(Colin Firth I will love you forever) and Jack Qwant whereas in the book the potential daddies are either Mark or Daniel Cleaver.Īnd I have to say I prefer the film! I KNOW!!!!!! It's just so rare for a film to be better than the book but this time the film wins hands down. In the film the two men in question are Mark Darcy So the basic plot is that we now meet a slightly older Bridget who is single once again and after sleeping with two different men within a few days of each other becomes pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.

Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, doesn't appear in the film and is instead replaced by a character called Jack Qwant, played by none other than McDreamy himself Patrick Dempsey. It's hard not to compare the two when reviewing the book as the plot is similar but the characters are different. Less we say about THAT one the better.Īnd now we are on to book four called Bridget Jones' Baby which pretty much corresponds with film three also entitled Bridget Jones' Baby. So book one and book two in the Bridget Jones series correspond with film one and film two there are some plot and character differences between the two but for the most part the story is the same. And then there are the film adaptations which have made her a global icon of sorts! Who doesn't love Bridget Jones? She's just one of those characters that seems to have endeared herself to readers because we can all see traces of ourselves in her.
