Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2002)

I recently brought the video wondering whether I was going to like it seeing as I don't usually like "Rom-coms" however I laughed all the way through. Renee is great as Bridget the ultimate singleton, she plays Bridget in a very likeable and realistic way. The other performances are good but you can't help but feel that some need more experience playing different sorts of characters as apposed to just the one all the time. Although it is obvious that it is loosely based on P+P the story is changed so that it is modern and you can identify more fully with the heroine who is more open than Lizzy in P+P. The film is very loosely based on the novel but instances re: tarts and vicars etc remain as well as new laughs. Okay so yes I am a girl as many will wonder before writing this off as a "chick-flick" but you don't need to be a girl to enjoy this, just your sense of humour.
