459 already, why not one more to make it 460, right?

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2003)

Oh, it's a "Cinderella of 21st Century" movie. I have to make it clear, it's the movie which carries the smell of Cinderella but not the book. The book is more realistic. B once said to M in the book, "what would we talk about?" Right, when M may talk about the Parliament, the legal circle gossips, what things about B that he's really interested in? I just find it hard to imagine Bridget is able to communicate with Mark and vice versa. If they come together, divorce is not unlikely. The UK, a class-conscious country. Daniel Cleaver, somehow, fits Bridget more, as long as he really cut down his number of affairs with other women. Let's see how they deal with the sequel. Besides, Cinderella's enemies this time, are not the stepmother and the two step-sisters but her weight and life-style.
We all need this movie, I mean unmarried women approaching mid to late thirties. Reality in workplace is cruel enough to suffocate us, why not some sweet delights to add some colours to the greyness of real life? No one would hate this movie even though arguments about unrealistic treatments may arise.
For those who want the "real life" in the movie, these are the real faces:

Natasha of course would be Mark's wife for they are both blunt and wood-block-like with tongue full of acid. After having been betrayed by a Japanese wife, how could Mark dare date Asian but Caucasian?

Daniel would cajole B into staying with him again for some more time and gullible and kind B would fall into trap again. But she will wake up quicker this time.

Bridget's mom for sure will have another or some others affairs/extra marital adventures.

Some smug married couples would divorce and the women would demurely keep their "Mrs"

Not hard to predict, right? That's reality. So let's open our arms wide to the fairytales.
