The story of Bridget Jones first began as a diary collumn in a newspaper, rose to success in book form (then it's sequel) and then finally hit the movies in 2001 with Briget played quite perfectly by the lovely Renee Zellwegger.
This modern take on Pride and Predjudice follows the female protagonist Briget Jones who decides to keep a diary of her life; unlike the Mary-Jane all too perfect characters in most stories and movies of today, Bridget is quite literally EVERY woman you've ever known.
Bridget is a 30-something urban singleton on the look for love - perhaps in the wrong places. She's an ever so slightly overweight (Zellwegger put on weight specifically for the movie) office worker who reads self-help books ... Read More:

Now, it is true to say that the iconography of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones isn't one to be taken too seriously. Beginning life as a newspaper serial whose captions would later constitute a worldwide bestselling novel, Fielding at once captured the humility, the optimism and every single wine stain of the modern day middle-class working girl in England, with barbed asides regarding celebrity culture and the dating game that bordered on the scabrous but that were also never less-than-funny. To turn the novel into a charming romantic comedy blockbuster proved to be a bit of a no-brainer for Working Title and Miramax, and thanks to a marketing push that enveloped the world much like Miss Jones's underpants did her tummy and waist, pubs became wine bars or ...

I mean full credit to the writer of 'bridget jones's diary' for creating such a fantastic insight into the mind of many females today but i think much credit into the success of this film should go to the actors cast, as they do amazingly well in portraying their characters.
A must see for men and women and definately will be a classic.

You know that if you are even considering buying this DVD box set that you know a good thing when you see it. This would make a super gift for any woman, and even for the ones who sneer at any and all non-art house films because they will secretly love it. Put your feet up, have a glass of wine and enjoy!

3 fantastic British films, showing that us Brits still know what we're doing when it comes to films (even if we do need a little American help with money, stars etc). Hugh Grant actually shows in Bridget Jones' Diary that he can play different characters. The delicious Colin Firth stars in 2 of the three films. Ok, so these are Chick Flicks, but what's wrong with that. Get some mates around, buy a couple of bottles of Lambrini and get watching. Ideal girl's night in films. ENJOY!
