Details

Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her various imperfections. As a New Year's resolution, Bridget decides to take control of her life, starting by keeping a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones. Thrown into the mix are Bridget's band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance into whom Bridget cannot seem to stop running or help finding quietly attractive.

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
hborgida As a rom com, this film had humor and romance, but the two didn't mesh well. It was so often cringe-worthy in its attempt to over-normalize Bridget, making audiences truly pity her rather than relate. Even the most socially awkward of us don't spit out our thoughts at the most inappropriate times as she does. Colin Firth managed to portray charm and endearment while remaining externally aloof and haughty, nailing the ideal romantic interest in a way less obvious than usual. Unfortunately Hugh Grant did not pull off the same feat, making it hard to like Daniel Cleaver even in his romantic moments, making the ending all the more predictable to anyone in the audience unaware of the original novel the film is based on, Pride and Prejudice. As a modern adaptation of the classic, it's not as progressive as I'd hoped, with Bridget Jones still seeming too helpless and the male characters still too dominating when not downright harassing, making it seem as if Jones can't handle herself, very unlike the original heroine Lizzie Bennet. All in all, it was an entertaining film that just tried too hard to be relatable, but captured a sweet romantic ending. Perfect for a lonely night in.
bitte_k_i This is Romantic comedy and based on the novel written by Helen Fielding. This story is about a single woman who is struggling to get a boyfriend.Bridget goes to her parent's house on Christmas day. Every year, Bridget's mother introduces her a single boring man. This year she meets a tall man wearing frumpy sweater with a reindeer illustration. She talks with him, Mark. After that, she hears he say criticize about Bridget to his mother. Bridget is indignant at him and starts to write a diary to reconsider about own character. She likes Daniel who is her boss and handsome guy. They get close and date many times, but Daniel is a playboy and he engages to the other American woman. So Bridget quits job and becomes a TV reporter. One day she is invited to her friend's dinner party and encounters Mark there. He ways he likes her. And then, on Bridget's birthday, Mark visit to her. Bridget, Mark and her friends are having party. Then, Daniel comes to the house and says he loves her. Mark gets angry and they fight. On Christmas, listening to Pamela's story, Bridget realizes that Daniel is a liar and Mark is sincere. This story has a lot of funny scenes. My favorite is Daniel looks at Bridget's big underpants. But not just funny scene, it has romantic and sad scenes. You must enjoy this film. This is heart warming amusing story.
SnoopyStyle Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is 32, over-weight, drinks too much, smokes too much, and perpetually single. At the New Year party, her mother tries to set her up with family friends' son divorced lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) who isn't happy with the setup. She starts a diary vowing to fix her life. She has a crush on her boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) at the London publisher. She begins a relationship with him despite his womanizing past. It goes bad and she quits. She gets a spot as a TV reporter which results in some usual reporting. Darcy gets claimed by lawyer colleague Natasha (Embeth Davidtz). Darcy and Cleaver were once best friends but an affair with Darcy's wife have made them enemies. She bounces back and forth between Darcy and Cleaver. All the while, Bridget's parents' marriage is in trouble.Renée Zellweger is adorably awkward. She does some tough work transforming herself into a chubby Brit. I'm sure a real Brit would probably work better but Zellweger does a good job. Also there is a question of exactly how chubby she really is. The movie tries to accentuate her weight but she's never not adorable. The story is fun and sitcomy. It has its own heart especially with her father played by Jim Broadbent. It has two dashing male leads and all the angsty love triangle fun in the world.
Aqessa Aninda Oetamadi An insecure 30-something woman had affair with her womanizer boss, intimidated by a perfect human rights lawyer that turns out he likes her just the way she is..A very funny and romantic film with snow and London views. A charming Colin Firth, a cool Hugh Grant, silly and funny Renee Zellweger with romantic songs as the soundtrack such as Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross and I'm Every Woman by Chaka Kahn.My favorite part are: - When Darcy told Bridget that he likes her just the way she is - When Darcy and Bridget had having dinner with Bridget friends - When Darcy beat Daniel - When Bridget resigned - When Bridget just knew that Darcy wasn't wrong - When Bridget ran off to Darcy with leopard underpants in the snow
