Bridget jones 2 The edge of reason

Bridget Jones is a single woman over thirty. She is desperately looking for a boyfriend, she is always dieting and is trying to stop smoking and drinking.
Her mother and her mother ‘s friends try to join her with Mark Darcy, a rich and known lawyer, but Bridget isn’t really interested. A lot of her married friends inquire after her love life and she doesn’t like that. Problems about men are discussed with Jude and Sharon, her best friends, or with Tom, a homosexual friend who is always there to listen to her. Bridget is in love with Daniel, her boss. After a long time of flirting, they start dating, but soon she finds out that he has got an affair with another woman. Actually, Daniel is engaged. It takes her a while to get over him. On top of her own problems, her parents don’t get on any more since her mother is dating Julio, a Portuguese she has met on vacation. Her mother wants a whole new life and gets a job for television. She also finds a new television-job for Bridget. But Julio turns out to be a criminal: he asked rich friends of Bridget’s mother to invest in time-share apartments that didn’t exist, so he actually stole their money. The police came after him and he escaped with Bridget’s mother to Portugal. Finally, Bridget’s mother got off well and acted as if nothing happened, but Julio was arrested for fraud.
At the end of the year, Bridget and Mark fall in love.
