It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I heard many different reviews about this film, so wasn't sure what to expect. But I really enjoyed the film. It includes a lot of comedy and I would recommend this even if you haven't watched the others. It's definitely worth the watch. Definitely a gripping storyline to keep viewers interested and never gets the boring moments as many films do.

Movies are often made with an audience in mind. "Bridget Jones's Diary" was not made for the American male college students of the world. Us American male college students can enjoy movies like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Animal House", which were both made to play with our greatest dreams. Bridget Jones's Diary had middle-aged UK women in mind, and it's hard to imagine one would like this movie if he or she did not fit that exact profile.Bridget Jones's Diary is the story of a single woman who doesn't want to be single anymore. Two suitors fight for her hand.What really killed this movie was the character of Bridget Jones herself. The woman is not functional. In everything she does, Jones is cartoonishly inept. This ineptitude quickly stops being cute and becomes totally insufferable for the viewer. All of the movie's humor comes from Jones finding a way to embarrass herself. Sometimes she gives an awkward speech at a public event, sometimes she accidentally offends her friends and coworkers, et cetera. This constant use of cringe humor is lazy and unfunny.Why are there two men fighting over this woman? Both men are handsome and very successful in their work. These might even be considered "dream guys." Firth's character is handsome, rich, and a pseudo-famous lawyer. What does he see in Jones, a woman who constantly offends him and makes a fool of herself? Who knows. The movie sure as hell didn't give a good reason for it.I came into this movie expecting a lighthearted laugh, but I got a stream of annoying humor and nonsense. My own biases prevented me from liking the movie to some extent, but I would recommend any viewer to skip this one.

Did you know that Renee Zellweger ate donuts just to become Bridget Jones. Love hurts but you just have to find the right person. Always remember that not everything is easy. You have to fight for it. Bridget Jones forget everything the bad things that happened to her and she moved on. Whether you like it or not, you have to move on. A woman like her is hard to find but easy to love. Love was made not to be cruel. Mark Darcy a.k.a. Colin Firth proved that he likes Bridget just the way she is. This film is very cheesy. I recommend this to every lovers whether they are together or not. In relationship,don't force him or her to say yes. The more you expect, the more you get hurt. Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken. Bridget loved Mark and Mark loved Bridget because both of them understand each other and they have patience and they know the meaning of love. For all single person, all you need is love.To be hones, Renee Zellweger should have won her Oscar for this cheesy film. Thank You and God Bless.

Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is 32, over-weight, drinks too much, smokes too much, and perpetually single. At the New Year party, her mother tries to set her up with family friends' son divorced lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) who isn't happy with the setup. She starts a diary vowing to fix her life. She has a crush on her boss Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) at the London publisher. She begins a relationship with him despite his womanizing past. It goes bad and she quits. She gets a spot as a TV reporter which results in some usual reporting. Darcy gets claimed by lawyer colleague Natasha (Embeth Davidtz). Darcy and Cleaver were once best friends but an affair with Darcy's wife have made them enemies. She bounces back and forth between Darcy and Cleaver. All the while, Bridget's parents' marriage is in trouble.Renée Zellweger is adorably awkward. She does some tough work transforming herself into a chubby Brit. I'm sure a real Brit would probably work better but Zellweger does a good job. Also there is a question of exactly how chubby she really is. The movie tries to accentuate her weight but she's never not adorable. The story is fun and sitcomy. It has its own heart especially with her father played by Jim Broadbent. It has two dashing male leads and all the angsty love triangle fun in the world.
