Summary: Bridget Jones Diary
Review: I loved this movie, what stands out the most is how Bridget's Character continues to make a fool of herself each time she opens her mouth//its amazing to watch, but she still manages to come through charming and on top. I would recommend this movie for anyone who loves light airy love stories, and the soundtrack is kickin.

Summary: Diary of a Not So Madwoman
Review: BRIDGET JONES' DIARY is a refreshing mix of actually funny intellectual and slapstick comedy. This is a story about a single workingwoman in her 30's making her way through the ever-convoluted "dating scene". It is not about the much media-touted CEO who, in her 20's, has turned down an onslaught of marriage proposals for a lucrative career. DIARY is more representative of the average woman who did not marry at a young age, and who over the years comes to find dating much like rolling around in a minefield. By her early to mid-thirties, Miss Jones has begun to ponder the likelihood of never marrying, of dying alone, her unfound body getting eaten by dogs, or - even scarier - ending up like Glen Close in FATAL ATTRACTION. All this while plagued by invasive references to her ticking biological clock. The freedom to drink and smoke at will, due to her single, childless status, is no longer without consequence, as most who are of a certain age eventually discover. Jones' weight creeps up the scale. Her over-30 constitution has her commenting at a Christmas Day party that she wishes to be "...laying with my head in the toilet like most normal people." Pressing issues such as these are presented with as much fun as possible, while still allowing for the full blow of inevitable stress and self-doubt which results. DIARY is smart, though merciful, in its parody of social pressure to conform, and the individual's various reactions to these less than subtle demands. However, Bridget's recognizable offences do not leave you scoffing with disdain or cringing in horrified self-recognition. Familiar situations reap giggles and identifiable cads and cattiness are almost likable, or just too funny not to enjoy. Renee Zellweger is flawless in her role as Bridget Jones. Her performance and prose are delivered with such smart, smooth mastery that at times it seems she must be ad-libbing as opposed to delivering rehearsed, directed lines. Her mastery of the English dialect is exquisite, and she churns it out as neatly and naturally as adding a lime to gin. Well done! Hugh Grant plays Daniel Cleaver, the all-too-familiar Bad-For-You Boyfriend whom women all too often know and love - Grant's natural charm as the sweet, bumbling sardonic nice boy does not get lost in this bad boy role. In no way does his character become the villain you love to hate. In fact, you just love him! Like Zellweger, he presents such a hilariously smooth performance, that one comes to wonder how a rehearsed and scripted line can be presented so naturally! Colin Firth is nothing less than perfect in the role of the romantic hero. His initially subdued, straight-laced manner gains depth through interaction with Bridget, Daniel Cleaver, and varied other characters - so that finally the chance of the true sweetness of love comes to light in Bridget's life. I say - Mr. Firth can embody Mr. Darcy quite well in any literary incarnation! The supporting cast includes several actors not mentioned here in detail. Let me just say that they are as brilliant as the stars that have drawn people to this gem - which is without doubt a mosaic worth examining at every detail!

Summary: Zellweger plays a perfect single English woman...
Review: looking for love in all the wrong places. The story reminds me of Pride and Prejudice a little, especially with Colin Firth playing Mr. Darcy. A very cute, entertaining movie.

Summary: A movie to watch again and again
Review: I watched this movie in the theatre having not read the book at all but I was rolling the entire time. It's wonderful, sweet and funny. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are so easy on the eyes. I read the book and watched Pride and Prejudice shorty after seeing this in the theatre and now I'm hooked. This dvd can be put in on a rainy day and you'll laugh at the jokes many times. Renee is very lovable as Bridget. The special features were a bit disappointing but other than that I would recommend this dvd to anyone who loves lovable comedies.

Summary: Boo
Review: I furrow my brow and scratch my head, trying desperately to understand how this movie got rave reviews from so many "Bridgetphiles" out there. If you've read and loved the books, how can you possibly like this movie? Renee Zellweger's accent is too obvious when using phrases like "you're lovely" and words like "perfect". Why does she walk around looking like she sleeps in her clothes and, apparently, doesn't own a hairbrush?? Even more pathetic is the gossip I've heard from the grapevine that they're making a sequel...AAAAAGH! STOP THE MADNESS!! They already took a bit from "Edge of Reason" in the first film- how the heck can they piece it together? Ugh. The only reason for watching this film is the fun and brilliant British ensemble of Jim Broadbent ("Moulin Rouge!" and "Iris"), Gemma Jones ("Sense & Sensibility")Hugh Grant and the Uber-Sexy Colin Firth ("Valmont", "Circle of Friends", "Shakespeare in Love"). Even the choice of Brit funny girl Sally Phillips ("Smack the Pony")as Shazzer was an obscure and perfect fit. So, why give the plum role of Bridget to a Texas-born American? What an obvious and predictable move- Hollywood goes for what they hope is a bankable name rather than give birth to a new, unknown British starlet. And the script? Ugh- hardly close to the book at all.

Summary: Hysterical
Review: This video is a depiction of everything we all think...but would never actually admit! Guys, read the book or watch the move to better understand women. Girls, do either to a)entertain yourself, and b)be assured you aren't crazy... or at least you aren't the only crazy one around ;o) P.S. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are wonderful in this, and Renee Zellwiger is AMAZING. I read the book before I saw it, and was truly impressed with the movie.

Summary: Too funny!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Although the screenplay is not as true to the book as I would like, the spirit is the same. Plus who else could play Mr. Darcy (any Mr. Darcy) better than Colin Firth? If you enjoy this movie, you will most likely enjoy A&E/BBC's adapatation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, also starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. (Both screenplays were adapted by Andrew Davies). Super movie!

Review: Beg to differ with the explicity or implicity stated comments indicating that this was not for guys. My husband (and I both) think this movie is a riot!
