All present and correct.

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2001)

Thanks to some intuitive casting, fine writing, pacey direction and skilful editing the feelgood factor on leaving the cinema after Bridget Jones' Diary kicked in at about 10 out of 10! Yes, I'd been a fan of the original column series in the Independent newspaper but if I had any pre-conceptions of how Bridget would look or sound it mattered little as Renee Zellweger fitted the bill exactly. With that simultaneous air of vulnerability and confusion over her destiny , Bridget stumbles from crisis to climax ( sorry ) , supported by cadish Hugh Grant and detached Colin Firth. This film lets you know exactly where its going and transports you there with style.
