DVD Reviews of Bridget Jones's Diary (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic romantic comedy British style. Rene Zellweger does the English accent well. For all romance fans.DVD Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Distinctly overrated, Bridget Jones's Diary is nowhere near as fun, charming, or witty as I had been led to believe; little more than yet another formulaic romance, this is not a movie to seek out.
DVD Review: Bridget is irresistible
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought that this was what we call "another chick flick", surprisingly enough i really enjoyed it. Bridget is an adorable character who is hard to resist. I was very pleased with the great cast and story (though predictable). Somehow Jones found a way to humor my heart. :D
(Bonus features are great too on this DVD)
DVD Review: "...Instead, I choose Vodka and Chaka Khan"
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the novel by Helen Fielding, the movie tells a story of a single woman in her thirties, who constantly worries about her weight, is bugged by being single, has crazy friends, and is struggling to stop drinking and smoking.
Even though Bridget is a smart, beautiful woman, she compulsively says what is on her mind and is constantly embarrassed in public; worst of all, she falls for the wrong guys. Renee Zellweger shines in the role of Bridget and adds considerable talent to the cast of the film. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant were great for the roles of Marc Darcy and Daniel Cleaver.
A lovely, smart comedy and the sound track is a fabulous collection of music. Furthermore; you will discover that there is a crazy Bridget inside every one of us, she just happened to find her happy ending.....
DVD Review: Very funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars
We loved the movie, my wife and I, and have watched it many times since buying it. Funny and sad at times but a great movie to watch together. Very glad we bought it!
Description of Bridget Jones's Diary (Collector's Edition)
Academy Award(R) winner Ren?e Zellweger (Best Supporting Actress, COLD MOUNTAIN, 2003; CHICAGO) and Hugh Grant (LOVE ACTUALLY, TWO WEEKS NOTICE) star in a delightful comedy about the ups and downs of modern romance. Bridget (Zellweger), a busy career woman, decides to turn over a new page in her life by channeling her thoughts, opinions and insecurities into a journal that becomes a hilarious chronicle of her adventures. Soon she becomes the center of attention between a guy who's too good to be true (Grant) and another who's so wrong for her, he could be just right (Colin Firth -- LOVE ACTUALLY)! Based on the best-selling book, BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY is another acclaimed crowd-pleaser from the hit makers of FOUR WEDDING AND A FUNERAL and NOTTING HILL.Featuring a blowzy, winningly inept size-12 heroine, Bridget Jones's Diary is a fetching adaptation of Helen Fielding's runaway bestseller, grittier than Ally McBeal but sweeter than Sex and the City. The normally sylphlike Ren?e Zellweger (Nurse Betty, Me, Myself and Irene) wolfed pasta to gain poundage to play "singleton" Bridget, a London-based publicist who divides her free time between binge eating in front of the TV, downing Chardonnay with her friends, and updating the diary in which she records her negligible weight fluctuations and romantic misadventures of the year. Things start off badly at Christmas when her mother tries to set her up with seemingly standoffish lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), whom Bridget accidentally overhears dissing her. Instead she embarks on a disastrous liaison with her raffish boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant, infinitely more likeable when he's playing a baddie instead of his patented tongue-tied fops). Eventually, Bridget comes to wonder if she's let her pride prejudice her against the surprisingly attractive Mr. Darcy.
If the plot sounds familiar, that's because Fielding's novel was itself a retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, whose romantic male lead is also named Mr. Darcy. An extra ironic poke in the ribs is added by the casting of Firth, who played Austen's haughty hero in the acclaimed BBC adaptation of Austen's novel. First-time director Sharon Maguire directs with confident comic zest, while Zellweger twinkles charmingly, fearlessly baring her cellulite and pulling off a spot-on English accent. Like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill (both of which were written by this film's coscreenwriter, Richard Curtis), Bridget Jones's stock-in-trade is a very English self-deprecating sense of humor, a mild suspicion of Americans (especially if they're thin and successful), and a subtly expressed analysis of thirtysomething fears about growing up and becoming a "smug married." The whole is, as Bridget would say, v. good. --Leslie Felperin
