	Mixed Reviews - Bridge Jones' Diary - reviewed by Jill Cozzi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bridget Jones, the heroine of Helen Fielding's bestselling novel and the film bearing her name, could probably get more use out of this upcoming class than I will, although because she is thirty-something and unmarried, she is not offended by e-mails from her boss saying things like "I like your tits in that sweater".
		As insulting as BRIDGET JONES is to all single women and even more significantly, to all of us who are heavier than Renee Zellweger, even WITH her much-vaunted twenty extra pounds (which look great on her, by the way), it's saved from being a total mess by some reasonably crisp dialogue and terrific performances.
		BRIDGET JONES is now the second movie (the first being Woody Allen's Small Time Crooks) in which Hugh Grant leaves behind his "aw-shucks-ain't-I-adorable" stutters and hair-flipping, fitting effortlessly into the cloak of Charming English Bounder.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Bridget Jones's Diary" review (2001)
		As brought to life by Renée Zellweger (in a convincing English accent), Bridget Jones is the consummate modern amour-neurotic.
		As directed by feature rookie Sharon Maguire (a TV and documentary vet who is pals with the author), the atmosphere of "Bridget Jones's Diary" does feel a bit too much like it was cast from a mold provided by producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner ("Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Notting Hill").
		While "Bridget Jones" may not be a romantic comedy classic, it's definitely got the goods to be a major hit.

	Bridget Jones's Diary (2001): Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones - PopMatters Film Review
		Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger -- and yes, I was worried too at first by this casting decision, but she's perfect!) is a single British woman in her early thirties who struggles with, among other things, her weight, her family, her job, her self-esteem, and her lovelife, or, more accurately, the lack thereof.
		Bridget's mother (Gemma Jones) certainly corresponds to the flighty Mrs.
		Jones is more a response to Austen than a reflection, as she abandons her roles as wife and mother, and runs off with the host of a home shopping cable television show.

	Amazon.ca: Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Though the star still has her charms, and some of Bridget's social gaffes are amusing, the film is mired in low comedy--a sequence in a Thai women's prison is more offensive than outrageous--with only Grant's rakish mischief to pull it out of the swamp.
		Helen Fielding had the sense to be self-deprecating in the title of her second Bridget Jones novel, and director Beeban Kidron considers that her license to concoct a film that's altogether unreasonable indeed.
		Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason once again makes hay of the title character's tendency to go fanny up, flogging the slapstick until it's as wet as RenÃ©e Zellweger after repeated puddle drenchings.

	Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
		Though the film is primarily fluff, plays heavy on stereotypes, chooses silly over serious, and Jones herself comically self-destructive -- Zellweger makes her as real as possible, winning over audiences easily.
		Really more of a series of vignettes in which Zellweger is left to perform her clumsy Bridget Jones mess-ups, the film has no real depth, nothing more in structure, and even barely an emotional arc.
		Just as Jones only intermittently presents herself in an up front and honest way, so does the film.

	3BlackChicks Review™... BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY (Bams)
		When her mother Pamela (Gemma Jones) steers Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) toward Yet Another disastrous hookup - this time with barrister and mama's boy Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), to whom Bridget takes an immediate dislike (and vice-versa) - Bridget decides to take action to change her life.
		She starts by keeping a diary ["Bridget Jones' Diary", my how clever!] in which she honestly notes all of her bad habits and life-affectations, including noting her weight, her smoking jones, her tendency to drink, and most of all, her potentially hazardous fantasy life.
		Jones doesn't strike me as the kind of Liberated Chick who'd go out and Be Every Womyn (whilst spending her Oppressor's paycheck), or the kind of I-Don'-Need-No-Man Sista who'd blame every Man in existence who doesn't conform to her rigid checklist of qualifying attributes.

		The movie begins with Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) turning 32 and realizing that in order to avoid Glenn Close's fate in Fatal Attraction, she must change herself and her life.
		The other subplots and supporting characters in the movie were equivocal and superfluous, adding to the lack of substance.
		Bridget's separated parents (played by Gemma Jones and John Broadbent) were simply on hand to add more torment to Bridget's life for seemingly no reason (besides, they were back in each other's arms by the movie's end); Bridget's friends Jude (Shirley Henderson), Shazza (Sally Phillips), and Tom (James Callis) were the predictable singles support line.

	Bridget Jones's Diary (2001): Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones - PopMatters Film Review
		Smart, snarky, and agonizingly self-aware, she records her endlessly witty thoughts, wishes, and observations semi-regularly for a year, over which time she learns something about her desires, her neuroses, and the tyranny of social order.
		Bridget's apparent appeal is that she is so much like so many other young women -- and perhaps men as well -- who feel beset by familial, professional, and cultural ideals advertised on tv and magazine covers.
		Invited by friends of her parents, she must confront not only her own Mum and Dad (Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent), but also assorted folks from her childhood, including one Mark Darcy (the cleverly cast Colin Firth, who, as Bridget fans already know, was Fielding's model for the character).
