How to watch Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy – is it streaming?

Along with the humour that Bridget Jones is always filled with, there are sure to be tears, with actress Renée Zellweger telling RadioTimes.com one aspect of the film she found "surprisingly sad".

"Several times, all in one day, we'd sort of swing from one extreme to the other in the different scenes that might be paired on the schedule," she explained.

"It was interestingly emotional for different reasons, because the content of the material is quite touching and sad at times, but also because some of the characters are going away.

"And that was a sad thing to have to accept, even as an actor, because this means no longer continuing the journey with a really dear friend.

"And that was really surprisingly sad, you know. But ultimately, I think it's more hopeful than anything."
