What You Need To Know:
Set in England, BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY is a charming, warm-hearted, funny romantic comedy spoiled by plenty of strong foul language and some immoral sexual situations. Also, one of Bridget’s friends is openly homosexual, but this element is not stressed often in the plot. Renee Zellweger gives a marvelous performance as Bridget in this movie, which is based on the best-selling book by Helen Fielding. Ms. Zellweger breathes life into what is already a sympathetic character. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth also do a bang-up job in their roles as the two love interests. It’s really too bad, therefore, that the filmmakers thought to include the objectionable portions of Ms. Fielding’s story

Renee Zellweger plays the title role in the romantic comedy BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY, also starring Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
Bridget Jones is a 32-year-old professional woman in England fighting off spinsterhood. When she overhears a nasty personal remark from a dour young lawyer named Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), Bridget decides to diet and cut down on her drinking and smoking to snag the man of her dreams. She settles on her publishing boss, Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant. Bridget also decides to start a diary to chart her progress.
Daniel betrays Bridget with an old girlfriend from America about whom he neglected to tell her, so Bridget seeks solace in the company of her quirky friends. She also publicly chastises Daniel and gets a new job as a rookie television journalist. Unexpectedly, dour Mark turns out to have a warm, inner strength. A chagrined Daniel returns, however, and the two men fight it out for Bridget’s affections.

Renee Zellweger gives a marvelous performance as Bridget in this movie, which is based on the best-selling book by Helen Fielding. Ms. Zellweger breathes life into what is already a sympathetic character. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth also do a bang-up job in their roles as the two love interests. The filmmakers, including director Sharon Maguire, do a great job of making the audience root for Bridget to see past her differences with Mark and find a stable, satisfying relationship. It’s really too bad, therefore, that they thought to include the objectionable portions of Ms. Fielding’s story.
