Lovely flick about a sick skirt... among other things.

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2001)

Though in plot somewhat different from the book in spirit it captured the written text supremely well. The characters, the humor, the comedy of the situations that charmed us all in the book are all present. And, although I must admit after being dragged to it for the third time I was a wee bit sick of it, still, it brought much enjoyment and pleasure. What a nice change Bridget is from the ever present popsy pretty Barbie dolls that America always has to stick into their romantic comedies. How wonderful to hear for once some snappy conversations rather then the ever flat usual burble. And finally, how nice to see real characters and people rather then washed out dolls ( I know I mentioned that before. but it's worth mentioning again). All in all, a true romantic comedy worth watching, and in very close spirit to the book.
