Summary: Great movie for a rainy night!
Review: ...This movie is a gut buster and an honest look at being single at the end of the 20th century. Renee Zelwieger is amazing and totally deserved her Oscar nod! Colin Firth just ooozes restrained sexual appeal and Hugh Grant makes a very good "cad." Love it!!

Summary: The hilarious truth about women
Review: This movie is so funny because it tells the truth about what women think about men, and other day to day activities that we go through. The thought process that Bridget Jones goes through when getting dressed for her date, every women will completely relate to it. This story is about an ordinary women trying to get past her self-esteem issues, and is trying to feel sexy, even on the days when she doesn't. Bridget Jones could be your best friend, or even you.

Summary: Renee Zellweger
Review: Renee Zellweger is going to win the best actress Oscar. A delightful screwball romantic comedy, which, until this film, was a lost art.

Summary: Love it, love it, love it!
Review: This movie is good entertainment. Renee Zellweger is adorable in role as a girl that just can't seem to get her act together. Colin Firth is his typical cool Brit, which I can't get enough of. I loved it and have watched it dozens of times. It's right up there with Pretty Woman. I would love to tell you more, but if you have not seen it, I don't want to spoil anything.P.S. If you loved Colin Firth in Pride & Prejudice, he plays Mark DARCY in this movie. You have got to see it!

Summary: Worst movie - not for guys.
Review: This movie is not for guys. I love movies and I was totally irritated by this movie. There wasn't one good thing I can write about this movie. I have always disliked the actress who plays the title character, but I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. Well, let me spare you some money- I would not see this movie if I get paid to do so. It was waste of time (I saw at on DVD). None of the DVD features impressed me. Movie Rating: -2* out of 10* (Worst movie in couple of years)
DVD Rating: 3* out of 10

Summary: So V. Good
Review: Although not as good as the books, this movie is a lot of fun to watch. Very satisfying and positive, it really stands out in the "romance" films genre, because Bridget is such a likeable character. Most romance film protagonists are sappy, idealized, unrealistic stereotypes of women. Bridget, however, is a remarkable character, flaws and all. She's very human, very real. Alot of women can relate to her & her attempts at bettering herself (i.e. constant calorie counting & trying to be more "sophisticated") and finding a decent guy.
And also, one need not be single nor a girl to enjoy this movie. My husband and I both really enjoyed it. It was so much fun--we laughed lots.
To the girls, I can't recommend a better, more upbeat romantic comedy. A great movie to watch when you are feeling low, because it's certain to make you smile.
To the guys out there, if you'd like a little peek into the female mind, check out this film. I can't speak for all girls of course, but Bridget and I sure have lots in common!

Summary: Bridget Does Hollywood
Review: ...I had actually looked forward to the release of Helen Fieldings novel " Bridget Jones Diary " on the big screen. Though, in the words of most of my male friends, considering this to be a 'chick flick' ...I had thought the movie sounded promising plus, being a life-long fan of Richard Curtis...I'm willing to see almost anything with his talents attached to the screen-writing credits. Perhaps I should begin by simply stating that as far as the lead character Bridget is concerned, American actress Rene Zellweger does a marvelous job portraying the frumpy thirty-something Ms. Jones as a slightly over-weight, hopelessly neurotic, and at times even 'boyfriend obsessed' career girl in London. I could make a point of them not finding a proper British actress to fill the role but I do understand the studio's need to have a 'name' to sell more tickets upon it's release. That being said....while I have not read the novel on which the film is based I must say I was slightly disappointed by the almost sloppy comedic aspect that permeats the entire movie. Don't misunderstand me, I thought the film had it's moments....it just seemed after a short while that I was watchng a film that was simply made up of chaotic scenes with Bridget falling into one crisis or another. Comedy that, for the most part, seemed far too broad and slapstick to be able to stand up under the riguers of an entire film. While some of the lighter moments did hold up well ( I did enjoy the 'panties' scene with the incorrigable Hugh Grant ) I can still remember cringing upon the scene with Bridget sliding down the firefighters pole while there under the premise of conducting a story. A calculated scene that came across as merely 'silly', as opposed to being laugh out loud funny! Plus, attending a function dressed as a Playboy bunny, mistakingly believing it was a costume party, was far too contrived to get a laugh out of this viewer. Simply put, much of what I was seeing just seemed too forced for me to believe that alot of time and effort went into the actual writting of this once promising comedy. And, unfortunately, that is quite possibly the focal point of this less than sterling review.... A book that is as highly thought of and universally enjoyed, on both sides of the Atlantic, by so many delighted readers can generally be seen as a 'blessing and a curse' for the studio that brings that well loved novel to the 'big screen.' Stay true to the essence of the lead characters many comedic episodes ( and the spirit of the novel! ) and hopefully you've a captured audience far too enraptured with seeing their heroine on 'larger-than-life' before them. And, ( with any luck! ) many of the films obvious short-comings simply go by unnoticed in some viewers over eager desire's to truly enjoy what they are seeing. My 'gut-feeling' suggests that many film goers had, quite possibly, already had decided that this was a movie that were going to enjoy....almost regardless of what they were viewing on the screen. As long as the producers didn't tamper too much with the original format than I do believe that many ticket holders had subconciously walked into the theatre simply ready to be thoroughly enjoyed by Bridget and Co. A more self-fullfilled prophecy I've yet to see concerning an audience's expectations upon entering a movie theatre. I'm not suggesting that the makers of " Bridget...." are being disingenious, it seems as if they are simply being 'creatively lazy' in bringing a product to the screen that asks the audience to cheer on our protagonist simply by virtue of the viewer's loyalty to her in book form. Overall, while there were some enjoyable aspects of the movie ( casting Hugh Grant as Bridget's obnoxious boss and swarmy love interest was a stroke of genius! ) it generally left me with the unsettling feeling that this was a movie that was trying far too hard to be liked. Again, pleasant enough but in the end feeling as though an opportunity had been lost. And that is perhaps the real shame here.....Bridget should be shown as a complete, whole woman, not a silly caricature of who we think she should be. 3.5 Stars

Summary: Or...Bridget Jones's Diary-ahh...
Review: Boy if this isn't the kiss of death to 1000 years of western culture then I don't know my Spengler. What is it with this Zellweger person? Is she a new generation of Gremlin? All that fuzzy seduction with so much banal poison underneath. From Nurse Betty to this. Phew. ...
