saved by the cast

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2001)

Yet another cutesy collection of cliches punctuated by a soundtrack laden with hit songs and golden oldies. I guess they figure we're all a bunch of open-mouthed knuckle-draggers who wouldn't know how to react to a scene without an appropriate musical selection blaring away.
Anyway, I did find that such annoyances were negated by the delightful performance of Renee Zellweger (it doesn't hurt that she's as cute as the proverbial button!) Hugh Grant was also perfect in his role. I have always liked Colin Firth, but here I thought he was just a little too dour at times. Especially during the "I like you just as you are" scene.

One other thing I found puzzling were the references to Bridget's weight. She was fat? Sure didn't look that way to me.
