Ha ha! How we laughed!

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2001)

I went to see this some time after reading the book with a male friend of mine. I had tried not to read too much or listen to too many people about it as even if they say I won't be disappointed, I am usually disappointed, but I wasn't! It was fab, from the swagger of Daniel Cleaver to Bridget's bum, I laughed.
It's quite clever that they got Colin Firth to play Mark Darcy as the plot, as Helen Fielding has admitted, is based on Austen's Pride and Prejudice, she even 'borrowed' one of the character's names! Pride and Prejudice was televised several years ago here in the UK, and the guy they got to play Mr Darcy was, you guessed it, Colin Firth. Anyway, loved it, gonna have to buy it as my 'watch it when I'm feeling down' film.
A few other male friends of mine have said it's too much of a chickflick for them to see it, but i think it's as much a fellaflick as anything else. would definitely go see it again, and such comfy seats...
