It's a fantasy that many women like to give into sometimes: That you can be somewhat older, a little disheveled, not exactly fit, but still get the man of your dreams. Or make that two, or even three if you count a perfect baby son on the way.
"Bridget Jones's Baby" ("Bridget Jones no Nikki: Dame na Watashi no Saigo no Moteki"), the long awaited third installment of the enormously popular "Bridget Jones" series, has arrived on our shores and the whole thing is like a giant blob of cotton candy seemingly made for women only by an almost all-women team, including director Sharon Maguire and screenwriters Helen Fielding (also the author of the original novels) and Emma Thompson.
Here she is again, the lovably flawed heroine defined mostly by romantic mistakes and real pratfalls. Bridget (played by an ever-exuberant Renee Zellweger) is now 43 and a successful producer of a London news show. She has finally gotten her life together and the nemesis of her love life, Daniel (Hugh Grant), is out of the picture completely. But so is human-rights lawyer Mark (Colin Firth) whom she almost married but didn't.
