Summary: Not since NURSE BETTY
Review: I hadn't really paid any attention to Renee Zellweger until I saw her in Nurse Betty. Her dry sense of humor is very unique. She has a quiet yet alarmingly un-nerving way about her that keeps you watching...waiting to see if she'll fall down a flight of stairs or something.
Truthfully, Bridget Jone's Diary was an unexpected treat. Never thought I'd see the side of HUGH that is probably the REAL Hugh. I enjoyed the storyline, the British comedy that was almost Benny Hill. I'd watch it again and again, actually.

Summary: Can you think of someone more perfect for the movie?
Review: Can you think of someone more perfect for the movie? I think Renée Zellweger was the BEST choice for the main character of "Bridget Jones's Diary". I personally remember watching the trailer for the movie and the promotional ads, thinking about how bad the movie would be or how boring the characters were. Obviously I was wrong. I can't say the movie is a blockbuster because it's not true (as you should've noticed by yourself), but I have to clearly state that this movie will make you feel good about yourself even if you weight 300 pounds. Definetely.The movie itself is about a girl whose life is just as messy as lots of other publicists who are about to lose their jobs if they don't come up with an interesting idea soon. Bridget, Renée Zellweger's character, ends up doing a new year resolution and starts to avoid her feel-good cigarrettes (casual or post-sexual activity) and lots of other things that had become a vice for her. The picture is filled with super funny situations, for example the costumes party where she ends up dressing as a funny-as-hell bunny with a white round tail. Although I enjoyed this movie very much, I don't think it's a best-buy choice to buy the VHS or DVD versions of the movie, I'm sorry but I just can't personally see myself watching this movie over and over again. Definetely a good movie to watch, but not to abuse of.

Summary: One of the best movies ever
Review: American Renee Zellweger did it. She made a convincing Brit. She also looked fabulous, even though she had to gain weight for the role. I loved this movie. The script was a well-done adaptation and it is very fun to watch. I was very surprised by the performance of Hugh Grant. He typically gets cast in the romantic lead role, playing some sort of charming, bumbling idiot that you can't help but fall in love with. This movie, he actually tries something different. He still plays an idiot, but this time he's the sort of idiot you love to hate. It's a nice change. And, if there are any of you out there who hate Hugh Grant, this is the movie for you--there is a particular scene that you'll love (but I don't want to ruin it for you). Colin Firth also does a marvelous job. His character is probably one of the most interesting in the movie (aside from Bridget herself). He progresses in a way that you don't really expect from the beginning, and it's rather nice. I love Colin Firth. If you're in a bad mood, this is a great movie to see. It fits the romantic comedy mold, but it's good to watch even if you're not a fan of that genre. It's great fun.

Summary: Ridiculous Movie.
Review: Why would I care to watch a movie about a pudgy British Twit whining about her weight and her sexlife for two hours??? PURE TORTURE!! Another silly "Men Bad, Women Good" movie that fails to even come close to the quality of a Lifetime Movie-of-the-Week. One reviewer got it 100% correct: Women and Men view relationships in totally different ways; we stopped trying to find princess charming a long time ago, we can "hit it" and leave - women in general can't (Why women would want to mimick this canine behavior is beyond me). They also see movies differently, I can't think of any guy who could sit through this mushy mess without out laughing out loud or walking out in disgust, or both. What's worse, Hugh Grant tries to act in this film - BLECH!! Not even John Woo could've saved this dreck from stinking.

