There are some other surface changes in the life of the world’s favorite singleton: she’s shacked up with the dreamy Darcy and is no longer, well, single. But the script is furnished with the same jokes from the first movie, except the second time the “watch Bridget fall flat on her face in a very short skirt” routine is less vaudeville and more ritual humiliation.
