How would Bridget Jones write this in her diary about her life? This film is a cute, comedic unrealistic commentary on women in their thirties like Bridget Jones played beautifully by Texas American Renee Zellwegger. A role that could have been done by any British actress striving for her big break has been done by one of Hollywood's brightest rising stars. Renee can sure play British and she also plays Beatrix Potter. THe casting choice of her to play this very British role might be shocking but she manages to do this role without being Meryl Streep and being more a talent to watch out for. Bridget's parents are played by the underrated Gemma JOnes and Oscar Winner Jim Broadbent. Colin Firth and Hugh Grant play the men who seek to win Bridget's heart. Firth plays Darcy here and in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice television mini-series and Hugh Grant is famous for playing the lovable loser at love. The film was filmed mostly in London and England. Although you can't stand in any airport for JFK in New York City. Any way, the film is a lot of fun to watch and should be shown over the Christmas holiday season.
