Bridget Jones's Diary

"Misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life."

"This ultra-hyped adaptation of the ultra-successful Helen Fielding novel sends you out with a smile on your face."

"This is a strong debut from former documentary-maker Sharon Maguire, who directs with chutzpah and style."

"A story like this can't work unless we feel unconditional affection for the heroine, and casting Zellweger achieves that."

"A film full of wit, warmth and honest, knowing humor, topped off with a plethora of excellent performances."

"One of the most genuinely funny romances for some time."

"It's Hugh Grant, cleverly cast against type as a scheming love rat, who steals the laurels."
