Bridget Jones's Diary

ALL WOMEN KEEP SCORE... ONLY THE GREAT ONES PUT IT IN WRITING.

Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her various imperfections. As a New Year's resolution, Bridget decides to take control of her life, starting by keeping a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones. Thrown into the mix are Bridget's band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance into whom Bridget cannot seem to stop running or help finding quietly attractive.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
