Well worth seeing!

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2001)

This was a brilliant movie. Renee doing Bridget Jones was extremely well done. To see a typical normal woman doing goofy things and being a normal healthy size female (goes to show you can look sexy without having to be the shape of a stick) made it a truly enjoyable movie. Renee should be very proud of her performance.
Hugh shedding his image of 'Mr Perfect' was a nice change, though I love his movies and these roles. He does the character of Daniel Cleaver being a cad very well and I'm sure there are many males out there that can relate to Daniel's dilemmas with relationships.
Colin, what can I say, he was exceptional. His performance was flawless and was a great shame he didn't get more screen time, I look forward to seeing more of Colin's work in the future. His character of Mark Darcy is heart warming without being mushy or going too far and being labelled with a 'Mr Perfect' tag after Mark makes some insensitive comments. The highlight of the movie, however, was the "just the way you are" scene between Bridget and Mark. It was moving.
Colin, Renee and Hugh each deserve top awards for their excellent performances and Helen for her excellent writing. 9 out of 10 (It would have been a 10 if it had more Mark Darcy screen time!)
