The New Year's Eve confession — Crystal running through Manhattan, arriving breathless, 'I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible' — is the romcom genre's defining declaration. Morris's Bridget Jones sequel has Zellweger's warmth and the franchise's accumulated goodwill. Both are romcoms serving audiences who want to believe in love stories. The gap says the genre's defining moment outperforms its franchise continuation. The declaration that set the template wins over the return that follows it.
