2/5
"Es casi imposible negar que se quedó muy por debajo de las expectativas."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

"The sight of Colin Firth running through a meadow in slow motion is worth the price of admission."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

B+
"Much like Bridget’s beloved cigarettes, Edge of Reason isn’t terribly good for you, but it’s pretty delightful while it lasts."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

C
"Instead of laughing with Bridget, The Edge of Reason laughs at her."  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

2.5/5
"The entire original cast is back this time around... the original plot is back, too."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

"She conveniently doesn't remember that it's a bad idea to agree to carry fertility statuettes for men just met while traveling"  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

D+
"Dear Renée: We like your work. But if you put on forty pounds to recreate the moronic character of Bridget Jones one more time, we’re going to take it personally."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

2/4
"One sequel where a pressing need to find out what happened to the protagonist is absent, replaced by an attempt to cash in on the financial success of the first picture."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

1/4
"Edge of Reason is less a film than a series of non-stop embarrassments set to a sunny soundtrack."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

C+
"If this were the first film in the series rather than the second, there wouldn't be a second."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B
"It goes for many more cheap laughs than its predecessor, but it gets them pretty consistently and a few instances result in big, hearty belly laughs."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"...a desperate and disjointed farcical venture that feels terribly strained. There’s no declarative spark or soulful snap to this dull romantic comedy"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D-
"As the British might say, it's bloody awful."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"On those rare occasions when The Edge of Reason isn't regurgitating material from Bridget Jones' Diary, it is taking ill-advised excursions into unfunny slapstick and sappy melodrama."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2/5
"Renee Zellweger returns for a been-there, done-that sequel that's content to be more of the same."  Netflix  James Rocchi

4/10
"Not only does it rehash the original's elements, its story is one of the most unimaginative I've seen."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

63/100
"There are some true moments of revelation, but they're neither substantial enough nor inspired enough to touch the original."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

4/10
"It’s all enough to make me wish somebody would cue up an Aretha Frankin song and make a joke about Bridget’s big underpants. Oh, wait…there they both are. Again."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2/5
"Use the money to go upgrade your original Bridget Jones DVD to the new swanky collector’s edition (pick me up one, will you?) and save your money on this movie."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

C-
"Only the sublimely snakey Grant emerges unscathed"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2/5
"She's degenerated into a clingy, obsessive, lumpen caricature of her former sparkling self, so witless and galling that Lucy Ricardo seems a steady, self-confident font of common sense by comparison."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2/4
"A little Bridget unfortunately goes a long way."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

D
"An over the top, ham-fisted replay of the original."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"[N]othing but a celebration of women-as-morons, aren’t-they-cute?..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is not as good as the original – the Thai prison sequence makes certain of that – but it still works."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B-
"In other words, this is pretty much the same movie as the first, but both the heroine and her story have lost a good deal of their charm. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/5
"Se você ouvir alguém dizendo que se identificou com Bridget Jones, meu conselho é: rompa a amizade. Você não vai querer perder seu tempo com alguém assim."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

1.5/5
"The sequel has about as much emotional depth as a sitcom, only without even the latter's meager laughs."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2/5
"The filmmakers seem to have missed the point of the first film's success completely, concentrating on all the unlikeable elements."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

D+
"It's only more of the same but without the spark of originality of Bridget Jones's Diary."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

1.5/4
"This is one diary you can skim without missing anything juicy."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

0.5/4
"Something for the ignorant boors with the Y chromosome, something for the ignorant boors without it."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
