Liked It But Could Have Been Better

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2001)

Well, first off let me say that the overall cast was very good, except I really didn't like Jude or Tom. I've read the book and they just didn't seem like the same characters to me. Ok, now for the movie. The movie was ok. There were some parts that really made me laugh. Unfortunately, the book made me laugh a whole lot more. The movie should have had the storyline about Bridget's mother getting arrested for swindling money. That was a very good part of the book and with the storyline we get to see why Bridget falls in love with Mark Darcy. The movie kind of left me wondering why she would fall in love with him in the first place. That storyline is one thing that IMHO should have been included in the film. Also, I would have liked to have seen more interaction with her friends. Her friends were a very big part of the book. I think that is why I didn't like Jude and Tom. Anyway, the movie is entertaining but could have been better.
