 Bridget JonesFeb 12, 2010

Love This Movie - Never get tired of itFeb 10, 2010
I will start with the fact that I have not read the book. I understand from some of the fans who love the book, that the movie is a dissapointment.
I love love love this movie. Bridget is a funny, quirky, endearing girl and she just wants love. Our villain (the oh so fabulous Hugh Grant) is wonderful in this. He is charming while being slimey and you understand his motives in the end. Our hero, oh wait, let me emphasize that - OUR HERO, Mark Darcy played by Colin Firth is perfectly cast.
He actually is doing a version of Mr. Darcy (which he so wonderfully played in Pride & Prejudice), set in modern day England. He is a stodgy, boring lawyer who eventually falls for the charms of our gal Bridget and they fall in love.
This movie is funny, sweet, romantic and most of us girls with a few extra pounds love that Bridget is unapologetic for it. We love her and this movie.

A classic!Dec 03, 2009
An absolute classic! I quote more one-liners from this film than I even realize! BJD II was stink-o, so stick with the original and you'll have hours and hours of laughs about the follies of thirtysomething singlehood.

 Predictable but painlessNov 26, 2009
I actually watched the sequel several years ago and disliked it. I heard, though that this, the original, was quite good so I watched it. It was better than the sequel but nothing to brag about. The cast is first-rate but the plot is so silly and predictable that it doesn't give them much to work with. Renee Zelwegger is pretty good as the pleasingly plumped-up Bridget who is in her 30's and without a man in her life. She falls for the scoundrel Hugh Grant, who is always quite convincing as the charming cad and ignores the decent, square-jawed but boring Colin Firth. We know the ending from the beginning so there's nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the show, if you enjoy this kind of thing.
Zellwegger is surely a game actress and gives every role her all, if it's the floozy dancer in Chicago (her best role, in my opinion) or the poor Southerner in Lone Mountain that won her an Oscar. She has an innate likability, too, that makes watching her for two hours bearable, even in this silly story. I like Colin Firth a lot and regret that there was not more of his presence here. The parents were shown to be awfully stupid and hardly believable.
Silly, but there are a lot of worse films around.
