Elisa Terribly so cheesy and so dated - a portrayal of women as dumb and with a low self-esteem, and entirely dependent on men. An insult to women. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/21 Full Review Abe A Not an awful movie, but not a great movie. Just baby-soft pabulum ground down to a soft consistency and fed through a teat to the audience; plot is non-propulsive, story is entertaining but flaccid, and I suppose it's watchable for an airplane flight home from Brussels to the US but you learn absolutely nothing. The 'twists' are somewhat predictable, the diary conceit is silly, but while it's bad, it's bad in a good way. I did like Hugh Grant, Renee Zellweger wasn't half-bad but was, frankly, a tad over the top, and the Colin Firth character wasn't greatly believable. If you're going to contrast Firth with Grant at least give us an explanation for why Zellweger's character should be attracted to two very different types. None's presented. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Mason M Though Bridget Jones's Diary is far from lacking in flaws, it still remains to be a cute and often quite amusing film that I couldn't help but enjoy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Wellington C It has the classic charm and good humor of 2000s romantic comedies, which are missing in today's either too silly or too realistic films. The beginning is the hardest part and can be the Achilles heel for people to decide whether to continue or give up altogether. Bridget and Daniel's relationship is very poorly developed, it seems so meaningless that it bothers you that everything is just happening in her head. Darcy's totally unusual interest in Bridget is also unconvincing and the script does little to explore the motivations: did it come from childhood or was it because he was interested in funny women? The supporting characters are not very charismatic: Bridget's parents are completely dispensable and contribute little to the story, the women who surround Daniel and Darcy when they don't appear out of nowhere, disappear out of nowhere. It's a little entertaining, but I found the development of the entire story and the relationships weak, superficial and unrealistic most of the time, which prevented me from getting more attached to the plots that were proposed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 So funny and sweet. Renee gives a stellar performance. Love the triangle With her,grant and firth. Tim Treakle Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Noel D It’s a woman’s film. The jokes are seen a mile off. That said, it’s an interesting view on grief and aging. The womaniser played by Hugh Grant is revealed as a lonely older man who now see merit in babysitting Brigit’s two children. Brigit herself finds love in the end but it would have been more interesting for her to find meaning in the single life.
