Our take
A romantic comedy about a widow re-entering dating as a single mum. Sexual references and innuendo, moderate profanity, wine drinking, emotional grief scenes and comic mishaps with dating apps and younger suitors. Raunchy but heartfelt. Best for older teens who know the Bridget Jones series.
Uplifting themes
Resilience, honesty and accepting imperfect love after loss Bridget stumbles, but she shows devotion to her children and friends
Story (may spoil tone)
Bridget Jones navigates life as a widow and single mum with the help of her family, friends, and former lover, Daniel. Back to work and on the apps, she's pursued by a younger man and maybe – just maybe – her son's science teacher.
