Summary: Very funny....
Review: This has to be the funniest chick flick I have seen in ages. While it doesn't follow the book exactly, it does grasp some of the funnier moments and situations. Just the fact that they actually picked Colin Firth to play Mark Darcy is quite humorous indeed since the character was based on Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy in the BBC mini series Pride and Prejudice to begin with. I also noticed that they sort of took ideas from both books for this movie, which leaves me wondering why they would think of doing a sequel to this movie. Anyways, this movie is hysterically funny and yet very sweet.

Summary: An entirely enjoyable chick flick
Review: Bought this one for my wife for Christmas and must say that I really enjoyed it. Good story, great acting and lots of laughs. Zellweger is entirely believable as a Brit which surprised me. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Summary: Instant feelgood classic!
Review: Now this movie took me utterly by surprise. Saw it in a Sneak Preview over a year ago. It takes about 20 seconds to get into the fun, and it just doesn't let go!Also, this movie is a milestone; it's the first time ever that I actually enjoyed watching Hugh Grant. He really is the perfect arrogant son of a...
The story centers around Bridget Jones. Female, 32 (and counting) she fears her life is going exactly nowhere. After another disappointing Christmas at her disfunctional family's home she decides to take matters in her own hands. She starts writing a diary about her mishaps, her job, her weight, her alcohol consumption and her lovelife. This movie's absolutely brilliant!

Summary: Dear Diary: This movie is v. good!!!1
Review: Not to be overly enthusiastic, but oh how I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie! Oh, what the hey, I can't help but be overly enthusiastic about such a warm,funny, cute, witty,and just absolutely adorable, feel-good movie as Bridget Jone's Diary! I have but a handful of "favorite comedies" that I never grow tired of watching (and seem to find funnier with each successive viewing) and Bridgette is now one of the handful - perhaps she's even on the top of the pile! This is one of those movies you most definitely should buy, simply because it makes you happy to watch it. No matter how depressed or cranky you might be, this movie is like the best therapy around! It will put you in a good mood - I guarrantee! Why? First of all, it's funny! Very, very funny; funny in a cute, silly sort of way, not a tacky, tasteless, Scary Movie sort of way. This is a movie that's just bursting with fantastically silly dialogue - and the best dialogues are the ones going on right inside Bridgette's own head! It all boils down to something people tend to forget about: The Writing! And the writing for this movie is excellent! Okay, next: the character of Bridgette Jones; played to perfection by Renee Zellwinger (who, by the way, I was not very crazy about before this movie, but this woman can really do comedy and her English accent is dead-on! Plus, she's not afraid to look bad; very commendable for an actress). The character is adorable! She's so humble and lovable - you will indeed fall in love with her. You just can't help it! Unfortunately, for her, she falls in love with Hugh Grant's character in the movie, who plays her "playboy of a boss"! And as everyone knows, Hugh Grant is fantastic at playing those rakish "bad boy types"! So the acting is good; the writing is good; and never once does it lose steam or become boring. And here's another thing; this movie has depth. It's not your typical slap-stick just going for the humor comedy. It's not some boring old cliche of a romance, either. No, it's much, much more. It's funny; yes, but it also has heart and soul! Then ending, I promise you, will raise your endorphin levels to new heights! What's the movie about? Well, it's about a single thirty-something woman living in London who drinks too much, can't seem to meet the "right sort of men", and basically feels her life is a mess. So, on New Year's, she decides to start keeping a diary, lose some weight, cut out the drinking; and basically get her life back on track. Like most resolutions, though, they seem to get swept down the toilet! Is this a chick flick? I suppose some people would say yes (possibly men)! But honestly, my husband liked this movie, too. Maybe not as much as me, but I have to be honest. It would be hard to like this movie as much as me! But go ahead; give it a try and see what you think! Whether you're in your thirties, single, or not, I think that Bridgette Jones Diary is a very special movie. And I have brand new respect for Renee Zellwinger!

Summary: A must have for any single girl
Review: This is the perfect movie to watch when you feeling the burn of singlehood. This movie always cheers me up. Of course, how could it not...you have Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in it. What a combo and what other eye candy could a girl ask for.

Summary: LOVED the first Half... Second Half... Trite....
Review: Bridget Jones is the story of... well... Bridget Jones, a 32 year old woman whose 'biological clock' is ticking. Bridget, (Renee Zellweger) is in love with her boss Grant, is set up with a blind date, glum sad-sack Colin. Bridget's innocent flirtation with her boss, ends up in an affair, which, Bridget hopes will lead to marriage. Grant had other ideas. Bridget is an endearing character. She is not anorexic, drinks too much, smokes too much and TALKS to much, often saying the wrong thing in the process.. She has a group of campy friends who support her and an eccentric set of parents. I really liked the first half of Bridget Jones. I guess, I disliked the second half, because I felt there was no spark between her and actor Colin. I also thought he was kind of a dork, and he never smiled. He reminded me of Samantha's disapproving Darren character from the 70's sitcom bewitched. Urk. I also didn't like the movie's message. Bridget is not anyone until she has a man to fulfill her. Puhleezee. So, I found it entertaining, but it was not a keeper. I still am not sure what the fuss is about.

Summary: Adorable video, better than the book!
Review: Loved the book, loved the video even more! Casting is outstanding, with Colin Firth and Hugh Grant vying for Renee Zellweger. Even though it is done with a British slant, you will laugh throughout the video. My second favorite Colin Firth video---check him out in Pride and Predjudice-WOW!

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: My daughter and I had just returned from England and we went to see this movie, not realizing where it was filmed. We went because we like Renee Zellweiger. We laughed ourselves silly. She is 15 and I much older, yet we laughed at the same things. Because we go to the UK as often as possible we understand accents and slangs that most Americans don't get. We just wanted to jump into the screen and be back there! While I must say that the outcome is predictable, we do have a lot of fun getting there. Hugh Grant was perfectly slimy and Colin Firth was perfectly boring in a nice sort of way. I told my daughter that this is how it is with Mothers and daughters. Any boy my mother thought I should date was the one I stayed away from and I expect her to do the same. It's just human nature as Jane Austen and Helen Fielding seem to understand. I am now purchasing the DVD for my oldest daughter who is also an Anglophile but didn't come with us. She is not old enough to be in Bridget's position yet but this will make her feel better about the whole dating situation and hopefully alleviate some of the pressure that society (and mothers) put on young women to find a mate. All in all, I will watch this film several times, I'm sure!

Summary: Pretty good movie, but can't compare to the book
Review: Renee Z. does a FAIRLY convincing job of portraying my favorite British heroine, however, that Texas accent still shines through now and then. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are wonderful and go a long way toward redeeming this movie.
