THIS IS AN INTERSTING DAIRY

I absolutely loved this movie. The entire cast played convincing and realistic characters, especially the character of Bridget herself. There was much use of the f-word, but it is important to remember that in parts of England, the word is not considered nearly as offensive. If you are not easily offended and can look over the language and the occasional sex talk, which wasn’t as terrible as many movies, you find yourself entertained beyond belief. I have been laughing for days after seeing it the second time and completely intend to see it again. Colin Firth is one of the best actors I’ve seen in a while, and watching him the second time convinced me only more that he is brilliant. It was also very entertaining to see a realistic fight in a movie for once. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is not easily offended and who enjoys a good laugh.

Renee Zellweger stars as Bridget Jones,is a single 30. Her love life is non-existent, while her consumption of alcohol and her addiction to cigarettes is close to lethal. At the end of her proverbial rope, she attempts to take charge of her life by keeping a diary. In addition to info on the latest "singleton" her mother has tried to set her up with, Mark Darcy notations in her diary include the exact number of cigarettes she's smoked that day and updates on her ever-fluctuating weight.

There are two men in Bridget's life. One of them is a gentleman and a cad. The former insults Bridget at a party and wears an unforgivable sweater. Bridget begins dating her boss, Daniel Cleaver (played by Hugh Grant). On the surface, the two actually seem to have a wonderful relationship, but you just know that they're not going to have a fairy tale ending. Mark Darcy pops in and out of the picture as Bridget and Daniel's relationship develops and then falls apart.

Filmgoers should have fun equating Bridget's relationship trials and tribulations with their own experiences, or that of their friends. There's a little bit of Bridget in almost everyone. Moviegoers who love to laugh out loud without fear of embarrassment will find like-minded audiences attending "Bridget Jones's Diary." "Bridget Jones's Diary" is an intelligent, and humorous dialogue delivered by an outstanding cast. Even "serious" moviegoers can relax and enjoy this delightful film.

I loved this film and immediately wanted to rush out and buy the soundtrack. The songs selected for the soundtrack fit the film perfectly and became a major contributor to the film's overall ambience. Every emotion Bridget goes through is verbalized through the teaming of the scenes with the songs. The competition for Bridget between Firth and Grant may be the stuff of fantasy but Bridget's unerring ability to choose the wrong man is the reality check with which every woman in the audience can identify. And that's what makes this film something you'll want to add to your home video collection next to Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Zellweger's accent is pretty much flawless and the script is extremely funny. The wonderful Jim Broadbent gives a subtle, unsentimental and strangely moving performance as Bridget's dad while Gemma Jones is suitably as her mother. From the first moment, I began laughing around the first frame and didn't really stop. I loved it. some of the sentences of Bridget I caught are: "She's used to run around your lawn... with no clothes on, remember?"

"Perpetua-- slightly senior... and therefore thinks she's in charge of me. Most of the time..."

"lintendto."

"Oh, well,here we go. Trying hard to fight off a vision...of Mum and Auntie Una in fishnet tights"

"Did you fancy Kafir the first time that you saw him?"

"Oh,joy. I am broadcasting genius. Celebrating by cooking birthday feast for close friends. Have sneaking suspicion..."
