Fabulous Flick - Even better than the book

I just love this movie. An absolutely wonderful, believable storyline. Solid performances by Renee Zellwegger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

This of course was based on a book, which was a great read. I must say, that this is one of those rare instances where I actually loved the movie even more so than the book as the story just seemed even more believable.

Renee Zellwegger is quite endearing in this movie and I actually think it's one of her best performances. She's charming, funny, and does a great job getting you to fall in love with Bridget. I also think her accent was fabulous.

Loved Hugh Grant in this one as it's a little different than his usual nice guy persona....it really works and he really makes you laugh. Even though he's the womanizer in this film, he still is quite likable as you see that he and Bridget genuninely seem to have fun together. (despite his "wandering" ways.)

Collin Firth is a mostly uptight and serious attorney who has trouble letting hair down (unlike Bridget), but you can really see him falling for Bridget during the movie and all of their encounters. (more so than the book). He's also quite charming and surprisingly sexy as well. You find yourself rooting for him over the likeable Daniel Cleaver character played by Hugh Grant.

Liked this one so much, I had to own it.....Great movie, while somewhat of a "chick" type flick, I can see it appealing to a larger audience as it's got lots of humor, but not too slapstick.

Excellent

Love Bridget Jones - I have purchased 2 DVDs (just in case one is "damaged" from overuse.

My only disappointment is that I would have liked the full screen version and when I went to order it you no longer had it in stock.

Perhaps you'll restock?

Funny

This is an all time funny classic with an all star cast. It keeps you smiling the whole time!

You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you wandered out of Auschwitz.

OK, I am an avid fan of Jane Austen, but Bridget Jones is NOTHING like Austen. Anyone with the slightest of ideas on the subject can see that.

Helen Fielding wrote both the novel and the screenplay to Bridget Jones's Diary and yes, it is loosely based on Pride and Prejudice. Can I repeat loosely!!! After seeing The BBC version of Pride and Prejudice Fielding based the male character of Mark Darcy on Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, because of course she was taken by him and Colin Firth's portrayal.(as so many of us also are) Other than some basic character traits they really are two completely different tales about different sets of people in drastically different times.

But with all Austen-isms aside, Bridget Jones(Renee Zellweger) is a strong, typical woman who is all too familiar to many of us. She finds answers to problems in vodka and Chaka Khan, has issues with her body and is after all the wrong men! There is something about Bridget all of us can identify with.

Yes, slightly more promiscuous perhaps, maybe a bit more of a gutter-mouth but she's a character none-the-less.

Bridget is full of spunk and won't let anything or anyone keep her down, and in that aspect she is a real inspiration.

Mark Darcy(Colin Firth) and Daniel Cleaver(Hugh Grant) are enjoyable in there opposite of the spectrum characters, both after the affection of Miss. Jones.

Set Austen aside, and try it for what it is.

Great movie

Bridget Jones is fabulous. She shows us that every woman is lovable and desirable and just a little messed up.
