** In the third film, Jack's dating website, which is supposed to be cutting-edge and sophisticated enough to make him a billionaire, looks so horribly outdated and cheesy that it's unlikely that anyone would seriously consider using it, much less earn Jack so much money in an era where there are dozens of dating sites where using sophisticated algorithms to make potential matches is the rule, not the exception.
* ReplacementScrappy: Hugh Grant turned down reprising his role as Daniel for the third film. Problematic, as the other possible father of Bridget's child is supposed to be Daniel, understandable given the LoveTriangle in place for the first two film. The character of Jack was created to fill this gap, and some fans were ''not'' happy about [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the change]], accusing Jack of being too bland of a character to seriously consider Bridget pursuing.

There's likely a bit of AdaptationDisplacement at work here, since the film version of Bridget fits this description a lot more.

* TearJerker: Oh so many.
** Bridget's parents' marriage, Pam is seeing other Men (the film has her say she doesn't feel appreciated) and Colin is bereft about it.
** Bridget lip-synching "All By Myself", even the goofy ones cry people.
** Jude's lamenting over her relationship with Vile Richard, she tries so hard in the relationship and he doesn't care.
** Bridget after having walked in on Daniel and his girlfriend and hearing the woman reply "I thought you said she was thin", ever seen a Playboy Bunny walking sadly on the streets? Well you'll see it there.
** Bridget, whenever she gets blue about being single and dreading she'll die fat and alone with dogs feasting on her corpse, she's a very loving and lovable person and doesn't see how anyone would be lucky to have her.
** The parallel scenes concentrating on Mark and Bridget after he goes through with an engagement that he didn't agree to once and that position in New York while she goes home and writes "Bridget Jones: Spinster and Lunatic" in her diary, the playing of Gabrielle's "Out of Reach" emphasizes the pain further.
** Mark and Bridget after arguing over how to educate their prospective son (waiting for the results of her pregnancy test stick), they're in bed later yet not touching each other and looking like they want to apologize.
** Mark and Bridget after their argument over Rebecca Gillies in the second film, seems a lot of people in London are in love and they're split.
** Bridget thinking Mark doesn't love her after their encounter in the Thai prison.
** From Shazzer's POV, seeing Bridget arrested is this. Your best friend is arrested for something she's totally innocent of and you could've been in her place if there was more room to stuff those drugs you had no knowledge of.
** The third book over Bridget's yearning for Mark especially this line [[PrecisionFStrike "I fucking miss you and I miss fucking you."]]
** Bridget recalling that Mark was traumatized by his time in boarding school.
** The fact Wallacker is suffering from PTSD
** The flashback where Colin held his grandson before he died.
** The 2nd book having Bridget catch Mark with Rebecca is this, leading to the disintegration of their relationship (for awhile).
** Rebecca in the 2nd movie is this for many closeted LGBT viewers, one can only imagine how painful it is for her to keep her sexuality on the down low at work (a very conservative law firm) and the [[IncompatibleOrientation fact she has feelings for her boss/friend's girlfriend]].

* BrokenBase: Some fans loved the second film, others hated it. The same could be said for the 3rd book, with the reveal that [[spoiler: Mark Darcy is dead.]]
