top notch rom-com, but not quite as good as the book

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2001)

Bridget Jones' Diary is a magic book, and a darn good film.

Renee Zellweger is a VERY good Bridget, and manages (only just, mind) not to have the show stolen from her by Hugh Grant who is positively hilarious as the "cad" who sleeps with Bridget.
all the cast and crew have done a great job, but the most credit must go to the writing team who have adapted the book which must, at first, have posed some difficulty since it is in the form of a diary (funny, that).
However, i have to mention the best fight scene in cinema's history - look out for it - you will not be disappointed. absolutely hilarious.
grab your girl/boy-friend, see this movie, and you'll have a great 90mins.
