Synopsis
In the screen adaptation of BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY, Helen Fielding's international best-selling phenomenon, documentary filmmaker (and real-life inspiration for the character Shazzer) Sharon Maguire has managed a rare feat - a film as captivating as the novel. Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a pretty and neurotic thirtysomething singleton (in her vernacular) who vows to take control of her life after being humiliated by handsome, standoffish barrister, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) at her parents' New Year's party. Determined to lose weight and cut back on vices like wine, cigarettes, and workaholic-alcoholic-misogynistic men, Bridget begins a diary to chart her progress. Unfortunately, the P.R. executive hits a snag when her boss, gorgeous cad Daniel (Hugh Grant) instigates a sexy e-mail flirtation. Despite her tendency to bungle book launch parties, and any situation involving the ever-present, ever-disapproving Mark Darcy, Bridget's winning combination of charm, vulnerability, and wit intrigues not only the seductively dangerous Daniel, but also the arrogant barrister. Featuring a note-perfect performance by Zellweger, a devilishly against-type one by Grant, and the inspired casting of Firth (the object of Bridget's lusty fantasies in the book); DIARY is a clever, delightful romantic comedy guaranteed to please old fans and win new ones.
Bridget Jones's Diary Review
A publishing sensation of the late 90s, "Bridget Jones’s Diary" tells of a year in the life of thirty-something Bridget, a successful professional who is obsessed with her weight, her nicotine and alcohol intake, and her lack of a boyfriend. Now I have a confession to make: I’ve read the book, loved it, and went to this movie expecting the big screen version not to live up to my high hopes. Ultimately it didn’t, but have you ever enjoyed the film version of one of your favourite books as much as the original book itself?
As a standalone movie "Bridget Jones’s Diary" is another quirky romantic comedy from the writer of "Four Weddings And A Funeral" and "Notting Hill," and features an American leading lady – Texan Renee Zellweger – with the most convincing English accent since Gwyneth Paltrow in "Sliding Doors." Although the restrictions of condensing a novel into a screenplay mean that many of the supporting characters are no way near as well developed, the three leads (Zellweger as Bridget, Hugh Grant as her slimy boss, and Colin Firth as a possible Mr Right) all give good performances, with Zellweger in particular bringing a touching combination of self consciousness and self confidence to the role – and she plays a great drunk!
