Get a bottle of wine and some chocolate in.....

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2002)

Get a bottle of wine and some chocolate in.....have the girls over and sing along to the cool soundtrack! Bravo casting in the shape of the delectable Colin Firth and even Hugh Grant acts wonderfully against type as dastardly Cleaver. Better than the book, singletons everywhere can relate to Bridget's struggle to find a genuine guy. Surprisingly well played by Renee Zellwegger who comes off as a less annoyingly neurotic Bridget than in the book. Excellent performances by co-stars - particularly Jim Broadbent as Bridget's Dad and a great sub-plot involving Bridget's Mum and a perma-tanned shopping channel guru called Julian. Great cameos from some great British comedy actors add to make this the perfect video for a great night in! Worth the rental if only to watch the opening "All By Myself" scene and the explosive Darcy/Cleaver confrontation.
