Pleasant-enough sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary" has Renee Zellweger completely at ease in her return to role as chipper go-getter Bridget Jones. Here she's still being bothered by egocentric jerk Hugh Grant while tremulous over relationship with Colin Firth. The presentation is colorful and yet just a bit heavy, with some scenes going on too long and several encumbered by an effects-enhanced prettiness which occasionally seems like overreaching. Grant, in what is essentially a cameo, is annoying and gratuitous, but Renee is quite fun to watch, and the movie has a few funny tricks up its sleeve. The constant degrading of Bridget, however, is a running joke that doesn't always work, but the finale is certainly worth a smile. **1/2 from ****
