Being Self Depricating Can Be Sexy

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2005)

It is my sense that 8 out of 10 single women can identify with Bridget. After seeing this great flick, I can appreciate Bridget's inane desire to lose weight and over fantasize what perfection should be. This film showcases the reality of true beauty. Casting in this film was perfect. As an avid lover of Jane Austen, Mr. Firth as both Darcy & Darcy made the role his own. His humility of looks and demeanor, made his character, dare I say, more sexy, than that of suave, and handsome but slicky-boy, Mr. Grant's. I definitely know who I rather have. Also I enjoyed seeing other fine British actors in this film (so under-utilized in our own American film culture.) Still U.S. born & bred Ms. Zellweger is very convincing as a English girl on the brink. As "Sex in the City" is a dish of the inner most thoughts that reflect what seems to me more comic fantasy, "Bridget Jones" is a lush serving of the inner most thoughts that reflect a more humorous sense of reality that most of us (singles) can relate to". For that I wish this was a series to be viewed each week. Still enjoy reading the "diaries".
