Easy. Let's just print another one.

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2001)

I was a bit late picking this one up. Still, it seemed worth viewing late, rather than not at all. Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth star in this not overly complicated love triangle story. Bridget is infatuated by her boss, who becomes more interested in her the more weight she loses and the more unattainable she becomes. Firth, in the role of Darcy (no, not his role in P&P) is the third person in the triangle. Some of the lines are genuinly funny. Zellweger's character as famed by the book that preceded the film is excellent, as are her co-stars efforts. The supporting cast is at best one-dimensional which is unfortunate. This is down, I feel, to the constricts of time, rather than of ability. Nicely paced and an uncomplicated story are always a boost for a mass audience appeal, which this has in spades. Think Four Weddings & A Funeral' meets Notting Hill' and you are in the right area. Not a classic by any stretch but follows a successful and pre-determined route to box-office millions. (7/10)
