Last Chapter: briefly; Bridget Jones [Renée Zellweger:] is now a mummy of two children and life of the more recent times has been really hard, but luckily she still has her group of friends and one Daniel Cleaver [Hugh Grant:] he hasn't changed much, but something tells me he is going to have to sooner rather than later.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 124 minutes film is; well; I'm not going to lie this film does hit the Bridget Jones cliché's for while [on every single aspect, I just can't list all of those at the top; but all I can do is reassure you there is a lot more to this film than one first impressions; so things to get much, much better, you just have to stick with it really.]

Comedy and art; obviously we now some sexual stuff such as Jones purchasing, well I am just going to go with a lots of sexual based things from a chemist whilst her children's teacher appears behind her Mr. Scott Wallaker [Chiwetel Ejiofor:] he is as I have already said it teacher; of science working at Christ Church Primary School, he is a good man, but somewhat strict with his whistle, he definitely overhears their shopping list as the pharmacist puts these things through the till and later on she has mishap with some dodgy stuff; so she goes to see the children's paediatrician Dr. Rawlings [Emma Thompson:] as you may have guessed she is a paediatrician so this is slightly out of her realm of expertise as she tells Jones, but we have Jones/Zellweger speaking to the Dock about things currently the Dock can understand Jones, but we the viewers get subtitles.

Now without giving too much away Jones and her two children; Billy Jones-Darcy and Mabel Jones-Darcy [Casper Knopf and Mila Jankovic:] two good kids that are going with their mother to send off some balloons; this scene is excellently structured and depicted and later on there is an excellent solo singing number [ in this case there would be a much like saying without giving too much away; but I can say excellently performed nonetheless.]

Character developments and performances; well it finally happened Jones at some point in this film comes-of-age and even Cleaver does a bit as well. Broadly speaking all of the new or/and returning characters either gel as in slot right in with the returning characters/performers or for those returning at heart they are still the same but got older and their good performances of all of the cast; reflect that they want to leave this instalment/interpretation of this franchise in a good place, unfortunately as of this content being first created it has no awards accredited to it; which is a shame because Zellweger deserves an award for/or something to the equivalent of best lead role as Bridget Jones, I will discuss this more momentarily, but she does an excellent job signing off as Jones.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I think after everything is said and done it; it has enough to find itself in this section of my marking system, yes it does take some time to stop doing the standard Jones stuff and yes I am not exactly thrilled by the time jump in the closing stages of this film [in fact in the previous instalment I took a mark off for this.] But the saving grace of this instalment as I have already indicated it is the fact; that Jones comes-of-age in this film; which I have to confess is a very strange concept considering she is in her 50's now and this film explores maturely as we progress forward into this film, so in a nutshell the coming-of-age aspect does so much of the heavy lifting and don't get me wrong she can still be quirky and everything else, but she also has to be in the present times as well, hence why this film finds itself in this bracket of my marking system and there is some extra bits and pieces at the end of this film.
