Bridget Jones's Diary

love this movie, because it gives us larger gals some hope....Hugh Grant is perfectly smarmy....Renee Zellweger perfectly captures what Bridget is all about, foibles and all..... ... Full Review

Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason Just Okay....Because of this it was highly  successful....Hugh Grant obviously has a blast playing the ultimate cad and Firth is solid as the boring, but great boyfriend..... ... Full Review

It's a good chick flick, with an interesting, well-paced, funny story and authentic, likable characters. The disc also includes 100 original Bridget Jones's Diary newspaper columns . It's not an esoteric female comedy; it's just plain funny. ... Full Review

Though it never really rises above being a typical romantic comedy, the great cast makes Bridget Jones an enjoyable rainy-day diversion.
