This movie is easy to relate to because most women have a little bit of "Bridget" in them. You will laugh, cry, get mad, laugh, and cry again. I guarantee it!! Bridget is somewhat overweight compared to the standards in England and she has the hardest time finding the "right man". She hooks up with this dog Daniel Cleaver when we all want her with Mark Darcy. I think we all want a "Mark Darcy" in our lives when in fact most of us have a "Daniel Cleaver." If you are a sap when it comes to romantic comedies this movie is for you and with an exceptional cast and you really feel like you are right there with them. 10+ stars on the rating scale. You should also check out part 2, Bridget Jones's Diary Edge of Reason.
I really enjoyed this movie---two minutes into it I had almost decided I wasn't going to like it at all, but another five minutes in and I was hooked. The men in this (even the wicked ones) are delightful to watch and the ending is inspired. If they hadn't felt the need to throw in a totally unnecessary sidenote character who uses the F word incessantly just for the sake of using it (Bridget even says so in a diary entry when introducing the character) it would have been just about a perfect movie. Be sure to watch for a scene that is destined to become a classic---Colin Firth and Hugh Grant going to blows in the street. Even if you don't like "chick flicks" or romances, it's worth watching the entire movie just for that one scene! Overall I give this movie an A. It will put a smile on your face, guaranteed.Read full review
Iin 2001, while this movie was in the theatres it became almost a religion to some of us Singletons. The whole cast is wonderful especially Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. As someone who has dated Daniels and Marks of our time, it very therapeutic. It will make you laugh and just as easily make you cry. Renee should have gotten the Academy Award for this role. While I love the book, I believe the film surpasses it. You will never look at large knickers (the British word for ladies panties) the same again!
The story line is so perfect; however it could do without all the cussing and bad words - wish this was out without the vulgar words. I love Mr. Darcy!

I love this movie. This is a new twist to the thirty-somethings romantic comedy. All the characters have a great onscreen chemistry and it is well cast. Sharp witty humor and physical comedy is great. It is a chick flick guys LOVE. If you can't stand the "F" word you might want to skip this pic. And the sequel is just as good! I bought it because it is a movie I can watch over and over.
