Awesome Movie

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY is exactly the kind of film I hate watching: a chick lit adaptation which is supposedly warm, quirky and loving, but which instead turns out to be a presentation of cliches, lame humour, and some embarrassing mugging performances. It's the film that soured me to Renee Zellweger with all of her fake mannerisms and plummy, fake-sounding British accent. I have liked Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in other films and I'll admit that they work very hard on their characters here, but the end result is just too schmaltzy to be effective.

Loosely based on the old novel, this is the story about Bridget Jones, a thirtysomething British woman who is mateless and unhappy with her life, and keeps said diary to try to improve herself. The story begins when Bridget is invited to her parent's home on Christmas Day, and is introduced to a wealthy man named Mr. Darcy whom she dislikes. Later at her workplace at a publishing house, she describes the colleagues she also dislikes, and her boss has his eye upon her, and he seems charming. But she finds that he and the other man have a dispute between them, and her own boss perhaps is not the nice person he seems to be. Then Bridget's own mother has her own midlife crisis and is unhappy with her family...An entertaining story, if a bit too full of bad language. There is sexuality, but the only very brief sex scene does provide the necessary shock value for the plot. Recommended, but for nobody younger than in their teens.

Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is 32, over-weight, drinks too much, smokes too much, and perpetually single. At the New Year party, her mother tries to set her up with family friends' son divorced lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) who isn't happy with the setup. She starts a diary vowing to fix her life. She has a crush on her boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) at the London publisher. She begins a relationship with him despite his womanizing past. It goes bad and she quits. She gets a spot as a TV reporter which results in some usual reporting. Darcy gets claimed by lawyer colleague Natasha (Embeth Davidtz). Darcy and Cleaver were once best friends but an affair with Darcy's wife have made them enemies. She bounces back and forth between Darcy and Cleaver. All the while, Bridget's parents' marriage is in trouble.Renée Zellweger is adorably awkward. She does some tough work transforming herself into a chubby Brit. I'm sure a real Brit would probably work better but Zellweger does a good job. Also there is a question of exactly how chubby she really is. The movie tries to accentuate her weight but she's never not adorable. The story is fun and sitcomy. It has its own heart especially with her father played by Jim Broadbent. It has two dashing male leads and all the angsty love triangle fun in the world.

A British woman (Renee Zellweger) is determined to improve herself while she looks for love in a year in which she keeps a personal diary.Whether or not this is a good film depend on who you are, I suppose. Romantic comedy is not really my cup of tea, and this one is more romantic and less comedy, so it may be even less my cup of tea than just the average romantic comedy. I like Hugh Grant and Renee Zellweger, and this was a good role for Colin Firth before he went A-list... but still, following a woman's love life is not my preferred subject matter.Why this ended up on my list of things to see is completely beyond me, but now it has been seen and cannot be unseen. Let us chalk this up to taking one for the team.
