A fun and touching movie

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2001)

I very much enjoyed this film and the message. Ms. Zellweger had a very convincing British accent and I saw her do some very impressive acting. I instantly fell in love with Bridget Jones - from the moment she was lip syncing in her apartment. I was rooting for her... And I thought she looked very attractive - in spite of the "extra pounds."
Much has been made of Ms. Zellweger's weight gain for this role. All I can say is: she should have kept it on... I thought she looked very good and natural. And I was very disappointed to hear her comments on the talk show circuit following the premiere of Bridget Jones -- that she felt disgusting with the extra weight and couldn't wait to take it off...
I think she should take a second look and decide who she would like to be... a little, skinny girl or a beautiful, talent woman...
