My 14-year-old made a comment about the plot but that she was not fat

The fourth instalment of the hit series causes an intergenerational rumpus. Watching the original with a teenage girl blew my mind. ‘I know it's the plot but she's clearly not fat’ – what my 14-year-old made of Bridget Jones.

Last time I checked, it’s 2024, and the man-and-weight-obsessed cliché of a woman is in the past. So why do we need another Bridget sequel? I don't feel sorry for Bridget Jones. I'm not sure why we need a sequel.
