Hugh Grant Cried Reading New ‘Bridget Jones’ Script

It’s rare that the fourth film in a franchise will get the best reviews of the bunch, especially when it’s released a whole decade after the previous movie in the franchise, but that seems to be the case with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. The film has a higher critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes than the previous three entries and is surprisingly successful with fans, especially when you consider the fact that it’s been relegated to the streaming platform Peacock, at least in the U.S. It seems to be a rare case of quality actually getting the recognition it deserves. “It’s a really good script,” said Hugh Grant in a MovieWeb interview in 2024. “In my humble opinion, it’s the best script of the four films so far.”
