‘We’ve been told inside to bring tissue that we’re crying and laughing’ – the Irish

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Renée Zellweger returns to our screens to surprise her role as beloved unhappy romantic Bridget Jones. The highly expected fourth installment of Comedy Film Series, Bridget Jones: Mad of the Boy, was greeted with fanfare and curiosity on his release day in Irish cinemas on Thursday.

Terri Deegan from Pearse Street in Dublin and her daughter are among the eager fans who have appeared at the Savoy cinema on O’Connell Street at lunchtime on opening day.

For Deegan, the series brings with it some special memories that are shared with the family.

“We went to all the other Bridget Joneses with my mother and sister, but my mam died last year so my sister doesn’t go. So I and my daughter said, we came going and my mam is next to us, ”says Deegan, gesticulating to the left.

Remembered the tradition of cinema trips to see past rates, she says: “We used to go to the one who was out in Coolock because my mam is out there. So this is where we used to go and have our goodies and all. We would get a lift home everyone, that would be great. “

What has DEEGAN been excited about Bridget Jones’ latest misadventures coming to our screens? “She (Zellweger) hasn’t been on screen in a while, you know what I mean. It looks funny so it does. I can’t wait … It’s really groovy that is more movement and music in it, so it’s something I look forward to. “

Angelique Jenkins, from Australia, was also in Savoy today on a solo biography journey: “It’s just my little treat for myself.”

Only in Ireland for three days, Jenkins says she is a big fan of Zellweger’s character.

“I just love her as an actress and the story, themes … I like the character. She’s just crazy and free and just quirky, everything I like about being a woman, ”she laughs.

“I just came for three days, I’m here from the UK. I was with my daughter at Cambridgeshire so she sent me out here for three days and I felt just to go to the movies today. “

Kay Lynam and her friends are on a “Palentine’s” Day out, “Celebrates our Birthdays, Our Three Birthdays.”

The trio are all fans of the ROMCOM series, and with Valentine’s Day on their minds they decided that a trip to Savoy to watch the latest movie would be the perfect addition to their afternoon.

“It’s because we’re out for lunch and it’s Valentine’s Tomorrow, and the movie starts today that we decided we would come and see it,” says Lynam.

“We have been told inside to bring tissue that we cry and laugh from time to time. We don’t know yet, so we go in and see … Palentine, that’s what it is for us today. “

Lynam and her friends aren’t the only ones celebrating their birthdays with a healthy dose of Bridget Jones. Rhiannon and Ed Walshe visit Dublin together from Mayo.

“It was my birthday yesterday, says Rhiannon,” so we’re here for it, and we just tried to find something to do, and it was kind of the only movie we wanted to watch, so we’re not really like Big fans. “

So is this an early valentine’s date? “We don’t really do Valentine’s Day.” The couple says they last saw Barbie in the cinema.

Meanwhile at Odeon’s Point Square Cinema, Andrea Dodd and Nora Condon have already secured their tickets for a screening next week.

“We have a cinema club in our workplace and we are trying to get to the local cinema if we can at a time that fits, and Bridget Jones was the only movie that was at a time that fits,” says Dodd.

“It’s something nice and fun to see,” says Condon, “it will be relaxing. It doesn’t bother anyone, it won’t be hard to see or anything. Then just a relaxing evening in the future with a group of friends. “

With Presales to the movie, which is said to be on the field to break the Box Office posts, it seems that planning ahead is not a bad idea.
