Rating: Summary: Hysterical -- to single women everywhere Review: ...- Be prepared to split a seam laughing at this movie. I've seen it twice and laughed hysterically -- even the second time through. Can't wait for the video -- is definitely a "must own." The movie is VERY different than the book, different story lines and even some of the characters do (or don't do) very different things than in the book. BUT, the movie-makers stayed true to the feeling, humor and satire of the book, so the spirit of the book is not lost in the movie. I can't recommend this movie enough. GO SEE IT!! :o)
Rating: Summary: Not worthy of all the hype. Review: Cannot believe the excellent reviews this movie got! I found it boring, stupid and absurd. Hugh Grant looks old and tired, the latter may have been after reading the script. He needs to fire his agent for choosing this movie, after having done some good roles in 'Four weddings and a funeral' and 'Nine months'. Zellweger is pathetic, so is Colin Firth. Overall, just a big disappointment.
Rating: Summary: Not enough! Review: I really enjoyed the movie but the book, I felt, was ten times better. It was fun to see the characters acted out on the screen. But I agree with another fan that the movie was too short and I wanted to see more interaction between Renee and Colin. Love Colin! Want to see more of him in American movies! Hope the sequel will offer more of Bridget and Mark's relationship.
Rating: Summary: The romantic comedy for Spring 2001 Review: This movie was absolutly fantastic.Renee Zellweger was so good in it,I had to remind myself she was an American actress.She did a wonderful job in this movie.The movie had some briliantly funny lines.Renee was absolutly adorable in it.This is a movie that everyone should see.It is great.
Rating: Summary: Truly female! Review: Any true Colin Firth fan will love this romantic comedy. Renee Zellweger is a spot-on Bridget and other casting also great. Colin is a dashing Mark Darcy and we were cheering for him throughout! Not just for women...men who saw this also found the film very entertaining.
Rating: Summary: Very Close to the Book and Painfully Funny Review: It's not quite the same as Helen Fielding's book, but it still gives the appropriate depiction of Bridget Jones, and does the book justice. If you've read the book, it won't be a letdown. I've seen the film twice, because one group of my friends couldn't make it to see it the first time I saw it and it was just as fun the second time. It's better than the standard "Chick Flick", which means you can actually take a squeamish male to see this film and they can enjoy it too. If I had one complaint with the film, character development wasn't as good as the book, such as in Bridget's parents and friends, but I guess you can't have everything.. Rene Zellwegger did an impressive job as the insecure Bridget Jones. I was amazed she could pull it off! Hugh Grant is wonderful to look at on the screen, but he does get the good looking man with the dark side roles these days, I've noticed. Colin Firth had an impressive role, but I think there could have been more to his part other than the love him/hate him bit that was Bridget Jone's focus throughout the film. I don't want to give the film's plot away. This was a film that I'll want to see again. There were too many moments of this films that really hit home...
Rating: Summary: FUWAHH! v.v.v.g. Review: Ashamed to say exactly how many times I went to see this movie. Let's just say it was in the double numbers. I did read the book and looked forward to the movie. It did not disappoint. I knew some things had to be changed in order to fit less than 2 hours of screen time, I would have have preferred the whole 2 hours, plus! Renee fit perfectly as Bridget. Hugh G. also as Daniel, but my favorite was Colin Firth. Wow, can he convey so much with just a look, or a twitch of his mouth (see the court interview with Bridget when she is talking). This guy doesn't need a lot of words, he can really, really act! I hope Hollywood grabs this guy up, he certainly made me and several other ladies swoon, his voice alone is mesmerising...Fuwahh! I'm disappointed that so many of his scenes were cut out in order to give Hugh G. more screen time, but that's Hollywood for you, go with the big name stars, afterall American women won't know Colin Firth. Bet they do now! See the movie, you'll laugh, you'll love it. Of course it is not exactly like the book, but so what, it captures the essence of it...the Bridget in all of us.
Rating: Summary: Bridget Jones hits the big screen.... Review: When I first found out that one of my fave books was to become a film, I was a bit weary at first. But I was curious to see just how it would turn out. Renee Zellweger puffed up approximately 25 pounds to play the british 30something. I was very happily surprised by her performance as Bridge. She brought great life to Bridge, and I thought that she did a great job. She carried the English accent off, and kept it for the entirety of the film..Bravo to Renee! Of course, the book is much better.. But this is one of the better "book gone to film" adaptations I've seen thus far. It's a good movie. I thought that both Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver were convincingly brought to life by Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, respectively. It's nice to see Grant not playing the "nice guy" for once. He was hilarious as Daniel. If you're up for a romantic comedy, this is one of the best I've seen this year. It's a jolly good show! Just keep expectations low, and remember that the book will still always be better!!
