We watched Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason so you don’t have to.

Once again stepping out of our comfort zones, we — Justin and Norberto, two BuzzFeed writers — chose to watch another movie that we normally would never watch in a million years. Unfortunately, Bridget Jones's Diary is unavailable on Netflix, but for some reason Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is. So we said, "Fuck it," and decided to skip to the sequel anyway.
The movie is about a lady named Bridget, played by Renee "They'll never take Cold Mountain" Zellweger, who is dating some dude named Mark Darcy, played by Colin "Look at the wide range of emotion on my face" Firth. Basically, it's about Jones second-guessing herself and progressively getting lower and lower self-esteem. It's a real comedy riot! And there's a Thai prison involved! Hooray!
Seriously, don't be like us and watch this movie. But in case you're curious, here is our tale of watching this horrible waste of talent.
Justin Abarca: I think she was supposed to be frumpy in the first movie. Maybe she still is? Also, I think the first one was based on Pride and Prejudice.
Norberto Briceño: Man, Colin Firth is Mr. Darcy in everything.
JA: Is the book a romantic comedy?
NB: I dunno. All I know is that she gained weight for the movie and has a British accent.
JA: Oh, and Hugh Grant is in it.
NB: Oh, duh.
