The rumors are true that Bridget Jones is returning to the big screen, but the questions are will this flick be like the other movies? It’s been a while seen we’ve seen the original one, and in the first Bridget Jones’s movie, she was funny, charming and pretty much all of us imperfect girls. I am definitely excited to see what happens with this film. Until this new movie hits theaters, I’ve gathered a list of ones that are full of perfectly imperfect people looking for love and happiness for you to binge!
