Great Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (9 July 2001)

Having read the book and enjoyed it tremendously, I was utterly disappointed with the film version (usually the case). Renee is awful as Bridget and her attempt at an English accent is atrocious! The actors that played Bridget's friends were unimpressive. Not their fault since they weren't given the opportunity. In the book her friends were over-the-top and such fun people to hang out with. The only saving grace is Colin Firth who plays Mark Darcy. He is everything the book described him to be! He gave an excellent performance! Fans of the book would be greatly disappointed but watch it simply for Colin Firth. You'll be amazed how he fits the description to a perfect T!
