Loved the film right from the very start

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2013)

Bridget Jone's Diary definitely ranks top on the list of romantic comedies I have watched. It is a hilarious adaptation of the "Pride and Prejudice" romance. I can't think of anything I found irksome about the film, just can't find a downside considering the genre it belongs to. This film has introduced me to the charm of Colin Firth and I'm glad about that. Renee Zelwegger did wonders and seemed every bit British. Kudos to Grant too for playing a scoundrel type role, not something he usually essays. Although the movie's basic plot is predictable (this is intentional or else Colin Firth's character wouldn't have been named Darcy) pretty much from the start, the same cannot be said for the film's scene or dialogue. Not surprised that this film has been directed by a woman, Sharon Maguire, because the film captures the nitty-gritty aspects of a woman's life.
