Another good example of British humor

Rating: 7/10 (13 April 2008)

"Bridget Jones's Diary" is another okay romantic comedy with British humor. It is neither a great movie neither a bad movie. Just acceptable and watchable, but without bad surprises.
This movie is in the same line as other British romantic comedies such as "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill", which wouldn't be surprising (considering they are all from the same producers and they all star Hugh Grant). I personally consider this neither better neither worst than those two movies that I mentioned.
Nevertheless, it's a reasonably entertaining movie with its fun. Its most positive points are: a good soundtrack ("All By Myself", "Respect", "Out of Reach" and "It's Raining Men"), some beautiful landscapes of England, the British humor (despite some offensive lines), the blue soup made by Bridget Jones (I wonder how that soup tastes like) and a hilarious fight between the characters Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver.
I also like the way how Renée Zellweger portrays Bridget Jones. Not that she is really great, but she's funny in the way she portrays this silly character. Hugh Grant is cool with this performance as the charming "playboy" Daniel Cleaver. But this isn't exactly a movie that I would want to add in my film collection.
Overall, a funny movie and a full plate for any fan of the peculiar British sense of humor. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys British comedies. As long as it is not taken too seriously, this movie can be easy to enjoy.
