Not for the men of the family

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2001)

Girl (who is supposed to be unappealing to men, but is not) gets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy, loses boy, finally gets boy - sheesh! (Well, it is a comedy but it just didn't work for me.)
All the male characters are either obnoxious prats, gay, or spineless jellyfish. The film is rife with contrived and improbable scenes. Such as Bridget having dinner with her married friends, and the entire conversation centers around asking Bridget how her love life is, or pointing out that her biological clock is ticking, etc. The epilogue (which was deleted from the final cut of the film) is probably the funniest scene containing a self parody by Hugh Grant. (DVD version.)
It's said that Renee` gained 25Lbs for the role. Interesting, it made her look normal. Rates 9 out of 10 on the "Chick Flick" scale.
