Bridget Owes Benny!

Rating: 2/10 (17 November 2006)

'Bridget Jones' struck a chord with millions of single women all over the world. She's kooky, blonde, has a weight problem, a man problem, and is British. If she were the creation of a man, she'd have been banned by now.
I loved the moment in this film when Bridget slides down a fireman's pole and we see her big knickers close up. But then I laughed at the same gag when it was done on 'The Benny Hill Show' on 23/12/70.
This is supposed to be feminist comedy, yet when its only memorable gag comes from an old television show derided and pilloried for its so-called 'sexism', you know something is wrong somewhere.
Benny Hill, rest in peace.
Your legacy is intact. Renee Zellweger is your natural heir.
