In this follow-up to
the worldwide hit, we find Bridget (Renée Zellweger) where
we left her: blissful and besotted in the arms of gorgeous lawyer
Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Mark is accomplished, supportive and tolerant
of (nearly) all of Bridget's tiny jealousies; why wouldn't every
woman in London, including Mark's new long-legged, drop-dead-gorgeous,
I-always-say-the-right-thing-at-all-times intern, want to lure him
away from the plumpish, opinionated, sometimes inappropriate Bridget?
With the entry of the leggy threat, Bridget's pink clouds begin
to turn grey as her attacks of self-doubt sorely test her relationship
with Darcy. And just when it seems that the waters couldn't get
any more choppy, Bridget's former boss, womanizing heartthrob Daniel
Cleaver (Hugh Grant) sails into view.

Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes,
no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther (Allen) and Nora Krank
(Curtis) have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll
skip the holiday altogether, despite the fact that they're usually
the most fanatical about it. They might as well, since it won't
be the same without their daughter, who's away in the tropics. They
get the idea to join their daughter in sunny paradise as a surprise,
and thus, theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without
a rooftop Frosty; they won't be hosting their annual Christmas Eve
bash; they aren't even going to have a tree. But when their daughter
surprises them by cutting her trip short and returning home for
Christmas, there's a mad scramble to prepare themselves to have
the traditional Christmas fanfare on extremely short notice.
