Bridget Jones's Diary DVD > Reviews

Advantages: acting, script, and a bit to close to the truth of all of us at some points!
Disadvantages: none

...(of Jerry Macguire fame) is Bridget Jones. 32 going on 33, single, looking for a man, wine-swigging, chain smoking, neurotic and not exactly in her ideal job. Sound familiar? Any female over the age of 25 will find at least one thing in common with Bridget, and we've all done at least one of the things that she manages to blunder her way into during the film. There were quite a few guys in the audience as well, who also laughed (not just a chick flick), ... Read review

Advantages: Funny, well made, great acting
Disadvantages: A little predicable and maybe a little too soppy for some

...cast Renée Zellweger (Jerry Maguire) as Bridget Jones. Hugh Grant (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and every other sodding film ever made) as Daniel Cleaver. Colin Firth (Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient and the BBCs' Pride and Prejudice) as Mark Darcy (obviously likes playing Mr Darcys ;-) ) The story Bridget Jones is a fictitious character, brain-child of Independent newspaper columnist, Helen Fielding. ...

Advantages: Funny, brilliant characters, and everything else about the film!
Disadvantages: They've waited this long to make the next one!

...Diary' stars Renee Zellweger, as Bridget Jones, Hugh Grant, as Daniel Cleaver, Bridget Jones's Boss and potential Love Interest, and Colin Firth, as Mark Darcy, Bridget's other potential love interest. The film feature fantastic performaces from these actors, as well as other characters, who are also portrayed fantastically! Renee Zellweger plays Bridget excellently and I couldn't believe it the other day when I found out she was actually American! The ... Read review

Advantages: Acting
Disadvantages: Humor, Soundtrack

...not happening”. Each time Bridget Jones manages to end up in the most impossible situations, like serving blue soup to her friends. It’s so implausible, that it isn’t funny anymore. Anyway, it’s possible you had a good laugh, but I hated it! Acting (4/5) -------- Let’s not slate it entirely, the acting was without a doubt good: - Renée Zellweger really does her best to be a “Bridget Jones”-type woman, ... Read review

Advantages: great fight scenes, funny
Disadvantages: bad english accent

...In this extreme circumstance Bridget Jones was favourable. Oh I hate the way that everyone else was right- the film was actually very good and very funny. Renneé Zellweger (excuse my spelling) was a fantastic Bridget Jones (although the put-on English accent was really irritating) and Colin Firth and Hugh Grant were brilliant supporting actors. If anyone doesn't know by now, Bridget Jones is a 32 year-old single woman and the film follows the incidents ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny and believable
Disadvantages: Not as good as could've been

...opinions will know, I adore Bridget Jones. She’s toe-curlingly embarrassing, neurotic and very very funny. The books make me laugh out loud (not very handy when you’re reading in bed and Darling Hubby is trying to sleep!!) and I was so looking forward to seeing the movie adaptation; I hadn’t been this excited since Christmas (and there wasn’t a turkey curry buffet in sight, thank God!!) So we saw it. And it was…it ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound track,
Disadvantages: Actress had an annoying voice

...Ok so I’m not quite Bridget Jones yet but I’m sure Frances’ Diary wouldn’t have been such a box office hit perhaps a suitable sequel you never know!...no seriously I am depressed I could see myself turning into a Bridget Jones type, sitting at home every night with wine (and chocolate as a substitute for love (and cigarettes) …The best film I have seen for years has sent me into depression….why? I hear you shout, ... Read review

Advantages: funny, good acting
Disadvantages: nothing new

...2 hours since I saw Bridget Jones Diary and I feel I must share my opinion on it. I am a man of 22 years and haven't read the book this film was based on. The character of Bridget Jones is someone that women can relate to a lot better then men. But even so I enjoyed the movie a great deal. We meet Bridget (Zellwegger), a thirty-something woman who's search for a man has been empty for a few years. She's a chain-smoking, booze drinking girl ... Read review

Advantages: Incredibly funny
Disadvantages: A lot missed out from the book

...Of Film: About 93mins The film Bridget Jones’s Diary is from the book of the same name written by Helen Fielding. I would certainly recommend reading the book first before seeing the film as it is more detailed and quite a lot of the plot is lost in the film. Main Cast: Bridget Jones – Renee Zellweger Daniel Cleaver – Hugh Grant Mark Darcy – Colin Firth Bridget Jones is a thirty something ‘singleton’ living in London who smokes like ... Read review

Advantages: Funny and good to watch
Disadvantages: Lots of girlie moments

Bridget Jones Diary has been classed as the ultimate chick flick, so as a guy you can imagine the horror look on my face when I arrived at the cinema, expecting to see a totally different film only to be told the tickets for said diary film were already purchased. I consoled myself with a vast quantity of chocolate from the kiosk and went into the auditorium. After the trailers (which I was looking forward to more than the film) it began, and I ...

Advantages: It's funny, light, frivolous and generally amusing
Disadvantages: Quite short

...the large red diary that Bridget (Renee Zellweger) is frequently reading/writing. Moreover, the diary is very nearly her ultimate downfall as she negotiates her way through a complicated series events, most of which seem to involve her (eventually ex-)boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). But still, the difficulty with the underlying diary form is finding a way to sustain the dramatic movement and intensity. The film is ... Read review

Advantages: Funny,decent soundtrack,can identify with main character!
Disadvantages: more for girls,men may not be so keen
