Per Universal Pictures, “Mad About the Boy” follows Bridget (Zellweger) who “is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark (Colin Firth) was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 10-year-old Billy and six-year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
“Pressured by her Urban Family — Shazzer (Sally Phillips), Jude (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (James Callis), her work colleague Miranda (Sarah Solemani), her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Emma Thompson) — to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (Woodall).
“Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Ejiofor).
“Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” will be released in cinemas across Australia on Thursday, February 13th.
