Renee Zellweger stars in this adaption of the acclaimed novel as Bridget Jones, a single thirty- something Londoner who decides it's time to take control of her life - and start keeping a diary.
It's no secret that this story is a modern day version of pride and prejudice, in fact the very character of Mark Darcy is, as suggested, based on Mr. Darcy and was written with Colin Firth in mind. Given that Pride and Prejudice is an amazing book and was made into an excellent series it is quite a hard act to follow. However this story adds comedy to the romance and produces an easy to watch and enjoyable film. Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger)is unhappy with her life in general, and particularly with the fact that she doesn't have a man to call her own. Cue her enigmatic boss who she fantisies about and then ends up with. It brings to light a lot of issues women struggle with - alcohol/cigarette intake, weight, and our obsession with finding that perfect partner and the belief that it is to do with how we look. It is all hilariously funny but there is an undercurrent that shows us women how ridiculous it is. Thankfully this film has a happy ending when she realises that he is not right for her, and after a lot of mis-understanding and hilarious scenes she finally realises that the man for her is Mark after all, at which point we all join with her in the feelings of relief and sheer exultation she has in being with him. If this film doesn't leave you with a smile on your face, whether you have someone to share your life with or not, then you haven't been watching the same film as me!