Summary: Renée Zellwegger IS Bridget Jones
Review: Some roles seem just to have been created for certain actors, and no one else will do. As with Russell Crowe in "Gladiator", Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Robert Powell in "Jesus of Nazareth"; Renée Zellwegger definitely deserves an award for her performance as the typical British singleton Bridget Jones. I have read the book, which I found nothing special and actually sort of boring. However, one has to admit it is the type of novel which could undeniably make for a wonderful comedy movie. Add that the performance of someone like Zellwegger and... we have a winner! When Renée Zellwegger was cast for the starring role in this production, eyebrows were raised high in Hollywood. After all, she is the typical American girl, not at all British. The fact that she didn't have the required accent didn't help either. But Zellwegger determined to overcome all these obstacles and gave the best performance of her life so far. After seeing this movie, no one can deny they couldn't imagine anybody else in the role. The part I liked the most was almost at the beginning, when she is alone in her apartment and lip-sings (and mock-plays) to the lyrics of "All by myself". I laugh so hard! I could imagine anyone going through such a situation and behaving exactly so. To make a little history, "Bridget Jones' Diary" is based on the novel by Helen Fielding, about a 32 year British woman who seems to have no luck at marriage or even at a stable relationship at that. She feels marked for future "spinsterhood", ending her days alone, half eaten by dogs. She falls in love with all the wrong men, among them her boss, Daniel Cleever, played here by none other than British Hugh Grant. It is a relief to know Mr. Grant can also play roles where he is not always the laughing stock. But suddenly, one day love arrives at Bridget's doorstep - literally - and as it usually does, quite unexpectedly. Colin Firth is TO DIE FOR, in his role of the incomparable British macho who can make every lady's head spin around with love. He plays an insecure man, but who, in the end, knows how to claim what's his. I was very glad the movie was so much promising than the book. Zellwegger brings to the screen a rich, comic, lively character otherwise too flat in the book. When we hope she would run right after her hero something always happens. One ends up feeling she might be too late
for her own happiness, but then... Oh well, after all, "it's just a diary."

Summary: Blue Soup & Bunny Bridget
Review: A sassy romantic comedy with obviously naughty overtones and decidedly adult humor. After watching this movie you could never be a slave to the tyranny of the recipe again. Bridget (Renee Zellweger) manages to innocently amuse and is quite delightful and even wickedly witty. The blue soup was my favorite part, well except for the part where she tells everyone the reason why she is still single. Mermaids beware. At first she is emotionally confounded to the point where she decides to write a diary about how much of a failure she is in relationships. She figures she might have to be content with a bottle of wine as a boyfriend although she is hopelessly in love with her boss, editor-in-chief Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant, who is excellent as a bad boy in contrast with other sappy situations in movies of the past). There are scenes in this movie you won't soon forget, lines you will want to write down for appropriate use, and moments in time when you will suddenly burst out laughing because some of the script surely evolved in a moment of intellectual grandeur and is useful to store away in your mind for a never ending cycle of amusement. Except they overused one word to the extreme. The love triangle starts with lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) meeting Bridget at a party where match making is obviously in progress. Only her "urban" family doesn't seem to want to set her up with the latest single guy. She has her heart set on Daniel and she is like a stream moving in his direction. Bridget is really learning about love and what it takes to make a relationship stick. She just seems to find guys who only want to pose as ephemeral emotional support and when she finds the one guy who she thinks will love her for who she is, he disappears off into the sunset. Even when Bridget decides to "put a stop to flirting, first thing tomorrow," she knows she has an irresistible urge to find that one guy who will really love her for who she is and is man enough to say it. Cute, funny and at times rolling on floor, laugh-out-loud hilarious. Tick, tock. Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Summary: Delicious, juicy Bridget fun
Review: I must confess, I am something of a fanatic when it comes to both classic and new British literature. So, naturally, I loved the book Bridget Jones's Diary. I also loved the movie. Renee Zellweger was just sexy enough to let me believe that Hugh Grant and Colin Firth would fall for her, but bumbling enough to still be pure Bridget. This movie is worth seeing, even if you haven't read the book (and if that is true- shame on you! Buy it immediately!) If you are familiar with Pride and Prejudice, then you know how this one is going to turn out. It is an adorable romantic comedy, and it doesn't hurt that every time Colin Firth is on the screen he makes me melt. Enjoy!

Summary: I'm glad my life isn't that eventful!
Review: This is a hilairious movie about an ordinary woman with friends and family- maybe not love though. Bridget Jones is thirty years old and single, what could be worse? Then Mr. Perfect comes along and so begins this hilairious movie that everyone will enjoy!
I especially liked the fight!

Summary: The movie is as good as the book!
Review: Although Emily Watson was cast aside for the American actress Renee Zellweger, she was great impersonating a British accent and playing out the character in the book. She wears this awful suit picked out by her mother. The suit on her looks very tight and uncomfortable on her. That is where it starts to be amusing. It is even more amusing when she flirts with Daniel, her boss and at the vicars and tarts party.
The actors parallel with the characters in the book. Colin Firth, who played in "Pride and Prejudice" as a bitter aristocrat, plays the same role in this movie. I don't care for the soundtrack, but the movie was worth the investment.
