Bridget Jones’s Diary

Starring: Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent, James Callis.
Directed by Sharon Maguire.
Distributor: Miramax Films

Grab all of your girlfriends together on a Saturday afternoon and head out to see this movie. I am a big fan of this book, and really doubted whether Renee Zellweger could pull off the role of Bridget. After seeing the film, my apologies to Ms. Zellweger. She was perfect for the role. Charming and so very real.

Bridget is 32, single, slightly neurotic and starting off a new year with a diary and  the goal of staying a “singleton” no longer. She’s not the best public speaker, has the habit of embarrassing herself widely in public, and is one of the most “real” characters I have seen in film in a long time. If you are female and can’t relate to her on some level - you haven’t been living, or you’ve been married since your sophomore year in high school.

The music is great. The cast delightful. The story witty and touching. I can’t wait until they make the sequel. :)
