Editorial Review:
Fresh from her 2004 Oscar win, Renée Zellweger reprises the title role in the romantic screen comedy Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason. The film also boasts a sensational companion soundtrack from Geffen Records featuring great pop legends and newer rising stars, among them Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rufus Wainwright & Dido, Carly Simon, Jamie Cullum, Sting & Annie Lennox and more.
With Nick Angel serving as music supervisor/executive producer, the soundtrack Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason is a pop music lover’s delight. Newly recorded songs appearing on the cd include: a cover of Sade’s song "Your Love Is King," by rising U.K. star Will Young; "Misunderstood," a new tune by Robbie Williams; "Everlasting Love," a newly recorded cover by Jamie Cullum, "Stop!," by UK artist Jamelia; Kate McGarrigle’s "I Eat Dinner," recorded as a duet by her son Rufus Wainwright & Dido; and a newly recorded version of Sting’s "We’ll Be Together" by Sting and Annie Lennox. Other songs on the soundtrack include: "Can’t Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue; "Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' On Me?)" from Joss Stone; "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" by Mary J Blige; "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce; the classic "I'm Not In Love" by 10CC; Carly Simon’s hit "Nobody Does It Better;" "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" from The Darkness; Minnie Ripperton’s timeless "Loving You;" and "Bridget's Theme" by Harry Gregson Williams.
Based on the novel by Helen Fielding and directed by Beeban Kidron, Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason stars Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth (all reprising their roles from Bridget Jones's Diary) along with Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones and Jacinda Barrett.
Description of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason:
While it's cast largely in the same musical mold as its winning predecessor, there's a more palpable sense of romantic melancholy wafting through this soundtrack to the further misadventures of Rene Zelwegger's lovably hapless, love-triangulated Bridget. Though still aimed at adult contemporary tastes, it's also imbued with a healthier dose anglocentric cool via tracks like Jamelia's torchy "Stop," Will Young's elegant take on Sade's "Your Love is King," teenaged Alfie contributor Joss Stone's soulful "Super Duper Love" and the ubiquitous Kylie Minogue's teasing "Can't Get You Out of My Head." Mary J. Blige offers up a stark, melodramatic cover of Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" while Rufus Wainwright (with Dido) turns Anna McCarrigle's (Wainwright's mother) "I Eat Dinner" into an emotive centerpiece. There are the expected 70's chestnuts (10cc's "I'm Not in Love," "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon, Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin You") and the obligatory superstar remake (Sting and Annie Lennox muscling up his "We'll Be Together"), but a few surprises as well, including the deliciously over-the-top, nouveau glam-rock left turn by The Darkness, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love." --Jerry McCulley
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason Reviews:
Go Bridget Go! 
2007-09-15 - A must have sequel. Wonderful, entertaining and funny movie that stands on its own merit. Great to view in these days of stockmarket woes, job losses and overall gloom. At the end of a tough day, Bridget Jones can make you laugh and relax!!
Great Music
2007-03-23 - I love Robbie Williams remake of Sade's "Love is King". This CD has a great list of songs you'll want to listen to over and over again!
Love the movie, but the soundtrack is missing a key song!
2006-09-28 - What about the song that was playing when Bridget was in the water tripping on mushrooms? I LOVE that song! And I don't know the name of it or who does it. I listen to the clips here and it's not there!
Anyone know the name/artist for this song???
Enjoyable and Fun!
2006-03-05 - I actually got this CD because I LOVED the song "I Eat Dinner (When the hunger's gone)" when I heard it in the movie, and was so pleasantly surprised by the remainder of the soundtrack - I really enjoy Jamelia's 'Stop', and Mary J. Blige's cover of "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" is truly a portrait of painful sadness... I could go on about each song, but overall this soundtrack truly accomplishes what it set out to do - which is to tell the story of Bridget through song.... and it's A LOT of fun to listen to along the way!
Bridget Jones2 Soundtrack 
2005-08-29 - Good mix of music from different genres with some songs "covered" by newer artists. They do a good job of re-doing ths songs in their own way without losing the original integrity of the song. Fun to listen to in the car while dealing with rush hour!
