about her peformances in the preceding three films can simply be repeated here. Elsewhere on the cast, Hugh Grant's Daniel remains very creepy but the actor undeniably makes it work. Chiwetel Ejiofor puts in a solidly good showing, I do like watching him act. Leo Woodall is a new name to me and he is decent, his character isn't really much of anything but no issues with Woodall himself. Other than those, it's nice to see all the familiar faces from the prior flicks.
