A clever, witty script. Generally a well observed comedy.

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2003)

I was very dubious about watching this movie, being a man, however within the first five minutes I was laughing heartily and knew, without a doubt, that this movie was going to be a good one. I wasn't wrong. Even for the men, this movie contains much to identify with, even with the Bridget Jones character. The whole cast is fantastic, with Hugh Grant showing that he can actually pull off a really good role. Renee Zellweger is superb in the lead, and you just can't help liking her and her embarrassing habit of putting her foot in it. There are some clever and witty one-liners and some wonderfully put together scenes, with some well-observed comedy. I whole-heartedly recommend this film, despite the over sentimental ending, it does the job and gives you that nice warm feeling at the end of it.
