In case you are in Hong Kong and still looking for some last-minute romantic weekend ideas, consider the new Bridget Jones movie, a Valentine’s Day-themed fashion collection and a new dining experience – and see what else we recommend for the weekend.

1. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Crack out the chardonnay. Bridget Jones is back.

Usually, a fourth film in a series does not inspire confidence, and the third Bridget Jones instalment, 2016’s Bridget Jones’ Baby, was something of a letdown. But Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy manages to be both funny and poignant.

Now in her middle years, Bridget (Renée Zellweger) is again on her own. Her beloved Mark Darcy, father of her children Billy and Mabel, died on a humanitarian mission in Sudan four years earlier. She has her friends, but no man in her life – until she meets 29-year-old Roxster (One Day’s Leo Woodall, excellent).

Can a relationship between a younger man and a middle-aged woman survive? That is one of the questions in a script that effortlessly blends topics such as overcoming grief with the sort of lightweight comedy the Bridget Jones films – and books by Helen Fielding – are known for.

It never feels forced, perhaps because you sense that everyone wanted to come back for this one. Read our full review
