		Mit "Bridget Jones - Schokolade zum Frühstück" klingelten damals die Kinokassen in einem Maße, was selbst die Erwartungen der Filmemacher übertraf.
		Mit einem überzeugenden britischen Akzent (Originalversion) und deutlich zu viel Speck auf den Rippen mimt Zellweger das etwas ungeschickt wirkende aber meistens lebensfrohe Naivchen.

	Reading Group Guide \| BRIDGET JONES"S DIARY by Helen Fielding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Bridget Jones's Diary is the devastatingly self-aware, laugh-out-loud account of a year in the life of a thirty-something Singleton on a permanent doomed quest for self-improvement.
		At one point Bridget realizes that she's been on a diet for so many years that "the idea that you might actually need calories to survive has been completely wiped out of my consciousness." Yet one of her greatest assets is that she recognizes that this eternal quest for self-improvement is doomed and silly.
		On the one hand, Bridget's mother gets her daughter the job in television and is a constant in her daughter's life; on the other hand, she's impossibly self-centered, endlessly critical, and an object of some competition.

	Bridget Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bridget Jones is a fictional character created by English writer Helen Fielding.
		Fielding first published Bridget Jones' stories in the form of a diary in English newspaper columns in The Independent and later The Daily Telegraph.
		They chronicled the life of Bridget Jones, a thirtysomething singleton woman living in London, surrounded by a surrogate "urban family" of friends as she tries to make sense of life and love in the 1990s.

	Delta Sierra Arts » Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Bridget’s precepts come humorously from her new source of inspiration, self-help books (”a new form of religion”), and Fielding’s description of the conflicting advice (Bridget owns both Happy to be Single and How to Find Your Perfect Partner in Thirty Days) manages to simultaneously send up the heroine and increase our goodwill towards her.
		And Bridget achieves success as a freelance TV journalist in the novel because viewers relate to her nervousness, just as the whole Bridget phenomenon was in large part due to an instant empathetic relation to Bridget’s foibles.
		Whereas the relationship between Bridget’s mother and her unctuous Portuguese suitor Julio was the plot lynchpin of the first novel, this time around the mother’s adoption of Wellington, a Kikuyu tribesman who is much wiser than the muddle-headed, annoying mother, seems superfluous, included merely for the humorous possibilities.

	BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY
		In the movie, Bridget certainly has her foibles, but all of the manic behavior is pushed aside to bring us someone who's already aware of who she is, if not exactly always comfortable showing that side to the world.
		Bridget is appalled, seeing her mom shilling cheap jewelry on television with her lover, but is more worried about the toll it's taking on her father, a quiet man who just wants his life back.
		Bridget's mates have a much bigger role in the book and some of their foibles have been removed which is a shame.

	BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY (2001). A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The self-loathing aspects of Bridget's personality -- her obsession with her weight and appearance, her striving to recreate herself in the image that the media promotes -- are the objects of satire in this movie, which means that the underlying message of the film is against those self-destructive tendencies.
		The fact that Bridget has sexual longings for men and that she is seeking for one man to establish a loving sexual relationship with is a virtue, not a flaw, of this movie.
		Bridget could just never seem to find herself, even at close to 40, and that made me suspicious of even the good choice she made in the end.

		It does contain Bridget, a normal-sized, normal-beautied, normal-intellected woman who finds guys and has them found for her by her mother, hangs out with neurotic, foul-mouthed gal pals and goofy, perpetually cruising gay male friends, and lip-synchs in a far more realistic fashion.
		Bridget smokes too much, drinks too much, is obsessed with the thought that she weighs too much, and generally thinks too much about everything--especially men.
		Once that small hurdle is cleared, Renée becomes Bridget, and one forgets she wasn't born across the pond.

	CNN - Books: Reviews -"Bridget Jones's Diary" - July 4, 1998
		While she might espouse feminist ideals, she somehow is on a "permanent, doomed quest for self-improvement," as Fielding put it in a CNN interview, and can't shake the age-old need to please and attract the attentions of a man.
		Bridget Jones is a fair compromise between the '70s-style feminist and the '50s-era debutante -- the '90s woman.
		While Bridget's weight has been translated to pounds from the British stone, there are several very British references in the novel, such as store names, celebrities and television shows.

		The fact remains, Bridget Jones is simply a literary character of such enormity and importance that she cannot be forcefully assimilated into any one actress's frame.
		Bridget Jones rivals such other great characters of film and print for one reason, a reason that one does not have to be single, overweight, British, or even female to comprehend: Women just relate to Bridget.
		Bridget's determination to not "sulk about having no boyfriend, but develop inner poise and authority and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without boyfriend, as best way to obtain boyfriend" is admirable.

