Ingenius - By: R. King, 31 May 2008 
I mean full credit to the writer of 'bridget jones's diary' for creating such a fantastic insight into the mind of many females today but i think much credit into the success of this film should go to the actors cast, as they do amazingly well in portraying their characters.
A must see for men & women & definately will be a classic.
Pure fun - By: Paula, 10 Jan 2005 
Love, love, love Mr. Darcy. Would shag & toss Daniel Cleaver in a New York minute! Renee pulls off the insecure & entirely lovable Bridget very well; can't help wanting to shake her a little for not liking herself as much as Darcy likes her 'just as she is.' On the whole, a sweet, fun reminder that who knows, dreams may come true. The Mums, Dads, Aunts, & Uncles are hilarious, quirky beings, a cast of characters one would be loath to encounter as an outsider; but once you're in, true friends for life. This is a movie that reminds a girl that any man willing to make an utter fool of himself over her, is definitely a keeper. Mrs Jones notwithstanding (big smile).
I love this film!!! - By: , 27 Nov 2004 Definitley one 2 see! It makes you laugh so much & is very enjoyable to watch. It kind of puts your own life in perspective!!!! Very girly film although i know lots of men who went to see it & said they thought it was funny. The film makes you feel good about yourself. Many have now seen the 2nd one at the cinemas but in my opinion i think this one is better!!!!!!!! Buy it, it is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
I love it... - By: Barada Louise, 21 Nov 2004 I love this adaptation. It is a very enjoyable comedy with great actors: Colin Firth (Mark Darcy) is my favourite. He does so well this modernized version of his role of Fitzwilliam Darcy in the BBC's Pride & Prejudice (If you have not seen it, do it. You will not be disappointed). And Hugh Grant is great as Daniel Cleaver, the cad, a role so unlike his preceeding of good guys. The great surprise comes from Renée Zelwegger. I am not a great fan of hers but she reallly pulls through Bridget's charm.
There's a lot of scenes which are very funny (The whole dinner scene, the fight scene, Bridget resigning).
A perfect film for a nice evening between girls.

disillusioned after all the hype - By: , 14 Nov 2004 
Being a female, this side of a significant birthday & single, I put off seeing this film for a long time thinking that it would hit a few raw nerves since I have personallly experienced the HIGHS, the FUN, the girlie moments & the lows of single life. Having seen the film - I cannot believe what alll of the hype is about. A good comedy is full of surprises & I was expecting this film to make me laugh & cry. Instead the film was flat - for me there was no feeling/emotions attached to this film -alll attempts to pass off jokes seemed forced & banal.
All the smoking made me want to cough up. Did the film reallly need that? The messages which came accross if any were negative.
How can anyone claim that Bridget Jones is overweight - when she stepped on the scale she was still under 10 stone, therefore I guess she was within normal range for her height.
I certainly won't be watching the sequel.
The best Hugh Grant film in my opinion & reflects the reality of single life, both funny & sad, is "About a Boy". Highly recommended.
