Bridget Jones: She's Crazy About a Boy it will likely be the most personal film in the saga, as Bridget goes through a much more difficult emotional and personal journey than in the previous movies. With this in mind, my concern about Cleaver's return was that the film took the spotlight away from Bridget's inner journey and I struggled to place it on Cleaver and how he once again messed with Bridget's life.
In addition, I worry Bridget Jones: She's Crazy About a Boy falling back on Daniel Cleaver's old pattern where Bridget falls into her “love” trap and to be reminded how bad she is as a sentimental pattern. This would also mean repeating the story of the first two movies, and I like to think that Bridget is a lot wiser now and won't fall in love with Cleaver again – but if he has a very small role, it is less likely that these patterns will repeat themselves.
