The humiliation of Bridget Jones is done so many times that it's not funny and it's not clever and it's not interesting. Richard Roeper,Ebert & Roeper

The talented cast give the flabby script some much-needed muscle. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie,Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So clumsy and crass that it makes you doubt the pleasure of the first movie. Charles Taylor,Salon.com
It's a pleasing enough romp, and if you're starved for romantic comedy (where have they all gone?) this will ease your hunger pangs. Teresa Wiltz,Washington Post
Bridget's is a world of upper middle-class Teflon-coated narcissism, the kind that effectively seals out any concerns other than her own, and those concerns tend to run the gamut from weight to men and back again. Geoff Pevere,Toronto Star
It's the sequel to one of the best films of 2001 that quickly reveals itself as one of the big disappointments of 2004. Mick LaSalle,San Francisco Chronicle
The film is a narrative mess, a cut-and-paste job of random ideas and pointless incidents that are barely related to each other, but this messiness is very much in keeping with the scattered personality of Bridget. Joe Baltake,Sacramento Bee
I can't remember many sequels as redundant and unnecessary as this one. Jack Mathews,New York Daily News
That this new film isn't quite so adorable as the first hardly matters, Bridgetwise, as the whole point of both movies is to allow everyone to revel in Zellweger's assumed-zaftig pantomime. Amy Biancolli,Houston Chronicle
Her character, a self-deprecating blend of accidental insight and unapologetic girlish emotion, has gone from idiosyncratic to flat-out idiotic. Leah McLaren,Globe and Mail
With her volume knob cranked up to 11 and her cups overflowing with weight gain, Zellweger is often more annoying than adorable. Terry Lawson,Detroit Free Press
Uma Thurman and Nicole Kidman might have suffered more thoroughly in recent movies, but no one suffers more thanklessly than Zellweger does here. Wesley Morris,Boston Globe
Bridget Jones: 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' Diary (2001) did. Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun-Times

Several of the movie's farcical moments feel forced and strained. Claudia Puig,USA Today
