WARNING! CHICK FLICK ALERT!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2001)

Yes yes. It's a chick flick. Thats not to say that guys shouldn't watch it or won't like it. They may. I know some that do. But will the understand it? NO! Those females who are flawlessly beautiful, are stick thin and have fabulous boyfriends and jobs will also not understand it. So do the rest of us like it? The answer is (and should be) and resounding YES! As the tagline says "For anyone who's ever been set up, stood up or felt up."
Renee Zellweger plays Bridget Jones, a 30-something "singleton" who, along with her "urban family" (Jude, who calls Bridget daily with complains about f***wit boyfriend, Shazza, a journalist who likes to say f*** alot, and Tom, total poof and 90's rock icon who only recorded one hit record because he found out that one hit record was enough to get him laid for the entire decade) tackle the problems faced by young people and dealing with problems of love, life and parents! Although much outcry was heard when a Texan native would play British chick Brdiget, I believe Renee does this quite well. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth play Bridgets love interests, one who just likes to shag and the other who has some serious problems about exposing feelings (watch the movie and you'll figure out who's who).

A great adaptation of a fantastic book("Bridget Jones's Diary", not "Pride and Prejudice" hee hee hee) and a cool cast make this an ideal girls nite in movie. Don't worry if you haven't got a date for Saturday nite, cause, more than likely, neither does Bridget!!!
