best-selling phenomenon, documentary filmmaker (and real-life inspiration for the character Shazzer) Sharon Maguire has managed a rare feat--a film as captivating as the novel. Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a pretty and neurotic thirtysomething singleton (in her vernacular) who vows to take control of her life after being humiliated by handsome, standoffish barrister, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at her parents' New Year's party. Determined to lose weight and cut back on vices like wine, cigarettes, and workaholic-alcoholic-misogynistic men, Bridget begins a diary to chart her progress. Unfortunately, the P.R. executive hits a snag when her boss, gorgeous cad Daniel (Hugh Grant) instigates a sexy e-mail flirtation. Despite her tendency to bungle book launch parties, and any situation involving the ever-present, ever-disapproving Mark Darcy, Bridget's winning combination of charm, vulnerability, and wit intrigues not only the seductively dangerous Daniel, but also the arrogant barrister. Featuring a note-perfect performance by Zellweger, a devilishly against-type one by Grant, and the inspired casting of Firth (the object of Bridget's lusty fantasies in the book); DIARY is a clever, delightful romantic comedy guaranteed to please old fans and win new ones.n

affair--subtitled "More Music From the Film and Other V.G. Songs", it could be seen to be somewhat stretching the loyalty of wannabe Bridgets everywhere. But then again, when it includes such a great line-up of tracks, it would be churlish to complain. The two glaring omissions fromVolume 1put in a very welcome appearance, namely Van Morrison's "Someone Like You" and Nilsson's "Without You" (albeit without Bridget's somewhat over-exuberant backing vocals), along with the original version of Robbie's "Me and Mrs Jones" by the Dramatics and an acoustic version of the Gabrielle hit "Out of Reach". Nestling comfortably alongside them are a wealth of tracks for the modern singleton--empowerment in the form of En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)", feel-good sentiments from McAlmont and Butler's "Yes" and a good bit of wallowing courtesy of Yvonne Fair's "It Should Have Been Me". The only things that are missing are the free bottle of Chardonnay and the big pants. --Helen Marquis
Bridget Jones's Diary -
Britain's favourite singleton, Bridget Jones, has finally made it to the big screen (and
... more
onto the cover of this 19-track soundtrack), bringing hope to lonely souls all over the country and a word of warning to smug marrieds everywhere. For what should be called "the best chick flick in the world...ever!" the soundtrack compilers have come up with a dream tracklist--from classics such as Aretha Franklin's "Respect", Jamie O'Neal's tearjerker "All By Myself" and Andy Williams' "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", to more contemporary gems from the likes of Gabrielle ("Out of Reach"), The Pretenders ("Don't Get Me Wrong") and Artful Dodger ("Woman Trouble"). Plus you get the added bonus of two unreleased Robbie Williams tracks--the big-band stylings of "Have You Met Miss Jones?" and the tender "Not of this Earth"--and, of course, the much-hyped karaoke-by-numbers of "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell and her pants. There are a couple of fillers from Rosey and Alisha's Attic, but they don't distract too much from the generally choice tracks on offer. As Bridget would say, "v. good". --Helen Marquis
Advantages: 3 fantastic movies, all at once!! Disadvantages: None... but you may end up resembling Bridget.
...a very happy lady.
Bridget Jones' Diary is an essential watch for chick flick fans. It is the original and best of it's type - there have been many copies but none as good. Everything about it is just wonderful - not least the ridiculously satisfying eye candy of both Hugh Grant AND Mr. Colin Firth. Great one liners and reassurance that maybe, just maybe, your Mr Darcy is around the corner... (Yeah right!). And where BJ2 could have gone horribly ... ...because my flatmate and I watched the three films back to back on New Years Day, pyjamas on, sofa and blankets, ice cream and pizza at the ready. Perfect!! The only downside was when our hot neighbour popped round and caught us in the full Bridget Jones-style act. Oh well... ...
