Summary: Bridget Rocks the World
Review: This was an incredibly engaging and terribly realistic perspective of a single girl's struggle with life in her 30s. It is laugh out loud hilarious and has something for everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Bridget Jones's Diary
Review: I really loved this movie for it's simplicity and honesty and showing me that chilvary is not dead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very Likeable Despite Falling A Little Flat
Review: This is a very enjoyable experience: Zellweger is really something special, the inversions on expectations are nicely done and lend a valuable moral, some of the comedy is quite stellar. The major drawback is only that the surprise twist of the end is quite patently forseeable at the more genuine surprise twist of the middle. Why Ms. Jones does not see the obvious in the middle can only be chalked up to a plot necessity and not human reasoning capabilities as practiced in the real world. Hence the whole late middle portion of the film I couldn't identify the least with her conflictedness, already clearly apprehending the bit of knowledge that would erase that conflictedness. So, I couldn't feel with her again until the end, when she finally got things straight as even a child could have a forty-five minutes or so earlier. Dramatically, I was already quite a bit lost by then. But I liked the end, the spin on romance, Hugh Grant's performance for reasons I won't mention out of fear of wrecking some of the plot.

A well cast, well played, well written, well intentioned film about characters who are welcomably fresh and interesting for the romantic comedy genre. Just one harmful miscalculation in plot timing that hurt it a bit for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A real fun movie, and not only for girls.
Review: Actually this is not particular a girls movie. This movie really makes fun of the main character Bridget. But because she is made fun of it is also a movie for guys. It is more of a girl movie because probably a lot of girls have the same situations as Bridget. I know I do.
The movie is really about struggling to find yourself.
Why I love this movie so much is because I really think that Renee has done a good job. It's a real fun movie. I even laughed at bits nobody else laughed at. I have seen this movie three times in the first week that it opened in our country.
I am definitely going to buy the DVD when it's out !!
This is a SEE/ WANNA BUY movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nothing Beats a Good Romantic Comedy
Review: I didn't see this 5 times in the movie theater for nothing! Rene Z. was great, and Hugh Grant certainly surprised me with his wonderful performance as the handsome cad. Colin Firth, however, was the real reason I loved this film. Even in his "reindeer jumper" he made my heart skip a beat.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Just a Chick Flick
Review: "Bridget Jones's Diary" is much more than a chick flick. This movie has all the makings of the funniest of funnies- it combines comic situations with mature (and not-so-mature) humor, but also takes a more serious tone.

What makes this movie much more than it seems is that it is a modern day Pride and Prejudice. The central characters all line up to Austen's- the plot is very similar, if not exact. Helen Fielding cleverly makes this movie about womens' issues enjoyable even for men. See this movie with a date, or by yourself for a good, hardy laugh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: To my surprise - I love Bridget!
Review: I read the book first, and could _not_ understand why it was selling millions of copies. I just found Bridget Jones extremely boring and stupid. Then I went with some friends to see the film, and came out as a true fan. The film is a lot different from the book, and it works sooo much better. Faster, funnier, more humour, less weight obsession, less parents, and very Pride and Prejudice-like, but I think that's good.
You recognise many things from the book but there are also new stuff, like half the plot for example. But it's excellent! We all left the movie in a great mood, happy and laughing, and I reread the book which I now can stand just because of the great film.
And the actors are fantastic! My favorite is Colin Firth as Mark Darcy. Yum.
All this together just made Bridget Jones sail right up to the top of my feel good-movies list. See it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Love story of the millenium!
Review: I did not read the novel before seeing the movie, so I didn't know what to expect. Renee is brilliant! She never loses her English accent--which is saying a lot because she is from Texas! The two leading men portrayed in this movie remind me of leading men in The Philadelphia Story, two men competing for one woman's affections. This is a classic love story set in the new millenium. You really feel for these characters and wish for more long after the credits roll! I could see this movie again and again. There is a lot of humor mixed with real emotions- a must on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant, Down-To-Earth Romantic Comedy - A Classic
Review: This movie is by no-means a chick-flick and anybody who thinks it is knows very little about women! Every person I know - male and female enjoyed this movie for it's great down-to-earth humour and social realism. It's a breath of fresh air and fills you with a sense of normality and hope. Full marks to Renee who is totally convincing and gorgeous. So many people will be able to relate to this movie, providing that they are of course as natural, unpretentious and real as Bridget herself. Hallaluyah - real thighs do still exist in the movies!!
