...‘wanton s ex go dess’ Bridget Jones, excellently in the film: “Bridget Jones’s Diary”. She plays a woman in her early thirties, and feeling unloved and desperate! As the film unfolds it tells of her day-to-day life, as she reads from her diary! Each time she reads from her diary, she tells us her weight, how many cigarettes she’s smoked, how much drink she’s drunk etc. (i.e. 9 st 2lb, 40 cigarettes, half bottle ...

Advantages: Great script Excellent cast Disadvantages: Misconceptions as a girls only show
...This was true of Bridget Jones. Although I couldn't identify with the short skirts, low tops and bunny outfits (altough they were much appreciated) the fight scene and general relationship malaise were touch stones.
4 weddings and Nottinghill were great shows and this ranks up there with them (above Nottinghill but not as good as 4 weddings). I am proud that the British film industry has once again revealed a gem to the world. Leading roles and ...

...New Year's Day 30 something, Bridget Jones, decides to change her single status and to keep a diary while she is at it.
First, she resolves to lose 20 pounds, and find a nice boyfriend who isn't a 'pervert, a peeping-tom or an emotional f***wit'.
The very British Bridget Jones is played by American actress Renee Zellweger. Renee had to do a lot of homework before she turned herself into Bridget. She worked part time in a publishers office. ...

...casting of Renee Zellweger as Bridget herself, which many said would not work but seemingly does.
Anyway, enough with the analysis of the casting and down to the film. I love it. Love it love it. What can you say wrong about this film? The character of Bridget is comical but also poignant as aspects of her can be found in most women not just in Britain but around the modern world. It is unfortunately a contemporary film; I cannot see my kids relating ...

...to the cinema to see Bridget Jones Diary after hearing about what a funny film it is and that it is well worth watching.
I went with some friends and we all found the film hilarious. It is about a women ( Bridgette Jones) who at first fancys her boss. To get his attention she finally does something drastic, she goes to work with a see through dress on.
Her boss, who is played by Hugh Grant, finally realises he likes her. They go off one weekend ...

...acted out and quite believable. Bridget flits between one and the other with Hillarious consiquences. This is probably the films strongest point - The comedy element! It is a very funny film and one particular incident involving blue soup will never be forgotten.
To conclude the film is suitable for a wide audience - It combines commedy, romance and an interesting storyline well ...

Advantages: Very funny, good characters, not too long Disadvantages: The storyline could have been a little more original
When one has within the last twenty-four hours, witnessed true genius, he feels he need to tell all. I'm afraid I am in that situation, as last night, I went to see what has now become one of my favourite films. The storyline is a little less original than some of its characters, and the way Mr. Darsey is portrayed once again so brilliantly br Colin Firth helps the film a great deal.
Bridget Jones works as a secretary in a publishing house to Hugh ...

...Oeuf" and the scene where Bridget leaves her job and dresses Daniel down in front of the whole office. Or maybe it's the romance with Mark where she chases him down the street in just a vest top and leopardprint knickers! Whatever it is, this film has something that all women can relate to, and even my guy mates laugh when Daniel and Mark have the punch up, so I rest my case on this being possibly the best film about women ever made, and one of the ...

...I have ever seen - Bridget Jones's Diary. Bridget Jones, played by Renne Zellweger, is a spinster, in her 30's working in the publishing industry. The movie tells of one year of her Diary, trying to find the right man.
Basically, the man she falls in love initally - Daniel, her boss (played by Hugh Grant) is the wrong one. I won't go into details as that would spoil the plot. The right man for her is actually Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) who her mother ...

I first started to learn about dear bridget, when the articles were written in The Independant. very quirky and funny they made me excited to wait 2 weeks for the next thrilling installment. Then the book, which still had me laughing. I usually am always the first to say "The book was way better . . ." But no, this film was wicked. I loved it. At one point I was crying with laughter. Hugh Grant looks very sexy, and it is a lovely heart warming story. ...

We watched the much hyped Bridget Jones's diary this afternoon and really enjoyed it. The film is full of charm and laughs, and I would thoroughly recommend it. I am sure that most people know the storyline, we follow a year in the life of a single, thirtysomething neurotic London girl played by American actress Renee Zellweger. Two very different men vie for her attention, one of them is the likeable rogue Daniel played by Hugh Grant, and the other ...

Advantages: Good feel good film Disadvantages: Predictable, but then aren't they all
Let me begin by saying Bridget Jones's Diary is a damn fine film. And that is a view coming from a male who is rating what most would deem a 'woman's' film. There are no special effects with a chisel-faced hero; there is no whip-wracking moodiness of every man's heroism, fending off poisonous snakes and killer spiders deep in the jungle. No, none of that.
Bridget Jones (played by Renee Zellweger) is the typical thirty-something singleton, unglamorous ...
