Ghosted attempts to replicate the success of Bridget Jones' Diary but falls short in many areas. The protagonist, Mercy, is depicted as an aspiring actress struggling with modern dating in her thirties, yet her concerns feel outdated. The film lacks the clever wit and humor of its predecessor, as attempts to create comedic situations through pratfalls and workplace troubles ultimately fail. Moreover, Mercy's enduring attachment to an untrustworthy partner undermines her character, making it difficult for viewers to root for her. Overall, Ghosted struggles to capture the essence of a fun romantic comedy.
Ghosted closely follows the formula established in Bridget Jones' Diary but lacks the charm and originality, ultimately coming off as a poor tribute rather than a worthy successor.
The protagonist Mercy, navigating her trajectory from waitress to aspiring actress, presents a dated perspective on modern dating, particularly for a character in her thirties in 2025.
Ghosted's humor fails to resonate as it attempts to recreate the lighthearted mishaps and workplace blunders of the original Bridget, falling short in execution.
The film's portrayal of Mercy allows her to remain attached to a dubious partner much longer than would seem reasonable, compromising the character's potential for relatability.
