Is it supposed to be hilarious?

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2002)

Well I saw this movie the day before yesterday and really felt disappointed because of its plot, it's dull. It seems to me that the creator of Bridget Jones's diary makes fun of viewers by showing them a simple and uninteresting love story between an approximately 32 years old woman and her boss. He tells her that her other suitor was a deceitful person since he slept with his old girlfriend, but it was too predictable that the boss was lying to her, I didn't have to think hard to realize that. I don't think this part was a twist at all. Is that kind of plot supposed to be funny? Perhaps many of the reviewers who liked it found Bridget's personality funny, but it was annoying to me. All she does is talk about her lovers and be embarrassed all the time, which I didn't find that amusing, maybe I smiled a few times, but that was it. I thought this movie would be great since I read good reviews and some critics gave it 5stars/5stars, but I felt disappointed after it ended. It has unnecessary bad language, which I also found annoying. I don't understand why Renne Zelleweger received an Oscar nomination for her performance. Nicole Kidman gave a better and more complex performance in "The Others", that's for sure!
I thought Renne would shine on screen, but she gave a performance as bad as the one she gave in "Jerry Maguire", She shouldn't have been so shameless, since she was making jokes throughout the whole movie, we didn't see her doing something worthy, besides we barely saw her writing something in her diary, this movie should have shown her writing in her diary more often, but it only appeared at the beginning and the end.
All in all this movie wasn't that hilarious, it was bothersome, but I enjoyed the beautiful England landscapes, since they're gorgeous and I also learned that the cars in England are different from others, because they have the pilot seat on the right side, which I didn't know at all. 5/10
