I am a fan of the romantic comedy genre when made well which I'm thankful to say this one is. Many fall short with predictable plotlines and jokes but this, although predictable in places, has enough moments that are genuinely funny to keep it interesting. The story is fairly simple: Bridget (Renee Zellweger) is a lonely 32 year old ...  Read the complete review

Bridget Jones's Diary, based on the novel of the same name written by Helen Fielding, is one such film, and it also escaped the controversy ...  Read the complete review

I remember it was the first film I went to see alone with my mum when I was 17, and this is probably one of the reasons why it sticks in my mind. Bridget Jones' Diary is basically a film about love, work, and friends. It revolves around the central character called, yes you ...  Read the complete review

I personally think that Bridget Jones' Diary is easily among the chick flicks ever. There have been quite a lot of mixed reviews on this film, but if you ask me, the cinematographic industry was in dire need of such a refreshing and completely refreshing performance as the one that Renée Zellweger delivers in this movie. The movie is based on a ...  Read the complete review

Film review only First a book and then a smash hit film, Bridget Jones Diary is a brilliantly amusing comedy romance with some great characters.

In this film adaptation of the book of the newspaper column, Renee Zellweger stars as Bridget Jones, a thirty something, chain-smoking single woman who works in publishing and borders on alcoholism. Contrary to many fears over here as the film's release approached in 2001, her British accent is almost perfect, although it doesn't vary too much and ...  Read the complete review

Bridget Jones' diary is a classic chick flick that never fails in the feel good factor. Renee shines as the neurotic romance obsessed and accident prone modern day english heroine and Firth plays the stiff upper lipped 'typical' English gent to perfection. The straight to classic, in my opinion, scene in this film is the fight scene. Even if you ...  Read the complete review
