[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just turned it on, and I’m struggling to suspend disbelief…with a 55 year old Renee playing a mum of young kids.

Yes, Hugh Grant looks old…but he’s so adept at playing this role that it doesn’t matter. His sex appeal is intertwined with his arrogant confidence.

? It is what it is. You can't really get new actors for these roles.[/quote]

Nobody suggested getting new actors.

Perhaps use older kids?

Perhaps don’t use a baby-faced actor for the “boy” unless you doll Renee up a bit?

Zero chance a twenty-something would go after a 55 year old woman in mom jeans and unbrushed graying hair. Completely unrealistic. [/quote]

To me she passes as mid to late 40s and I’ve met women that age with little kids so it doesn’t shock me at all. She got married in her late 30s didn’t she? And Bridget has something charming about her which is why men like Cleaver and Darcy, plus Darcy’s gorgeous friend (Lucinda?) all fell for her. It was never about her looks.[/quote]

In the movie they say Roxster's about 28 and she's 27 years older than him[/quote]

Apparently she's supposed to be 51 in the movie, but I believe they said that Mark was 55 when he died four years prior and he was four years Bridget's senior, which would make her 55. Either way, the kids are too young.

Believe it or not, twenty-something men do go for frumpy middle aged women. And Roxster is actually really ugly, he's just young and fit.

I thought it was okay, but Renee Zellwegger played Bridget so differently than in the other movies. Her voice was completely different, and she wasn't so much quirky as just...odd. She made weird faces the whole movie and didn't walk normally. I know she's supposed to be a mess, but I felt like I was watching a different character entirely. All of the other characters were older versions of themselves, while Bridget almost seemed like she'd been re-cast. I might have liked it more if I hadn't seen the other movies.  [/quote]
