Bridget Jones's Diary/Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason DVD

Advantages: 1st films good.
Disadvantages: 2nd film's not so good.

...works. Renee has chemistry with both Mark Darcy & her boss Daniel Cleaver, and with a very good cast it's a perfect film to watch with the girls. I didn't enjoy the first book, mainly because I saw the film first, I think that always recks your opinion of the book. Sharon McGuire has made this film fantastic, I can watch it over and over without getting bored. Bridget Jones Diary: The Edge Of Reason Unlike the first film I was really disapointed with the second film. I has read the book and loved it, it's so much better than the first book but they took too much out of the film. I also think Renee Zellwegers accent gets worse in this second film, it actually sounds fake, plus there is too many soppy moments in the film that are not in the book, the scene at the start is terrible. There's not much I can say about this film, it's fun... Read review

Advantages: the funniest film oout of the two yet
Disadvantages: a little similar to the last one

...She’s back and she’s better than ever. Yes its Bridget Jones diary. For those people who haven’t seen this follow up film, I recommend that you all go and see it because it is the best film of the year. If you’ve had a stressful day, order in a takeaway, chill, sit back, relax and watch this film and laugh yourself silly! Starring the same cast members plus other new extras that you’ve seen on TV or in Hollywood. The plot Well, in the last film, Bridget (Renee Zellweger) got it together with mark Darcy (Colin firth), the high respectable lawyer, after a rough time with Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) her cheating, sex mad ex boyfriend and old boss. So this basically carries on from the last film, but in this one, there are more laugh out loud embarrassing moments, and more problems and hurdles she has to overcome. It starts off with her...

Advantages: 3 great films, hilarious, cheap
Disadvantages: cant think of any!

...This boxset is perfect for any Hugh Grant fan with the three films Bridget Jones, Bridget Jones Edge of Reason and About a boy you will not be at all disappointed! Bridget Jones 1 Bridget Jones is an hilarious film taken from a novel by Helen Fielding. Renne Zelleweger plays the lead role of Bridget Jones who is a single women who falls for the gorgeous and witty Daniel Cleaver (played by Hugh Grant) but he isnt all what he seems and has various affairs. Bridget turns up to a posh party dressed as a very tarty rabbit, lets her mum dress her at xmas parties and is always on a diet. She eventually falls for the very successful Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth). Any women watching this film will cringe as they relate to the hilarious happenings in Bridgets life. The Edge of Reason This carrries on from the first film and again is just... Read review

Advantages: Funny, Great Actors
Disadvantages: 'Chick flick' staus

...there was huge controversy in her being given the part. This is due to Renee originally being from Texas, and therefore needed to have her voice trained and learn some British Culture. Colin Firth was always going to be Mark Darcy, due to his part in Pride and Prejudice and we can all imagine Hugh Grant, as the boss who would sleep around! I also highly recommend the special features on the DVD which include some deleted scenes, which are well worth watching. IF you have not yet seen Bridget Jones then I suggest you do so as soon as you can, owing to the sequel – Bridget Jones: The edge of Reason being released in Cinemas on November 12th. I’m sure it will provide more laughs and more embarrassment for poor old Bridget. For Bridget Jones – Just as she is… P.S - Im sorry I have not written for a long time, Im going to start writing again... Read review

Advantages: Hillarious
Disadvantages: none

...After waiting a long time for this film to come out I was definately not disappointed, the wait was well worth it! I did wonder whether this film could be as good as the first Bridget Jones Diary and it met my expectations. Bridget still plays a not so great journalist who is now dating the lovely Colin Farrell, which seems to be going well until the character Hugh Grant plays turns up. The story shows the ever eventful life of Bridget Jones from the embarrassing antics she gets up to, a working trip to Thailand and then being arrested, and again the ever amusing fight in the street between Bridget Jones' love rivals!! Renee Zelwegger's performance is great.............bring on the Bridget Jones 3! Not only is the film great but the soundtrack is a must buy as well.... Read review

Advantages: Good Fun!
Disadvantages: Very similar to first film!

...Bridget Jones Edge of Reason 'Same Bridget, Brand New Diary' 2005, Rating 15, Running Time 1hr 43 mins approx. Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason is an entertaining film but in my mind too similar to the first film Bridget Jones. Bridget Jones was unique and funny, it was fresh and new, The Edge of Reason is a copycat of this, it uses the same gags as the first film, but as we all know it is never as funny the second time around. Although entertaining in parts I wish it were a little more original. The Story: In Bridget Jones we watched Bridget (Rene Zellweger) go from single to couple, now that she has found her man The Edge of Reason shows her struggle to keep hold of him. Bridget is now coupled with the gorgeous Mark Darcey (Colin Firth) a Human Rights Lawyer and she is very happy. This of course doesn't stop Bridget making... Read review
