BRIDGET JONE'S BABY Regurgitates Chick Flick Genre

The original "Bridget Jones Diary" ('01,) the 1st in the trifecta of fetching chick flick comedies was so chipper it spawned 2 sequels.  Dir Sharon McGuire (b Welsh 1960) directed both the original & the most recent, "Bridget Jone's Baby."  The latest installation begins with the funeral of Hugh Grant. The church is jam packed with a bevy of young beauties.  Also in attendance, is Mark Darcy (Colin Firth - oh Mr Darcy) with wife in tow.  Awkward, uncomfortable, adorable & endearing are but a few of Bridget's character traits played pitch perfectly by Renee Zellweger.)  Zellweger with her winsome charm is delightfully daffy.  However, Patrick Dempsy is miscast as Jack, a billionaire exec who seems more like a quack.  Bridget has had lengthy dry spell from men.  She hits the double derby with Mark & Jack and finds herself happily pregnant - except for the fact, she's not sure who is the actual father to her baby.  The brilliant, Acad Award winning actress & screenwriter, Emma Thompson does double duty on this film as screenwriter & actress in the role of Bridget's Dr.  Thompson is hilarious as the affable Dr willing to play along with Bridget's ruse since she's confused who the dad to be is going to be.  To see or not to see?  Here's the deal, the movie has a 50% chance to appeal to the general population.  But, bringing Hugh Grant back from the dead is a droll addendum.
