Much better than I anticipated.

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2001)

First of all, let's say that I am not the biggest Renee Zellweger fan, but she did a fantastic job in this movie. It's not every actress that would gain roughly 25 pounds for a part. Some of her facial expressions are priceless. I went in with the expectation that this would be more of a chick-flick than anything else, but it was actually a rather hilarious comedy. I mean, I was laughing out loud at some points. My friend and I were quoting lines all the way out of the theater. Bridget is sort of a modern-day everywoman that anyone (women/men) can relate to on some level. Maybe you can relate to her loneliness, her disdain for her job, her astute commentaries on her life. But largely, most people will relate to the comedy and the humor that can be found in life. I really enjoyed this film and will probably tape it when it comes to cable.
