Ok, but the book was funnier

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2001)

Ok, so I read the book before I went to the movie. The movie was alright, but I really didn't like the storyline or lack of storyline with Bridge's parents. IMHO the storyline in the book was very funny and explained the attraction between Bridget and Mark. The movie kind of just expected us to believe that she could fall in love with him because of one conversation. The cast was very good though. Although I wish that they could have shown her friends more. Bridget's friends are an essential part of the book and they seem to have been more or less dismissed in the movie. A lot of people thought that Renee Z. couldn't pull off the accent, but I thought that she did a good job. I did enjoy the movie, but I enjoyed the book twice as much.
