Firth's character could have used a bit more development and time to shine, as you don't necessarily find yourself rooting for him. Zellweger is really great here and she's the main reason this was such a hit.

A delightful little romance with Renee being so cute it's amazing. I read another review which took the picture to task for not capturing the spirit of the book, which may be so, still so far as this kind of schtick goes , this is darling, and made so by Renee's Bridget who is irresistible & hot. Fluffy.

I can't help but cheer every time Bridget gets back at Hugh Grant's cad, and 'Respect' by Aretha Franklin starts playing. Bridget is witty, intelligent, and lovable; it isn't until the sequel that Rene Zellweger decides to play her for cheap laughs.

Bridget Jones's Diary is a classic British comedy about a young woman who is facing an existential crisis concerning her marriage prospects. She is 32-years-old and she isn't sure she is going to find Mr. Right so she starts writing a diary to keep her life in control. Renee Zellweger is wonderful in this movie. Hugh Grant plays a great smarmy boss character and Colin Firth is the guy who should be rooted for but plays a character who doesn't always make it easy.

Ok so it's a chick-flick so not my normal territory. However, this is aimed at and acted by the Notting Hill set. An outstanding performance by Rene Zelwigger who's accent is spotless. Ok if it's raining on a bank holiday.

I felt like it was a reasonably entertaining film - there were a few scenes I really liked and thought were funny, if mostly just cringey (it hasn't aged well). But also it's basically just pride and prejudice so bleh...

Meh. As a single person, I can empathise with Bridget Jones. And as someone who enjoys comedies, there was a lot in this movie for me to like. Unfortunately, the comedic moments were too few and far between, and coupled with Zellweger's awful British accent, I couldn't in good faith say I liked this movie. I don't care how many "actual British people" said it was "bang on," to me it was just dreadful. Although, as many people have said on here, the Firth/Grant fight scene was lots of fun.