	Bridget Jones's Diary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bridget Jones's Diary is a 1996 novel by Helen Fielding.
		One concept introduced and often revisited in both Bridget Jones's Diary and The Edge of Reason is that of "fuckwittage": the emotional turmoil intentionally wreaked by men who fall anywhere along the spectrum of womanizers to commitment-phobics.
		Bridget's family is comprised of an overconfident mother who seems always to be finding new adventures and projects, a much more down-to-earth father (though he is sometimes driven into uncharacteristically unstable states of mind by his wife), and a brother, Jamie, a more peripheral character.

		As dogged at making resolutions for self-improvement as she is irrepressibly irreverent, Bridget also would like to have someone to show the folks back home and their friends, who make "tick-tock" noises at her to evoke the motion of the biological clock.
		Bridget is knowing, obviously attractive but never too convinced of the fact, and prone ever to fear the worst.
		Bridget obsesses constantly about her weight and unmarried state, and as the year begins, she also obsesses about her playboy boss, Daniel Cleaver.

		Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, falls short of its lightly comic predecessor, just as Helen Fielding's second book failed to measure up to her first Bridget Jones novel.
		Bridget, a TV journalist, has met the perfect man and left the single world behind.
		Zellweger struggles to make Bridget likable despite her petty jealousies, paranoia and annoying habit of mucking up that which is perfectly good.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| "Bridget Jones's Diary"
		The problem was that the Bridget Jones of Fielding's novel wasn't so much a character as a miniskirted confluence of every stock insecurity that single women nearing the end of their baby-making years are alleged to feel.
		Bridget's office is the kind of place that's peppered with sourly conservative workmates and leering superiors like the one named Mr.
		Meanwhile, Bridget goes about the business of being single and feeling increasingly uncomfortable with that fact; she makes the occasional reference to wanting to lose that 20 pounds, quit smoking and, of course, find a nice, steady boyfriend.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Bridget Jones's Diary" review (2001)
		Everything I know about Bridget's struggles with smoking, men and her weight I have gleaned from friends' enthusiastic reviews of the two Helen Fielding novels, which I'm told are written as diary entries in the heroine's first-person short-hand.
		But he really makes an effort with Bridget, who pretty much wants nothing to do with him even though she is hardly one to judge a person for letting nervousness get the best of him.
		While "Bridget Jones" may not be a romantic comedy classic, it's definitely got the goods to be a major hit.

		Bridget breaks the ultimate office taboo by sleeping with her boss, the dashing Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant, simply swell as a ne'er-do-well for a change).
		Their affair is a blissful, active one, but the minute she utters the L-word, off he races like a scared rabbit into the arms of a skinnier paramour.
		The nonsense about Bridget's mother and her midlife meltdown was silly in the book and not much better on screen.

	Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
		BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY began life as a column by journalist Helen Fielding in London's Independent newspaper, but from the beginning, the calorie-counting, e-mail-happy, self-help-book-addicted, vodka-drinking Bridget seemed destined to take on a life of her own.
		While the Bridget Jones thing was running in The Independent, someone pointed it out to me and said: "Did you realise you're beginning to be mentioned regularly in that column?" So by the time it was a book, I was well aware that the whole Darcy thing was part of it.
		The Observer (4.4.2001) Bridget Jones is described as a reworking of Pride and Prejudice.

		This previous question may be applied to the film, 'Bridget Jones' Diary', in which Renee Zellweger plays the titular character in a quite surprising way.
		'Jones' Diary' is a picturesque, clever little film about the trials and tribulations of a thirty-somethings misadventures due to her disastrous romantic life.

	MovieFreak.com - "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" Movie Review
		That goes doubly for “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” a film with so little rationale for existing I can’t imagine the audience it was made for.
		Throwing out most of the book’s storyline – which was probably a good idea based on that one’s ill-reception – and using a screenplay by a cadre of writers (including the author), this is still a mess of a movie, one which goes, quite literally, nowhere.
		There is no reason, no rhyme and certainly no point to watching more of Bridget or her adventures, and the only edge to be found here is the one the filmmakers fell off of.

	"Bridget Jones's Diary" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Meet Bridget Jones, a thirty-one-year-old publishing-house-marketing-clerk, whose poor self-image is irrevocably hinged to her lack of a romantic relationship.
		It is unclear if any character - including Bridget's 'chums' - has any values or principles, and it's difficult to realize this group of self-absorbed thirty-somethings are at an age when they should be managing, or at least contributing to, the world.
		Bridget Jones became an icon that an overwhelmingly great number of British young people could relate to.
