Director Beeban Kidron and her screenwriters-all four of them!-are content to sink matters into slapstick, with chunky Zellweger (who's unflatteringly photographed) the literal butt of all jokes.

Now she's fallen deeply in love and out of her neurotic mind with paranoia: Is Mark cheating on her with that slim, bright young thing from the law office? Will the reappearance of dashing cad Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) further spell the end of her self-confidence when they're shoved off to Thailand together for a TV travel story? If such questions also seem pressing to you, this sequel will be fairly painless, but you shouldn't expect anything fresh. She is, as you'll remember, no longer a 'singleton,' having snagged stuffy but gallant Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at the end of the 2001 film. A story of blood and beer and sweat, which strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale.Although it's been three years since we last saw Bridget (Renée Zellweger), only a few weeks have passed in her world. Vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one - the southern invader, Christ. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster.

The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel.
