Bridget Jones' Diary

Pros: Story. Most of the acting. Hugh Grant. Mood/Tone, at least, is done right.
Cons: Directing. Telling of the story.

The best thing I can say about this movie is that it leads me to believe that the book is most likely quite a good read.

Unfortunately, all through the movie all I could think was that I should be liking it. The story was there. Of course,...

Pros: A hilarious furrow through the fertile field of Bridget's romantic adventures.
Cons: This is not brain food - it is simply light and easily digested.

I do not claim to be female. I do not claim to be 30-something. I do not claim to be a “singleton”. I do not claim to be English. I do not claim to be a florist. I do claim to being smitten by Bridget Jones’s Diary.

...

Pros: One of the best chick flicks in years with wonderful performances and a witty script.
Cons: Some cheesy songs on the soundtrack, one can't argue that the story is clichéd.

When I first heard the adaptation of Laura Zigman’s novel Animal Husbandry had been renamed for theatrical release Someone Like You, my first thought was that it would’ve used the song Someone by Ascension. The track...

Pros: Wowser! Renee Zellweger Rocks! And Hugh Grant is Hot!
Cons: A Corny Type Of Ending - Will Invalidate Hopes For Oscar Nod

Preamble
Normally, once I read a book, I skip out on the movie version because usually I am highly disappointed. With the lack of great chick-flicks out there, this was a movie (and sneak preview to boot!) that I was not about to miss! ...

Pros: Hugh Grant, Hugh Grant, Hugh Grant
Cons: Renee Zellweger

Up until this weekend I was a Renee Zellweger virgin. I’ve never seen her in any movie and only in one interview on TV. I hope it was better for her than it was for me. Renee Zellwinger the leading actor in the new chick flick Bridget Jones’s Diary,...

Pros: Renee Zellweger is Bridget Jones
Cons: Sod off, you wanker! There aren't any!

Bridget Jones’s Diary is the kind of film that sparks conversation. Unfortunately, in my case, it wasn’t just conversation after the movie, but during, as well.

When I went to the late-night preview, I was surrounded by...

Pros: Acting, Music, Characters, Dialogue
Cons: Where's the diary?

I know you’ve been waiting for it. Here’s my review of the movie I went to see while I was writing my review of Anastasia. Well, I left off writing that review at 11:45pm and went over to the University Center for the midnight showing of the...

Pros: Smart, honest film about being single and female.
Cons: The language will be a bit off putting to some.

My SO and I have differences about movies. At last, I was finally able to take him to a movie that made him laugh as much as I did. This one is humorous, with plenty of induenndo, comedy and a few serious and heartbreaking moments.

Renee...

Pros: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth
Cons: ending had a bit of cheese to go with the whine

Colin Firth made a hugely favorable impression on me as Mr. Darcy in the BBC version of "Pride and Prejudice" a few years back. So when I saw that he was starring in the film version of "Bridget Jones's Diary," I smiled. When I saw that he was playing...

Pros: Good cast, some extremely funny moments, funny throughout
Cons: Too much bad language, doesn't transfer to the small screen as well as I'd hoped

Based on the best-selling book, Bridget Jones’ Diary is the story of a 30-something woman’s mid-life crisis, attempts at a loved life revived, failed, attempts at reviving career attempted, failed, but of course everything goes right for her in ...

Pros: Insight into a womans world of searching
Cons: language, weight issues

I must admit, I’m not really up on my movies. I haven’t watched the films I’ve wanted to for quite some years, but lately I’ve been trying to catch up. Tonight, I took the time to take in a viewing of Bridget Jones’s Diary, which I pleasantly, ...

Pros: Austen parallels, funny and somewhat romantic
Cons: crude, Bridget's not very likable

My first exposure to Bridget Jones' Diary occurred courtesy of the same professor who introduced me to J ane Austen. Curiously, when we watched the clip of that oh-so-British romantic comedy that found a ...

Pros: Another delightful performance from Zellweger; smart and funny movie
Cons: Wait and see; if Zellweger is again ignored by Oscar, that will be a shame

What does Renee Zellweger have to do to get attention from the Oscar committee? When she is hooked up with the right film, such as "Jerry Maguire" and "Nurse Betty," she sells a role with a look and a smile. The first words from her lips prove she's...

Pros: Renee Zellwegger and Hugh Grant.
Cons: An incredibly cliched storyline.

Bridget Jones’ Diary is a pretty funny movie based on Helen Fielding’s novel, and stars Renee Zellweger as our Bridget, who manages to embarrass herself, go through a self-destructive relationship, and drown her sorrows in booze, cigarettes, food, and...

Pros: Lots of funny and new catch phrases
Cons: None at all!

Bridget Jones' Diary is based on a British woman's running column in a newspaper that eventually turned into a best-selling book. I heard that there was all kinds of fuss in England when Renee Zelweger was cast in the title role, because she of course...
