Bridget Jones's Diary

Writen by r96sk on February 01, 2025

'Bridget Jones’s Diary' delivers enough, it is fairly amusing and moves along well across around 90 minutes. Renée Zellweger plays a Brit impressively, something that feels quite rare to say about an American actor. She is excellent throughout, particularly for the comedy. I will say that I didn't really sense any proper onscreen chemistry with her and the eventual bloke she lands with (won't spoiler whom), Zellweger had more with the other dude to be honest. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are in this in those respective roles, no surprise to say they are both good. About time I got this watched, being from its country of origin and all that. I had heard of it for as long as I can remember, it's a popular film evidently. Despite that, the only things I knew coming into this were the lead cast and, eh, the main character's preferred choice of underwear... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh, and I was also aware of Gabrielle's banger "Out of Reach", which I knew originated from this movie. I didn't, though, know "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell (another tune, don't @ me) also gained popularity due to this. How about that.
