...Renée Zellweger - Bridget Jones (Jerry Maguire, Miss Potter, Chicago, Cold Mountain, Down With Love) Our heroin, brilliant portrayed by this American Actress. When it was first leaked that Renee would playing the UK's favourite fictitious heroine in the movie remake of Helen Fielding's brilliant book, the audience (and I) were not convinced this was what we imagined for this character.

Bridget Jones was a mere fictional character reated by the author Helen Fielding until the year 2001 when she also came alive on our screens courtesy of Renee Zellweger. The first film version of the novel was a runaway success at the box office, and so followed the second film, based on the 2nd book Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. This one wasn't such a success but is still up there in my top ten films! Here goes the review of both films. Bridget ...
...to make the character of Bridget realistic. Her love interests are played by 2 of the best British actors of our time. Hugh Grant takes on his role as a cad, playing the dastardly womaniser Daniel Cleaver. Having only seen Hugh as the romantic male lead before, I absolutely loved him in this role, and I think he plays the villain superbly! Daniel and Bridget have a sexual banter between them, and Bridget is keen to make it more... The other love ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, charming, heartwarming, can relate
Disadvantages: None

...with the book, is that Bridget always reminds me of me a few years ago. What crazy, unloved and desperate you say?! No, because I was in my early 20's when I read/saw this movie but I think just about every women can relate in some way or at some point to what Bridget has been through, a bad date, feeling like you're never going to meet someone, unrequited love so it makes it all that more real to us. Like I said Bridget Jones's Diary was first ...
...in 2001. Bridget is played, extremely well, in my opinion by the lovely Renee Zellweger. There were some bad thoughts about her being cast at first as she is American and Bridget is most definitely an English lass but she pulls off the English accent very well and in my opinion was the perfect person to play this role. (She has gone on to play Beatrix Potter as well so proof she can do English accents). She even gained weight to play the character ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny and has Colin Firth yum!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

Once I had seen the first film I heard about the second one being made and I just could not wait to see how that one would turn out.

...read/watch over all. Bridget Jones's Diary 1: This film starts off with a 30 something Bridget going to her parents house (which is set near where I live) and her talking about her life in a narrated form. Bridget played by the wonderful Renee Zellweger is set up again by her mother, but this year it happends to be the hot Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) wearing a terrible jumper his mother gave him. He says something horrible like "Epesially not someone ...
...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. ...
