Funny, original movie with great acting

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2001)

There are many things that make this a great movie, but probably the biggest of them all is the acting. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant appear to be perfect for their respective roles, and they do a great job. But Renée Zellweger shines and gives one of the two best female performances of the year (along with Julianne Moore of HANNIBAL (9/10)). This movie is especially great because it gives us a female lead that isn't a gorgeous supermodel and has her share of flaws, but we still love her. Renée Zellweger played the role perfectly.
This is also one of the more original films this year. It also is not too predictable. At times it is predictable, but until later in the movie, I honestly did not know which of the two men she would choose from. The movie is also very funny, as I laughed out loud more than one time during this movie. (Which is more than I can say about the "comedy" ZOOLANDER (3/10))
Highly recommended. And if Renée Zellweger isn't at least nominated for the Best Actress Oscar, I will be sincerely surprised.
8/10
