I don't get it...

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2009)

I found it difficult to imagine this movie to be a real life situation that I felt like writing this short review. I reckon it was meant to target the dull spinster audience in order to cheer them up and inflict the idea that there is a chance for them all. Well, this is not something bad as long as one could imagine something like that happen in real life. But to go so far as to believe that two handsome and accomplished young men could fall for this Bridget is highly improbable. I'll just be blunt: Bridget is silly, dull, ugly and a bit too old for the part. But don't get me wrong; this is not exactly that which disturbs me most but the fact that she doesn't do anything to enhance her personality and physical aspect.
I strongly believe that the axiom inflicted by this movie- take me or leave me; I am the way I am and I won't change- is not a healthy guiding line in anyone's life. Everybody has to work in order to get something or to reach somewhere and strive not to comply with dullness, stupidity, fatness, narrow mindedness or whatever else one has been at a certain point in life just because there might be people who "will definitely like me the way I am".
It kind of reminded me of "She done him wrong" and Mae West who appeared in such a great contrast with the young, absolutely charming Cary Grant...
I've waited the till the end for certain changes in Bridget's behavior or aspect but since this is not the idea the film wanted to convey I'll just sit on the back sit and let you others marvel at this movie because for me it was quite disappointing.
