Overview

Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against expectations. 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.

Viewing Notes

Run up to watching the new one.  Haven’t watched this movie in years and I had forgotten how some of these scenes really make me cringe.  Some good funny one-liners - “Tangerine-tinted buffoon” certainly rings a bell.

Always great to see scenes filmed in and around London.

Ooof - that flashback montage 1/2 way thru the movie is a waste of time.

Lots of characters in the movie remind me of Mike’s family in England.  :)
