We watch it over and over

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2002)

This movie is a gem, heartbreakingly, hysterically funny. Bridget Jones (as so wonderfully played by Renee Zellweger, who should have won the Oscar, but that's another story...)is, as her boss at "Sit Up Britain" says, "Already a legend." What a woman! Determined, honest, not afraid to be looking for her soulmate. I'm not so sure that her soulmate is Mark Darcy (hunky Colin Firth) but at least he is smart enough and wise enough to see the inner goodness, warmth, and sexiness of our heroine. I hope he really does love her "just the way she is", because that is what she deserves. Hugh Grant, as Bridget's irresistible, sexy, smarmy boss, is a pleasure; Bridget's friends are just too funny; and her dad (Jim Broadbent) is touching and sweet. A favorite of mine and my daughter's.
