The script is marvelous, Renée is terrific!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2001)

This is a very refreshing movie. The script is marvelous. It is extremely well written and each line is throughly tough and extremely funny. I usually prefer to see movies when they come out on video because there is no one talking behind me or some really tall boy who comes to sit in front of me, but I love Renée Zellweger (One True Thing, Jerry Maguire, A Price Above Rubies), who is not just a beautiful person on the outside, she is beautiful on the inside as well. She is also a very good actress. Renée has done some heavy duty acting with actors of the caliber of Meryl Streep, William Hurt, Jim Cary, Tom Cruise, just to name a few. She is wonderful in the part of Brigitt Jones. She is Brigitt Jones!!!!!!!!!! I hope she gets a nomination for this. They tricked me because I thought she was going to stay with "Daniel Cleaver," played by Hugh Grant (Notting Hill), but she does not. I am hoping they do a sequel, because I was reading that "Bridget Jones : The Edge of Reason," is even funnier than "Bridget Jones's Diary." I think this movie is one of the best movies I have seen lately. It is funny without being canned. I think that Colin Firth (Shakespeare in Love) , Hugh Grant, all did a great job, specially Renée Zellweger's accent. There is a possibility that she learned British English at home because both of her parents were born in Europe, and Europeans tend to have a British accent not and American accent in English. She also spent sometime in England studying the part. Favorites Scenes: Opening Scenes when Bridget is singing along with a record. The fire station scene. Sending e-mail to Daniel Cleaver without showing any facial expression. Picking up which undies to wear. The whole movie is hilarious. Favorite Line so far: " everyone knows that dating in the thirties is not the happy lucky free-for-all it was when you were twenty-two..." I like Brigit's self-deprecating sense of humor.
