Overview
Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her various imperfections. 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. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones. Thrown into the mix are Bridget’s band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance into whom Bridget cannot seem to stop running or help finding quietly attractive.

Viewing Notes
I’ve never seen this. Was curious to check this out after seeing a trailer for the new sequel. In that trailer Renée Zellweger looks like her old self, albeit older, pre-plastic surgery. So I’m wondering if the sequel was actually produced before she underwent such a dramatic change to her face.
Anyways, this movie is okay. Wild to see Colin Firth so young and in this stick up his butt role. I can understand why this was a big hit at the time. It’s fine but a little too cornball for my tastes.
