An absolute waste of money

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
